Comparison of Intralipid 10% and Intralipid 20% as a source of energy and essential fatty acids--a multicenter study.

A multicenter clinical study was done which directly compared efficacy and safety of Intralipid 10% and Intralipid 20%. Twenty-nine patients received the 10% concentration, 30 patients received the 20% concentration. Both groups of patients received equivalent amounts of calories, amino acids, dextrose and fat for seven day study periods. Analysis of nitrogen balance data showed that the two preparations were equally effective in maintaining nitrogen balance. Both concentrations of fat emulsion were effective in reversing or correcting the changes of essential fatty acid deficiency. Analysis of clinical laboratory data indicated that both preparations were equally well tolerated by the patients. No adverse effects attributed to the fat emulsions were observed.

Comparison of the taste and acceptance of three potassium chloride preparations.

The palatability and acceptance of three commercially available potassium chloride solutions were evaluated. Adult ambulatory patients routinely self-administering potassium chloride solution rate the palatability and acceptance of each preparation. An open-label, three-treatment crossover study design was used. The taste of Klorvess was rated significantly more palatable than Kaochlor (p less than 0.01) or KayCiel (p less than 0.05). Klorvess was rated significantly more acceptable if taken over a long period of time than Kaochlor (p less than 0.01) or KayCiel (p less than 0.01). The average amount consumed of all three products was 57% of the prescribed amount. The amount of Klorvess returned was significantly less than the amount of either KayCiel (p less than 0.01) or Kaochlor (p less than 0.01). The flavoring agents are described and the importance of ensuring that the patient uses an accurate measuring spoon is discussed.
