⏳ Availability & generic status
We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

( 1 ) Limitations of Use: Not recommended for use in pediatric patients < 2 years including preterm infants because the fixed content of the formulation does not meet nutritional requirements in this age group.
( 1 , 5.1 , 8.4 )
⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • For intravenous infusion only into a central vein. ( 2.1 , 5.10 ) • See full prescribing information regarding preparation, administration, instructions for use, the recommended dosage in adults, and dosage modifications for patients with renal impairment. ( 2.1 , 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 )
2.1Administration • KABIVEN is for intravenous infusion only into a central vein [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.11 )]. • Use a 1.2 micron in-line filter. • Use of a vented intravenous administration set with the vent in the open position could result in air embolism. • Use a dedicated line without any connections. Multiple connections could result in air embolism due to residual air being drawn from the primary container before administration of the fluid from the secondary container is completed. • Do not exceed the recommended maximum infusion rate of 2.6 mL/kg/hour [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 ) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. • Ceftriaxone must not be administered simultaneously with calcium-containing intravenous solutions such as KABIVEN via a Y-site due to precipitation.
However, in patients other than neonates, ceftriaxone and KABIVEN may be administered sequentially if the infusion lines are thoroughly flushed between infusions with a compatible fluid [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] . • Do not use administration sets and lines that contain di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP). Administration sets that contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC) components have DEHP as a plasticizer.
2.2Important Preparation Instructions • Inspect the bag prior to activation. Discard the bag in the following situations: ͦ Evidence of damage to the bag ͦ More than one chamber is white ͦ Solution is yellow ͦ Any seal is already broken • Activate the bag [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )] . • Once the bag is activated, ensure the vertical seals between chambers are broken at least from the bend in the seals and down to the ports. The upper sections of the vertical seals above the bend and the horizontal seal may remain closed. • It is recommended to mix the contents thoroughly by inverting the bag upside down to ensure a homogenous admixture. • Ensure the vertical seals between chambers are broken and the contents of all three chambers are mixed together prior to infusion [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )] . • Use KABIVEN immediately after the introduction of additives.
If not used immediately, the storage time and conditions prior to use should not be longer than 24 hours at 2° to 8°C (36° to 46°F). After removal from storage at 2° to 8°C (36° to 46°F), the admixture should be infused within 24 hours. Any mixture remaining must be discarded. • In the absence of additives, once activated, KABIVEN remains stable for 48 hours at 25°C (77°F).
If not used immediately, the activated bag can be stored for up to 7 days under refrigeration [2° to 8°C (36º to 46°F)]. After removal from refrigeration, the activated bag should be used within 48 hours. • For total parenteral nutrition add multivitamins and trace elements via the additive port. Any other additions to the bag should be evaluated by a pharmacist for compatibility.
Questions about compatibility may be directed to Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC. • When introducing additives, it is recommended to use 18 to 23 gauge needles with a maximum length of 1.5 inches (40 mm) and to mix thoroughly after each addition, use aseptic technique and add after the vertical seals have been broken (i.e. bag has been activated) and the three components are mixed [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )] . • Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.
Inspect KABIVEN to ensure: ͦ Precipitates have not formed during the mixing or addition of additives. ͦ The emulsion has not separated. Separation of the emulsion can be visibly identified by a yellowish…

⛔ Contraindications ▾
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS The use of KABIVEN is contraindicated in: • Neonates (28 days of age or younger) receiving concomitant treatment with ceftriaxone, even if separate infusion lines are used, due to the risk of fatal ceftriaxone calcium salt precipitation in the neonate's bloodstream [see Limitations of Use ( 1 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )]. • Patients with known hypersensitivity to egg, soybean, peanut or any of the active or inactive ingredients in KABIVEN [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )]. • Patients with severe disorders of lipid metabolism characterized by hypertriglyceridemia (serum triglyceride concentration >1,000 mg/dL) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.10 )] . • Patients with inborn errors of amino acid metabolism • Patients with cardiopulmonary instability (including pulmonary edema, cardiac insufficiency, myocardial infarction, acidosis and hemodynamic instability requiring significant vasopressor support) • Patients with hemophagocytic syndrome • Concomitant treatment with ceftriaxone in neonates (28 days of age or younger).
( 4 ) • Known hypersensitivity to egg, soybean, peanut or any of the active or inactive ingredients. ( 4 ) • Severe disorders of lipid metabolism characterized by hypertriglyceridemia (with serum triglycerides >1,000 mg/dL. ( 4 , 5.10 ) • Inborn errors of amino acid metabolism.
