A medical product and parenteral formulation are provided. The parenteral
formulation is preferably for fluid restricted patients such as pediatric
patients and can include amino acids, lipids, carbohydrates and
electrolytes. The parenteral formulation can be housed in a multi-chamber
container for separately storing a amino acid component, a lipid
component and a carbohydrate component to provide a medical product.
Frangible barriers preferably peelable seals separate the components and
allow for admix to form a just prior to administration. Electrolytes can
also be included in one or both of the carbohydrate and amino acid
components; preferably the electrolytes are included in the amino acid
component and the amino acid component includes cysteine. The
multi-chamber container preferably facilitates the selective activation
of the peelable seals to permit the admixing of less than all the
separately stored components. The medical product can include a
parenteral formulation for supplying the mean nutritional requirements
for separate patient populations, such as for preterm infants, term to
two year olds, and two to eighteen year olds.
