What is Omegaven?

Omegaven is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC. Omegaven is a fat emulsion used as a source of calories and fatty acid supplementation in pediatric patients with parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC) and where oral or enteral nutrition is not possible, inadequate, or not recommended. Fish is a high-protein nutrient food source that is also a source of two long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).

Omegaven is not recommended for the prevention of PNAC. It has not been proven that the outcomes seen in patients treated with Omegaven are a result of the omega-6:omega-3 fatty acid ratio of the product.

What doses of Omegaven are available?

Omegaven is available as an injectable emulsion, in the following doses: 5 g/50 mL and 10 g/100 mL in a single-dose bottle.

Omegaven is for intravenous infusion only. When given with dextrose and/or amino acids, solutions with an osmolarity of 900 mOsm/L or higher must be infused through a central line. Before administration, correct severe fluid and electrolyte disorders and measure serum triglycerides to find a baseline level.

Initiate dosing in PN-dependent pediatric patients as soon as direct or conjugated bilirubin levels are 2 mg/dL or greater. The recommended daily dose in pediatric patients is 1 g/kg/day.

Always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Omegaven side effects

The most common side effects of Omegaven in clinical trials include:

• Vomiting
• Agitation
• Bradycardia
• Apnea
• Viral infection

In rare instances, Omegaven can cause more serious side effects. These can include:

• Risk of death in preterm infants due to pulmonary lipid accumulation after infusion of intravenous soybean oil-based lipid emulsions. Monitor for signs and symptoms of pleural or pericardial effusion

• Hypersensitivity reactions
• Risk of infections, fat overload syndrome, refeeding syndrome, and hypertriglyceridemia
• Aluminum toxicity increased in patients with renal impairment, including preterm infants. Monitor for essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD)
• Intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) or parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD) – Premature neonates may be at increased risk due to a reduced ability to clear intravenous lipid emulsions and an increase in free fatty acid plasma concentrations after administration. Monitor liver function

Postmarketing, life-threatening hemorrhage after a central venous catheter change was reported in a 9-month-old with intestinal failure who had received parenteral nutrition with Omegaven.

Your doctor will assess the benefits of using Omegaven against your risk of side effects. Patients are encouraged to report negative side effects or adverse reactions to Omegaven to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
