Intralipid Infusions.
Intralipid infusions delivered according to your specialist’s treatment plan.
What are intralipid infusions?
Intralipid is an intravenous fat emulsion. At RapidAccess Medical Infusions, it is administered when prescribed by a fertility specialist as part of your individual treatment plan.
Your prescribed treatment is delivered in an outpatient clinic, with nursing support and monitoring throughout your appointment.
How does intralipid fit into fertility care?
Your fertility specialist will discuss whether intralipid is suitable for you and prescribe the dose and timing. Our team then coordinates your infusion with their treatment plan.
- A referral, prescription and treatment plan from your specialist.
- Appointment timing aligned with your specialist’s instructions.
- Review by our clinical team before your infusion is confirmed.
There is not enough reliable evidence to show that intralipid improves the chance of having a baby. Before proceeding, discuss the potential benefits, risks, alternatives and costs with your fertility specialist.
