Active Comparator
Smoflipid
Intralipid, 20%
Smoflipid is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, white, homogenous lipid emulsion for intravenous infusion. The lipid content of Smoflipid is 0.20 g/mL, and comprises a mixture of soybean oil, medium chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil. Smoflipid is indicated as a source of calories and essential fatty acids for parenteral nutrition when oral or enteral nutrition is not possible, insufficient, or contraindicated. The mean essential fatty acid content of Smoflipid is 35 mg/mL linoleic acid (omega-6) and 4.5 mg/mL α-linolenic acid (omega-3).
Intralipid 20% is a sterile, non-pyrogenic fat emulsion intended as a source of calories and essential fatty acids. Intralipid 20% is indicated as a source of calories and essential fatty acids for patients requiring parenteral nutrition for extended periods of time and as a source of essential fatty acids for prevention of essential fatty acid deficiency. The major component fatty acids are linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, α-linolenic acid and stearic acid.
