( 4 , 5.7 )
⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Risk of 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. When Intralipid 30% is diluted to 20%, strictly adhere to the recommended total daily dosage; the hourly infusion rate should not exceed 0.125 g/kg/hour for neonates and infants. ( 5.1 , 8.4 ) • Risk of Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease (PNALD): Increased risk in patients who receive PN for extended periods of time, especially preterm neonates.
Monitor liver function tests; if abnormalities occur consider discontinuation or dosage reduction. ( 5.2 , 6.1 , 8.4 ) • Hypersensitivity Reactions: Monitor for signs or symptoms. Discontinue infusion if reactions occur.
( 5.3 ) • Risk of Infections, Fat Overload Syndrome, Refeeding Syndrome, and Hypertriglyceridemia: Monitor for signs and symptoms; monitor laboratory parameters. ( 5.4 , 5.5 , 5.6 , 5.7 ) • Aluminum Toxicity: Increased risk in patients with renal impairment, including preterm neonates. ( 5.8 , 8.4 )
5.1Clinical Decompensation with Rapid Infusion of Intravenous Lipid Emulsions 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. Intralipid 30% Pharmacy Bulk Package is not intended for direct infusion.
When it is diluted to 20%, strictly adhere to the recommended total daily dosage; the hourly infusion rate should not exceed 0.125 g/kg/hour. 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. Carefully monitor the infant's ability to eliminate the infused lipids from the circulation (e.g., measure serum triglycerides and/or plasma free fatty acid levels).
If signs or poor clearance of lipids from the circulation occur, stop the infusion and initiate a medical evaluation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 , 5.7 ) and Overdosage ( 10 )].
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, including Intralipid, 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 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 admixtures containing Intralipid 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 admixtures containing Intralipid. Patients developing signs of hepatobiliary disorders should be assessed early to determine whether these conditions are related to Intralipid use.
5.3Hypersensitivity Reactions Intralipid contains soybean oil and egg phospholipids, which may cause hypersensitivity reactions. Cross reactions have been observed between soybean and peanut.…
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Adverse reactions described elsewhere in this Prescribing Information are: • 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 )] • Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] • Infections [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] • Fat Overload Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] • Refeeding Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] • Hypertriglyceridemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] • Aluminum Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )] Most common adverse drug reactions (≥5%) from clinical trials in adults were nausea, vomiting, and pyrexia.
Most common adverse drug reactions (≥5%) from clinical trials in pediatric patients were anemia, vomiting, increased gamma-glutamyltransferase, and cholestasis. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC at 1-800-551-7176 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
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 compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. Intralipid 20% or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsions functioned as the comparator in trials of the 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )]. The adverse reactions from these studies are included to present the clinical experience with Intralipid because Intralipid 30% is to be diluted down to 20% or lower for PN admixture.
The safety database for Intralipid or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion exposure in these studies include 393 patients (230 adults; 163 pediatric) in 9 clinical trials. Adult patients were exposed for 5 days to 4 weeks in 5 clinical trials. Intralipid or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion was used as a component of PN which also included dextrose, amino acids, vitamins, and trace elements.
Two of the 5 studies in adults were performed with Intralipid as a component of PN delivered in a 3-chamber bag.

👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Administration of the recommended dose of Intralipid is not expected to cause major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. No animal reproduction studies have been conducted with Intralipid. There are risks to the fetus associated with severe malnutrition during pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations ) .
The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population(s) is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. 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 Embryo-Fetal Risk Severe malnutrition in pregnant women is associated with preterm delivery, low birth weight, intrauterine growth restriction, congenital malformations, and perinatal mortality. Parenteral nutrition should be considered if the pregnant woman's nutritional requirements cannot be fulfilled by oral or enteral intake.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary Administration of the recommended dose of Intralipid is not expected to cause harm to a breastfed infant. There are no data on the presence of Intralipid in human or animal milk or its effects on milk production. Available published literature includes fewer than five reported cases of breastfed infants exposed to various lipid emulsions via lactation, and these cases did not report adverse events.
