structured lipid emulsion + amino acids + glucose

Lecavin is a three-chamber bag (3CB) parenteral nutrition formulation developed by Huarui Pharmaceutical (a Fresenius Kabi joint venture) for the Chinese market. It contains a structured lipid emulsion, amino acids, and glucose in separate compartments that are mixed immediately prior to intravenous infusion. The structured lipid component is a randomized triglyceride mixture of long-chain (LCT) and medium-chain (MCT) fatty acids, designed to provide a balanced energy source with improved metabolic clearance compared to traditional LCT emulsions. Lecavin is intended for total parenteral nutrition in adult patients, particularly those recovering from moderate to major abdominal surgery, to support protein synthesis, maintain nitrogen balance, and provide essential energy when enteral nutrition is inadequate or contraindicated.