( 4 ) • Cardiopulmonary instability. ( 4 ) • Hemophagocytic syndrome. ( 4 )
⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Clinical Decompensation with Rapid Infusion of Intravenous Lipid Emulsion in Neonates and Infants : Acute respiratory distress, metabolic acidosis, and death after rapid infusion of intravenous lipid emulsions have been reported. ( 5.1 ) • Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease : Increased risk in patients who receive parenteral nutrition for greater than 2 weeks. Monitor liver tests; if abnormalities occur, consider discontinuation or dosage reduction.
( 5.2 ) • Pulmonary Embolism and Respiratory Distress due to Pulmonary Vascular Precipitates: If signs of pulmonary distress occur, stop the infusion and initiate a medical evaluation. ( 5.3 ) • Hypersensitivity Reactions : Monitor for signs or symptoms and discontinue infusion if reactions occur. ( 5.4 ) • Precipitation with Ceftriaxone: Do not administer ceftriaxone simultaneously with KABIVEN via a Y-site.
( 4 , 5.5 , 8.4 ) • Infection, fat overload, hyperglycemia and refeeding complications : Monitor for signs and symptoms; monitor laboratory parameters. ( 5.6 , 5.7 , 5.8 , 5.9 , 5.14 )
5.1Clinical Decompensation with Rapid Infusion of Intravenous Lipid Emulsion in Neonates and Infants In the postmarketing setting, serious adverse reactions including acute respiratory distress, metabolic acidosis, and death have been reported in neonates and infants after rapid infusion of intravenous lipid emulsions. Hypertriglyceridemia was commonly reported. Preterm and small for gestational age infants have poor clearance of intravenous lipid emulsion and increased free fatty acid plasma levels following lipid emulsion infusion.
5.2Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease and Other Hepatobiliary Disorders Risk of Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease Parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD), also referred to as intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD), can present as cholestasis or hepatic steatosis, and may progress to steatohepatitis with fibrosis and cirrhosis (possibly leading to chronic hepatic failure). The etiology of PNALD is multifactorial; however, intravenously administered phytosterols (plant sterols) contained in plant-derived lipid emulsions, such as Intralipid (included in KABIVEN), have been associated with development of PNALD.
In a randomized study of neonates and infants expected to be treated with PN for at least 28 days, parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC), a precursor to PNALD, developed more frequently in Intralipid-treated patients than in patients treated with a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )]. Monitor liver tests in patients treated with KABIVEN and consider discontinuation or dosage reduction if abnormalities occur. Other Hepatobiliary Disorders Hepatobiliary disorders including cholecystitis and cholelithiasis have developed in some PN-treated patients without preexisting liver disease.
Monitor liver tests when administering KABIVEN. Patients developing signs of hepatobiliary disorders should be assessed early to determine whether these conditions are related to KABIVEN use.
5.3Pulmonary Embolism and Respiratory Distress due to Pulmonary Vascular Precipitates Pulmonary vascular precipitates causing pulmonary emboli (including some fatalities) and respiratory distress have been reported in patients receiving parenteral nutrition. Excessive addition of calcium and phosphate increases the risk of the formation of calcium phosphate precipitates; however, precipitates have been reported even in the absence of phosphate salt in the solution. Precipitation following passage through an in-line filter and suspected in vivo precipitate formation has also been reported.
Visually inspect the prepared solution, the infusion set, and catheter for precipitates, prior to administration as well as periodically during the administration. If signs of respiratory distress or pulmonary embolism occur, stop the KABIVEN infusion…
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the prescribing information. • Clinical Decompensation with Rapid Infusion of Intravenous Lipid Emulsion in Neonates and Infants [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. • Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease and Other Hepatobiliary Disorders [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )]. • Pulmonary Embolism and Respiratory Distress due to Pulmonary Vascular Precipitates [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )]. • Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )]. • Precipitation with Ceftriaxone [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )]. • Infections [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )]. • Fat Overload Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )]. • Refeeding Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )]. • Diabetes and Hyperglycemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.9 )]. • Hypertriglyceridemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.10 )]. • Vein Damage and Thrombosis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.11 )]. • Electrolyte Imbalance and Fluid Overload in Patients with Decreased Renal Function [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.12 )]. • Aluminum Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.13 )].
The most common adverse reactions (≥3%) are nausea, pyrexia, hypertension, vomiting, decreased hemoglobin, decreased total protein, hypokalemia, decreased potassium, and increased gamma glutamyltransferase.

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The clinical data described for KABIVEN reflects exposure in 145 patients exposed for 7 days to 4 weeks in 7 active-controlled trials. The pooled population exposed to KABIVEN was 25 to 87 years old, 35% female, 99% Caucasian.
The enrolled patients had varied underlying conditions such as gastrointestinal disorders (41%) neoplasms (48%), vascular disorders (35%) and other surgical procedures (21%). Most patients received central intravenous infusion doses of ≥80% of their target mean daily exposure. Adverse reactions occurring in at least 1% of patients who received KABIVEN are shown in Table 3 .