The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for Intralipid and any potential adverse effects of Intralipid on the breastfed infant, or from the underlying maternal condition.
8.4Pediatric Use Intralipid is contraindicated in pediatric patients with severe disorders of lipid metabolism [ (see Contraindications ( 4 )]. The safety and effectiveness of Intralipid have been established as a source of calories and essential fatty acids for PN in pediatric patients, including term and preterm neonates. Use of Intralipid in neonates is supported by evidence from short-term (i.e., 1- to 4- week) studies, and one study following neonates beyond 4 weeks [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] .
Use of Intralipid in older pediatric patients is supported by evidence from short-term (i.e., <28 days) studies in pediatric patients 28 days to 12 years of age and additional evidence from studies in adults [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . The most common adverse reactions in Intralipid-treated pediatric patients were anemia, vomiting, gamma-glutamyltransferase increased, and cholestasis. PNAC, a precursor to PNALD, developed more frequently in Intralipid-treated patients than in patients treated with a comparator 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) and Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] .
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 )] . Because of immature renal function, preterm neonates receiving prolonged treatment with Intralipid may be at risk for aluminum toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )] .
8.5Geriatric Use 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.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Intralipid provides 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 production derived from fatty acid metabolism is beta oxidation.
Fatty acids are also important for membrane structure and function, as precursors for bioactive molecules (such as prostaglandins), and as regulators of gene expression.
12.2Pharmacodynamics The pharmacodynamic effects of Intralipid have not been fully characterized.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Intralipid provides fatty acids in the form of triglycerides which are hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase to release free fatty acids. Linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid are metabolized within a common biochemical pathway through a series of desaturation and elongation steps.

📋 Description ▾
11 DESCRIPTION Intralipid is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, white, homogenous lipid emulsion for intravenous infusion as a source of calories and essential fatty acids for use in a pharmacy admixture program. The lipid content of Intralipid 30% Pharmacy Bulk Package is 0.3 g/mL and comprises soybean oil. The phosphate content is 15 mmol/L.
The total energy content, including fat, phospholipids, and glycerin is 3,000 kcal/L. Each 100 mL of Intralipid contains approximately 30 g soybean oil, 1.2 g egg yolk phospholipids, 1.7 g glycerin, water for injection, and sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment (pH 6 to 8.9). Intralipid has an osmolality of approximately 310 mOsm/kg water (which represents an osmolarity of 200 mOsm/L).
The soybean oil is a refined natural product consisting of a mixture of neutral triglycerides of predominantly unsaturated fatty acids with the following structure: where are saturated and unsaturated fatty acid residues. The major component fatty acids in Intralipid are linoleic acid (44% to 62%), oleic acid (19% to 30%), palmitic acid (7% to 14%), alpha-linolenic acid (4% to 11%), and stearic acid (1.4% to 5.5%). These fatty acids have the following chemical and structural formulas: Linoleic Acid C 18 H 32 O 2 Oleic Acid C 18 H 34 O 2 Palmitic Acid C 16 H 32 O 2 α-Linolenic Acid C 18 H 30 O 2 Stearic Acid C 18 H 36 O 2 Purified egg phosphatides are a mixture of naturally occurring phospholipids which are isolated from the egg yolk.
These phospholipids have the following general structure: contain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids that abound in neutral fats. R 3 is primarily either the choline or ethanolamine ester of phosphoric acid. Glycerin is chemically designated C 3 H 8 O 3 and is a clear colorless, hygroscopic syrupy liquid.
It has the following structural formula: The container-solution unit is a closed system and is not dependent upon entry of external air during administration. The container is overwrapped to provide protection from the physical environment and to provide an additional oxygen and moisture barrier when necessary. Intralipid contains no more than 25 mcg/L of aluminum.
