Active substance: soya bean oil, refined, medium-chain triglycerides, omega-3-acid triglycerides
Braun Melsungen AG informs about agglomerates consisting of droplet-like structures that have been detected in individual batches of the medicinal product. These structures are composed of components of the emulsion and may form during shelf life. Therefore, the emulsion for infusion must be administered using a filter for lipid emulsions. If this is not possible, Lipidem Emulsion should not be used for longer than 12 months, i.e. 1 year less than stated on the packaging.
