Indications & Usage

INDICATIONS AND USAGE Intralipid ® 10% is indicated as a source of calories and essential fatty acids for patients requiring parenteral nutrition for extended periods of time (usually for more than 5 days) and as a source of essential fatty acids for prevention of EFAD.

Dosage & Administration

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Intralipid 10% should be administered as a part of Intravenous nutrition via peripheral vein or by central venous infusion. Adult Patients The initial rate of infusion in adults should be 1 mL/minute for the first 15 to 30 minutes of infusion. If no untoward reactions occur (see ADVERSE REACTIONS section), the infusion rate can be increased to 2 mL/minute. Not more than 500 mL of Intralipid 10% (A 10% I.V.

The daily dosage should not exceed 2.5 g of fat/kg of body weight (25 mL of Intralipid 10% per kg). Intralipid 10% should make up no more than 60% of the total caloric input to the patient. Maximum infusion rate should not exceed 0.1 g/kg/hr. Carbohydrate and a source of amino acids should comprise the remaining caloric input. Pediatric Patients The dosage for premature infants starts at 0.5 g fat/kg body weight/24 hours (5 mL Intralipid 10%) and may be increased in relation to the infant's ability to eliminate fat. The maximum recommended dosage is 3 g fat/kg/24 hours. Pediatric patients may b
