Full prescribing information FDA SPL
🎯 Indications and Usage ▾
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Intralipid ® is indicated as a source of calories and essential fatty acids for adult and pediatric patients requiring parenteral nutrition (PN) and as a source of essential fatty acids for prevention of essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD). Intralipid is indicated as a source of calories and essential fatty acids for adult and pediatric patients requiring parenteral nutrition (PN) and as a source of essential fatty acids for prevention of essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD).
⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • For intravenous infusion into a peripheral or central vein. ( 2.1 ) • Intralipid Pharmacy Bulk Package is only indicated for use in pharmacy admixture program for the preparation of three-in-one or total nutrition admixtures (TNAs). ( 2.2 ) • Protect the admixed PN solution from light.
( 2.2 , 16 ) • Recommended dosage depends on age, energy expenditure, clinical status, body weight, tolerance, ability to metabolize and eliminate lipids, and consideration of additional energy given to the patient. ( 2.3 ) Age Nutritional Requirements Initial Recommended Dosage Maximum Dosage Birth to 2 years of age (including preterm and term neonates) 0.5 g/kg/day 3 g/kg/day Pediatric patients 2 to <12 years of age 1 to 2 g/kg/day 2.5 g/kg/day Pediatric patients 12 to 17 years of age 1 g/kg/day 2 g/kg/day Adults 1 g/kg/day (stable) ≤1 g/kg/day (critically ill) 2.5 g/kg/day
2.1Important Administration Instructions • Intralipid is prepared and administered by a healthcare provider in the inpatient setting. Patients and caregivers may prepare and administer Intralipid for home use after appropriate training by a trained healthcare provider. • Intralipid is for intravenous infusion into a central or peripheral vein. • Do not exceed the recommended maximum infusion rate in Table 1 [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 ) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. • Intralipid admixtures with osmolarity o Greater than or equal to 900 mOsm/L must be infused through a central vein. o Less than 900 mOsm/L may be administered either through a central or peripheral vein. • Use a 1.2 micron in-line filter during administration. • Use a dedicated infusion line without any connections.
Do not connect multiple medications in series. • To prevent air embolism, use a non-vented infusion set or close the vent on a vented set and fully evacuate residual gas in the bag prior to administration. • Do not pressurize the flexible bag to increase flow rates, and if administration is controlled by a pumping device, turn off the pump before the bag runs dry. • Do not use infusion sets and lines that contain di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), including infusion sets that contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC) components, because they contain DEHP as a plasticizer. • Intralipid can be infused concurrently into the same vein as dextrose-amino acid solutions (as part of PN) by a Y-connector located near the infusion site; flow rates of each solution should be controlled separately by infusion pumps. • After connecting the infusion set, start infusion of Intralipid immediately.
Complete the infusion within 12 hours when using a Y-connector and within 24 hours when used as part of an admixture.
2.2Preparation Instructions Use the following instructions to prepare single-dose 100 mL, 250 mL, and 500 mL Flexible containers for administration: 1. Inspect Bag • Inspect the integrity indicator (Oxalert ® ) (A) before removing the overpouch. • Discard the product if the indicator is black, overpouch is opened or damaged, emulsion color is not white, or seals of bag are broken. 2.
Remove Overpouch • Place the bag on a clean, flat surface. • Tear the overpouch at notch and pull down. • Discard the Oxalert sachet (A) and the oxygen absorber (B). • Visually inspect the bag and contents for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. The lipid emulsion should be a homogenous liquid with a milky white appearance. If the mixture is not white or the emulsion has separated (noted by discoloration, phase separation, or oily droplets), or if particulates and/or leakage are observed, discard the bag.
3. Spike Bag • Identify the infusion port ( blue cap with the arrow pointing away from the bag). • Immediately before inserting the infusion set, break off the blue infusion port cap. • Use infusion sets according to ISO Number 8536-4 with an external spike diameter of 5.5 to 5.7 mm and use a non-vented infusion set or close the air-inlet on a vented set. • Us… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

( 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. ( 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. Strictly adhere to the recommended total daily dosage; the hourly infusion rate should not exceed 0.75 mL/kg/hour [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )].
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 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 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. In postmarketing experience, anaphylaxis has been reported following Intralipid administration [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )].
Intralipid is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to egg, soybean, peanut or any of the active or inactive ingredients in Intralipid [se… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]
🤒 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.

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 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.
The safety database for Intralipid or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion exposure in these studies includes 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.