Table 3: Adverse Reactions in >1% of Patients Treated with KABIVEN * Terms as reported in clinical studies Adverse reaction KABIVEN N=145 (%) Nausea 22 (15) Pyrexia 13 (9) Hypertension 12 (8) Vomiting 8 (6) Hemoglobin decreased 8 (6) Protein total decreased 6 (4) Hypokalemia 6 (4) Blood potassium decreased 6 (4) Gamma-glutamyltransferase increased 6 (4) Hyperglycemia 3 (2) Blood alkaline phosphatase increased 2 (1) Blood calcium decreased 2 (1) Prothrombin time prolonged 2 (1) Pruritus 2 (1) Tachycardia 2 (1) Less common adverse reactions in ≤1% of patients who received KABIVEN were hyperkalemia, hypertriglyceridemia, headache, dizziness, dysgeusia, rash, eczema, blood glucose increased, and increase in blood triglycerides.
In a randomized active-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, multi-center study that included 152 neonates and 9 patients ranging in age from 29 to 153 days who were expected to require PN for at least 28 days, parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC), a precursor to PNALD, developed more frequently in Intralipid-treated patients than in patients treated with a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion. Intralipid is the lipid emulsion component of KABIVEN. PNAC (defined as direct bilirubin >2mg/dl with a second confirmed elevation >2mg/dl at least 7 days later) occurred in 11.5% (9/78) of Intralipid-treated patients and 2.4% (2/83) of patients treated with a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion.
Most PNAC events occurred in patients who were treated for longer than 28 days.…
🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Coumarin and coumarin derivatives, including warfarin: Anticoagulant activity may be counteracted; monitor laboratory parameters. ( 7.1 )
7.1Ceftriaxone Precipitation of ceftriaxone-calcium can occur when ceftriaxone is mixed with calcium-containing parenteral nutrition solutions, such as KABIVEN, in the same intravenous administration line. Do not administer ceftriaxone simultaneously with KABIVEN via a Y-site. However, ceftriaxone and KABIVEN may be administered sequentially if the infusion lines are thoroughly flushed between infusions with a compatible fluid [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )].
Deaths have occurred in neonates (28 days of age or younger) who received concomitant intravenous calcium-containing solutions with ceftriaxone resulting from calcium-ceftriaxone precipitates in the lungs and kidneys, even when separate infusion lines were used [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )].
7.2Coumarin and Coumarin Derivatives The soybean oil present in KABIVEN has vitamin K 1 . Vitamin K 1 can reverse the anticoagulant activity of coumarin and coumarin derivatives, including warfarin, which work by blocking recycling of vitamin K 1 . Monitor laboratory parameters for anticoagulant activity in patients who are on both KABIVEN and coumarin or coumarin derivatives.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary The limited available data on the use of KABIVEN in pregnant women are not sufficient to inform a drug-associated risk. However, there are clinical considerations if KABIVEN is used in pregnant women [see Clinical Considerations ]. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with KABIVEN.
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population are unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryofetal Risk Severe malnutrition in a pregnant woman is associated with preterm delivery, low birth weight, intrauterine growth restriction, congenital malformations and perinatal mortality.
Parenteral nutrition should be considered if a pregnant woman's nutritional requirements cannot be fulfilled by oral or enteral intake.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data available to assess the presence of KABIVEN and/or its active metabolite(s) in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for KABIVEN, and any potential adverse effects of KABIVEN on the breastfed child or from the underlying maternal condition.
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of KABIVEN has not been established in pediatric patients of any age. In the postmarketing setting, clinical decompensation with rapid infusion of intravenous lipid emulsion in neonates and infants, sometimes fatal has been reported [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Patients, particularly preterm infants, are at risk for aluminum toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.13 )] .
Deaths have occurred in neonates (28 days of age or younger) who received concomitant intravenous calcium-containing solutions with ceftriaxone resulting from calcium-ceftriaxone precipitates in the lungs and kidneys, even when separate infusion lines were used. [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] . KABIVEN is not recommended for use in pediatric patients under the age of two years, including preterm infants, as the fixed content of the formulation does not meet the nutritional requirements of this age group due to the following reasons: 1.
Calcium and dextrose needs are not met and lipids, protein and magnesium exceed requirements. 2. The product does not contain the amino acids cysteine and taurine, considered conditionally essential for neonates and infants.
Patients, including pediatric patients, may be at risk for PNALD [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . Newborns – especially those born premature and with low birth weight – are at increased risk of developing hypo – or hyperglycemia and therefore need close monitoring during treatment with intravenous dextrose solutions to ensure adequate glycemic control in order to avoid potential long term adverse effects. Hypoglycemia in the newborn can cause prolonged seizures, coma and brain damage.
