Overdose leading to fat overload syndrome may occur as a result of a too rapid infusion rate, or chronically at recommended rates of infusion in association with a change in the patients clinical conditions e.g. renal function impairment or infection.
Overdosage may lead to side effects (see Fat overload syndrome under Adverse Reactions). In these cases, the lipid infusion should be stopped, or if necessary, continued at a reduced dosage.
