Adults:
Adults and children aged 11 years and above: 1 vial/day. The single dose vial of this preparation is reconstituted by adding 5 ml of sterile Water for injection or other intravenous fluids like 0.9% Sodium Chloride injection or 5% Glucose injection. 5 ml of diluent should be added by means of sterile syringe into the vial and gently mixed to dissolve the lyophilized powder. The entire volume of the resultant solution should then be administered by slow Intravenous injection (at least over 10 minutes) or further diluted for intravenous infusion. To minimize vitamin losses in parenteral nutrition admixtures, add the vitamins immediately prior to administration and complete administration within 24 hours.
Side Effects
Anaphylactic reactions have been reported following large intravenous doses of Thiamine. Urticaria and rash have also been associated with Zovia N. There have been very rare reports of anaphylactic reactions following IV injection/infusion with Zovia N over 1-4 minutes.
Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Anaphylactic reactions may occur in allergic subjects who are susceptible to Thiamine (Vitamin B1) and nicotinamide components of Zovia N. Mild allergic reactions such as sneezing or mild asthma are warning signs that further injection/infusion may give rise to anaphylactic shock. Due to glychocolic acid content, repeated and prolonged administration in patients with jaundice of hepatic origin or severe biochemical evidence of cholestatis requires careful monitoring of liver function. Also in the case of impaired kidney function, fat-soluble vitamin levels should be carefully monitored.
Contraindications
This is contraindicated in patients with pre-existing hypervitaminosis or known hypersensitivity to any of the active ingredients. This product should not be injected to patients with pre-existing intolerance to thiamine. Similarly, this product should not be administered to patients with impaired hepatic function. This preparation should not be administered to those suffering from hyperparathyroidism due to hypercalcaemic complications.