Hyperglycemia has been associated with intraventricular hemorrhage, late onset bacterial and fungal infection, retinopathy of prematurity, necrotizing enterocolitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, prolonged length of hospital stay, and death.
8.5Geriatric Use Clinical studies of KABIVEN did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from other younger patients. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients.

🤰 Pregnancy ▾
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary The limited available data on the use of KABIVEN in pregnant women are not sufficient to inform a drug-associated risk. However, there are clinical considerations if KABIVEN is used in pregnant women [see Clinical Considerations ]. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with KABIVEN.
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population are unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryofetal Risk Severe malnutrition in a pregnant woman is associated with preterm delivery, low birth weight, intrauterine growth restriction, congenital malformations and perinatal mortality.
Parenteral nutrition should be considered if a pregnant woman's nutritional requirements cannot be fulfilled by oral or enteral intake.
🧒 Pediatric Use ▾
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of KABIVEN has not been established in pediatric patients of any age. In the postmarketing setting, clinical decompensation with rapid infusion of intravenous lipid emulsion in neonates and infants, sometimes fatal has been reported [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Patients, particularly preterm infants, are at risk for aluminum toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.13 )] .
Deaths have occurred in neonates (28 days of age or younger) who received concomitant intravenous calcium-containing solutions with ceftriaxone resulting from calcium-ceftriaxone precipitates in the lungs and kidneys, even when separate infusion lines were used. [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] . KABIVEN is not recommended for use in pediatric patients under the age of two years, including preterm infants, as the fixed content of the formulation does not meet the nutritional requirements of this age group due to the following reasons: 1.
Calcium and dextrose needs are not met and lipids, protein and magnesium exceed requirements. 2. The product does not contain the amino acids cysteine and taurine, considered conditionally essential for neonates and infants.
Patients, including pediatric patients, may be at risk for PNALD [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . Newborns – especially those born premature and with low birth weight – are at increased risk of developing hypo – or hyperglycemia and therefore need close monitoring during treatment with intravenous dextrose solutions to ensure adequate glycemic control in order to avoid potential long term adverse effects. Hypoglycemia in the newborn can cause prolonged seizures, coma and brain damage.
Hyperglycemia has been associated with intraventricular hemorrhage, late onset bacterial and fungal infection, retinopathy of prematurity, necrotizing enterocolitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, prolonged length of hospital stay, and death.

Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or drug therapy.
🆘 Overdosage ▾
10 OVERDOSAGE In the event of overdose, serious adverse reactions may result [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 , 5.7 )] . Stop the infusion of KABIVEN to allow lipids to clear from serum. The effects are usually reversible after the lipid infusion is stopped. If medically appropriate, further intervention may be indicated. The lipid administered and fatty acids produced are not dialyzable.
🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action KABIVEN is used as a supplement or as the sole source of nutrition in patients, providing macronutrients (amino acids, dextrose and lipids) and micronutrients (electrolytes) parenterally. The amino acids provide the structural units that make up proteins and are used to synthesize proteins and other biomolecules or are oxidized to urea and carbon dioxide as a source of energy. The administered dextrose is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water, yielding energy.
Intravenously administered lipids provide a biologically utilizable source of calories and essential fatty acids. Fatty acids serve as an important substrate for energy production. The most common mechanism of action for energy derived from fatty acid metabolism is beta- oxidation.
Fatty acids are important for membrane structure and function, precursors for bioactive molecules (such as prostaglandins), and as regulators of gene expression.
12.3Pharmacokinetics The infused lipid particles provided by KABIVEN are expected to be cleared from the blood stream in a manner thought to be comparable to the clearing of chylomicrons. In healthy volunteers, the maximum clearance rate of the triglycerides after fasting overnight has been found to be 3.8 ± 1.5 g/kg per 24 hours. Both elimination and oxidation rates are dependent on the patient's clinical condition; elimination is faster and utilization is increased in postoperative patients, in sepsis, burns and trauma, while patients with renal impairment and hypertriglyceridemia may show lower utilization of exogenous lipid emulsions.
Due to differences in elimination, patients with these conditions should be closely monitored during KABIVEN administration [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.12 , 5.13 )] . The disposition of infused amino acids, dextrose and electrolytes are essentially the same as those supplied by ordinary food. A clinical study in healthy volunteers employing high intravenous doses (80 mmol) of either sodium glycerophosphate used in KABIVEN or reference, inorganic sodium phosphate demonstrated that both compounds resulted in comparable serum inorganic phosphate concentrations after a single intravenous dose.
Changes from baseline in the serum levels of sodium, potassium and total calcium were comparable across the two phosphate sources in this study.
