Intralipid

Intralipid is a special medicine that doctors give to people who need extra nutrition. It's like a special food made from soybean oil and other things that the body needs to stay healthy.

Imagine it's a special milkshake that doctors inject into your veins instead of drinking it from a cup.

It's like when you feel hungry and your mommy or daddy gives you a snack to eat so you feel better. Sometimes sick people can't eat regular food, so the doctors use Intralipid to give them the important things they need to get better.

It's important to remember that Intralipid is only given to people who need it, and it's not something that you can just have for fun.
