About Soybean Oil.

Soybean oil is an active ingredient and lipid substrate categorized under the pharmacologic class of lipid emulsions (or lipid injectable emulsions) rather than constituting a standalone therapeutic class.

Formulated as a sterile intravenous emulsion—either alone or in multi-oil mixtures—it functions primarily as a caloric agent and a direct source of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids, to support cellular energy production, cell membrane integrity, and vital prostaglandin synthesis.

Clinically, it is indicated for parenteral nutrition to prevent or treat essential fatty acid deficiency and to provide necessary caloric support in adult and pediatric patients for whom oral or enteral feeding is impossible, insufficient, or contraindicated due to critical illness, gastrointestinal tract failure, or major surgical interventions.