In patients who receive concomitant Intralipid and warfarin, increase monitoring of laboratory parameters for anticoagulant activity. Vitamin K Antagonists (e.g., warfarin) : Anticoagulant activity may be counteracted; increase monitoring of coagulation parameters. ( 7 )
👥 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.

If medically appropriate, further intervention may be indicated. Lipids are not dialyzable from plasma.
🧬 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. The lipid content of Intralipid is 0.2 g/mL and comprises soybean oil. The phosphate content is 15 mmol/L.
The total energy content, including fat, phospholipids, and glycerin is 2,000 kcal/L. Each 100 mL of Intralipid contains approximately 20 g soybean oil, 1.2 g egg yolk phospholipids, 2.25 g glycerin, water for injection, and sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment (pH 6 to 8.9). Intralipid has an osmolality of approximately 350 mOsmol/kg water (which represents an osmolarity of 260 mOsmoL/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: 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.
The container is not made with natural rubber latex, PVC, or DEHP. intra-struc-01.jpg intra-struc-02.jpg intra-struc-03.jpg intra-struc-04.jpg intra-struc-05.jpg intra-struc-06.jpg intra-struc-07.jpg

🧬 Pharmacokinetics ▾
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.
🧬 Pharmacodynamics ▾
12.2Pharmacodynamics The pharmacodynamic effects of Intralipid have not been fully characterized.
🔬 Clinical Studies ▾
14 CLINICAL STUDIES Intralipid or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion functioned as the comparator for the 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion in the clinical studies described in sections 14.1 and 14.2 . The trial results are included to present the clinical experience with Intralipid.
14.1Adult Clinical Studies The efficacy of Intralipid or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion compared to a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion was evaluated in 3 clinical studies in adult patients. Nutritional efficacy in adult studies was assessed by changes in anthropometric indices (body weight, height, and body mass index [BMI]), changes in lipid and protein metabolism (albumin), and fatty acid parameters. Of the 354 adult patients (178 Intralipid; 176 comparator), 62% were male, 99% were Caucasian, and ages ranged from 19 to 96 years.
All patients received Intralipid/equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion or the comparator as part of a PN regimen. Although Adult Study 1, Adult Study 2, and Adult Study 3 were not designed for formal statistical comparisons between Intralipid/equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion and the comparator, they support Intralipid as a source of calories and essential fatty acids in adults. The lipid dosage was variable in these studies and adjusted to the patient's nutritional requirements.
Adult Study 1 was a double-blind, randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study in patients who required PN for at least 28 days. Seventy-five patients were enrolled, and 73 patients were treated with either Intralipid or the comparator. Changes in mean triglyceride levels from baseline values to Week 4 were similar in both the Intralipid and comparator groups.
Mean albumin levels demonstrated a comparable decrease in both groups. Mean changes in body weight (kg) and BMI (kg/m2) were similar in both the Intralipid and the comparator groups. Adult Study 2 was a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, multicenter study.
A total of 249 postoperative adult patients were randomized to receive either an equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion to Intralipid or the comparator for at least 5 days as part of their total parenteral nutrition (TPN) regimen. From baseline to Day 6, mean triglyceride levels increased similarly in both the soybean oil lipid emulsion and the comparator groups. Adult Study 3 was a double-blind randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group, single-center study in 32 adult patients who required TPN for 10 to 14 days.
Patients were treated with either an equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion to Intralipid or the comparator. The increase in mean triglyceride levels from baseline to the final assessment was similar in both the soybean oil lipid emulsion and the comparator groups.
14.2Pediatric Clinical Studies The efficacy of Intralipid compared to a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion in pediatric patients of all age groups, including term and preterm neonates, was evaluated in 333 patients in 4 randomized active-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group controlled clinical studies. Although Pediatric Studies 1, 2, 3, and 4 were not designed for formal statistical comparisons between Intralipid and the comparator, they support Intralipid as a source of calories and essential fatty acids in pediatric patients.
The 333 pediatric patients (163 Intralipid; 170 comparator) consisted of 296 patients who were <28 days old, 22 patients 29 days to <2 years old, and 15 patients 2 to <12 years old. Fifty percent of the pediatric patients were male and 87% were Caucasian. All patients received Intralipid or the comparator as part of a PN regimen.
Nutritional efficacy in neonates was assessed by changes in anthropometric indices (body weight, height, head circumference). Nutritional efficacy in pediatric patients, 28 days to 12 years of age, was assessed by changes in triglyceride concentrations and fatty acid parameters. Pediatric Study 1 enrolled 152 preterm and term neonates (birth up to 28 days) and 9 patients rangin… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]
