How Intralipid 20% works in the bodySoybean oil-based lipid emulsion is used for energy production. It breaks down into free fatty acids that can be used for energy and regulate gene expression. It also helps maintain a healthy liver by preventing triacylglycerol from accumulating, and regulating the production and breakdown of lipids. It can also help keep drug oxidation capabilities and antioxidant enzyme levels in the body steady.

Intralipid 20% Toxicity & Overdose RiskTaking lipid emulsions may lead to side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and muscle spasms. It can also cause allergic reactions or increase the risk of infection if they are administered through a catheter. Rarely, it may lead to a condition called fat overload syndrome, where the body is unable to metabolize the fats quickly. It can also cause problems with blood cells, liver function, and the nervous system. Premature and small babies may have trouble clearing the fats, which can accumulate in their lungs. It is advised not to take more than 0.75 mL/kg/hour.
