Alpha-linolenic Acid (ala) Overview

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is an essential omega-3 fatty acid. It is primarily found in vegetable oils like flaxseed, canola, and soybean oils, as well as in red meat, dairy products, margarines, and salad dressings containing vegetable oils. Walnuts and other edible nuts are also significant sources of ALA, along with smaller amounts in green leafy vegetables and chocolate. ALA is present in human breast milk, infant formulas, and intravenous fat emulsions. The body converts ALA into longer and more unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, such as EPA and DHA, with conversion rates typically low but possibly as high as 30%. However, in some disease states like type 1 diabetes, chronic alcoholism, and schizophrenia, the conversion of ALA to longer-chain fatty acids is reduced, though the reason for this remains unknown. R-ALA, or R-alpha-linolenic acid, is a specific form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) that occurs naturally in foods. Unlike ALA, which encompasses both R-ALA and S-ALA forms, R-ALA is the biologically active isomer that is more readily absorbed and utilized by the body.

Imipenem, Cilastatin, Relebactam Overview

  • Imipenem, cilastatin, and relebactam injection is used to treat adults with certain serious urinary tract infections including kidney infections, and certain serious abdominal (stomach) infections when there are few or no other treatment options. It is also used to treat certain types of pneumonia that developed in adults who are on ventilators or who were already in a hospital. Imipenem is in a class of medications called carbapenem antibiotics. It works by killing bacteria. Cilastatin is in a class of medications called dehydropeptidase inhibitors. It works by helping imipenem stay active in your body for a longer period of time. Relebactam is in a class of medications called beta-lactamase inhibitors. It works by preventing bacteria from destroying imipenem.

  • Antibiotics such as imipenem, cilastatin, and relebactam injection will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections. Taking or using antibiotics when they are not needed increases your risk of getting an infection later that resists antibiotic treatment.
