At a glance

Glucose 19% + Vamin 18 Novum + Intralipid 20% is a parenteral nutrition solution used when oral or enteral nutrition is impossible or insufficient.

Description

Introduction: Glucose 19% + Vamin 18 Novum + Intralipid 20% is a parenteral nutrition solution indicated for patients and children above 2 years of age when oral or enteral nutrition is impossible, insufficient or contraindicated.

How it works: This solution provides glucose (energy source), amino acids (protein synthesis) and lipids (essential fatty acids). Phosphate is utilized for energy production, bone mineralization and DNA synthesis. Electrolytes help maintain fluid balance, nerve function and muscle function.

Important Information: Dose should be individualized based on patient's clinical condition, body weight and nutritional requirements. Infusion rate should not exceed 2.6 ml/kg/hour and should only be infused into a central vein.

Indications
  • Parenteral nutrition - when oral or enteral nutrition is impossible, insufficient or contraindicated
Therapeutic class

Parenteral nutritional preparations

Pharmacological class

Parenteral Nutrition Solution

Pharmacology

Phosphate is efficiently absorbed and utilized by the body for energy production via ATP, bone mineralization, cellular membrane function and DNA synthesis. Glucose serves as a primary source of quick energy. Amino acids support the synthesis of proteins for tissue repair, muscle growth, and immune function. Lipids provide essential fatty acids that are used in membrane synthesis and hormone production.

Mechanism of action

This parenteral nutrition solution delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream, providing glucose for energy, amino acids for protein synthesis and lipids for essential fatty acids.
