Medium and Long Chain Fat Emulsion/Amino Acid (16) Glucose (16%) Injection is a specialized parenteral nutrition solution designed to provide essential nutrients to patients who are unable to consume adequate nutrients orally or enterally. This intravenous formulation combines medium and long-chain triglycerides (MCT/LCT) fat emulsion, amino acids, and glucose to meet the nutritional needs of patients requiring parenteral nutrition support.
Indications:
Medium and Long Chain Fat Emulsion/Amino Acid (16) Glucose (16%) Injection is indicated for:
Parenteral nutrition support: It is used to provide total parenteral nutrition (TPN) to patients who are unable to tolerate oral or enteral feeding, such as those with severe gastrointestinal dysfunction, malabsorption syndromes, or intractable vomiting.
Nutritional supplementation: It may also be used as a supplement to meet the nutritional needs of patients who have increased nutrient requirements due to metabolic stress, surgery, trauma, or critical illness.
Administration and Dosage:
Medium and Long Chain Fat Emulsion/Amino Acid (16) Glucose (16%) Injection is administered intravenously through a central venous catheter or a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) to ensure proper delivery and minimize the risk of complications such as phlebitis or thrombosis. The infusion rate and duration of therapy are determined by the healthcare provider based on the patient's nutritional status, metabolic needs, and clinical response.
