Abstract: With an emphasis on formulation stability, safety, and clinical compatibility, the current study sought to create and assess stable parenteral emulsions for critical care medicine. Three batches of emulsions were made using pharmaceutical-grade lipids, emulsifiers, and isotonic agents, and the results were compared to control formulations. During a 90-day storage period at 4 °C, 25 °C, and 40 °C, physicochemical parameters such as droplet size, zeta potential, pH, and osmolarity were measured. While statistical analyses (ANOVA and Levene's Test) confirmed reproducibility and consistency across batches, sterility and endotoxin testing guaranteed microbial safety. According to the results, emulsions kept at 4 °C exhibited the best stability, whereas emulsions kept at higher temperatures experienced mild or rapid destabilization. Endotoxin levels were within pharmacopeial limits, and all batches remained sterile. The feasibility of creating stable and safe parenteral emulsions that can be administered intravenously to critically ill patients is highlighted in the study, along with the significance of appropriate storage conditions in maintaining formulation integrity.
