Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory obtains marketing approval of ENEFLUID Injection, nba スタッツ amino acid, glucose, electrolyte, fat, and water-soluble vitamin injection

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory, Inc. (Head Office: Naruto, Tokushima, Japan; President and Representative Director: Shinichi Ogasawara; "OPF") has obtained nba スタッツ marketing approval of "ENEFLUID_®Injection," nba スタッツ amino acid, glucose, electrolyte, fat, and water-soluble vitamin injection on September 25, 2020.

This product is nba スタッツ first peripheral parenteral nutrition solution in Japan that combines fat and water-soluble vitamins in addition to glucose, electrolytes, and amino acids in a dual-chamber bag. By compounding fat, more calories can be administered than nba スタッツ approved glucose, electrolyte, and amino acid infusions, and by compounding nine water-soluble vitamins (in accordance with nba スタッツ FDA 2000 formulation¹) required for peripheral parenteral nutrition, nutrition can be managed with a snba スタッツgle agent for approximately 1 to 2 weeks.

Peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN) is a nutritional method that provides water and nutrients via a peripheral vein and is widely implemented in various clinical departments. Glucose, electrolyte, and amino acid infusions, commonly used as representative peripheral parenteral nutrition solutions, have low calories to be used as nba スタッツ main source of nutrition for patients in nutritional management for approximately 2 weeks, which is generally an indication for PPN; nba スタッツrefore, an intravenous fat emulsion is used concomitantly as needed in medical practice.

However, nba スタッツ intravenous fat emulsion is a drug that requires caution in its use, as mixing it with onba スタッツr drugs is contraindicated in terms of concerns of compatibility and prevention of bacterial contamination. This product is a kit formulation that enables preparation of mixing various ingredients including fat aseptically by breaking nba スタッツ center seal before use. We hope that this product will be widely used as a product that reduces nba スタッツ burden on nba スタッツ healthcare setting.

OPF will continue to promote R&D to contribute to proper nutrition management and aim to be nba スタッツ best partner for patients and healthcare professionals in nba スタッツ field of clinical nutrition.

Based on nba スタッツ corporate philosophy of "Otsuka-people creating new products for better health worldwide," nba スタッツ Otsuka Group is dedicated to contributing to nba スタッツ health of people around nba スタッツ world.
