Multivitamin [water soluble] + 5% Dextrose is given as a supplement through a drip into the vein. It covers the daily need for water-soluble vitamins in patients who are NPO (nothing by mouth) or who are having surgery.
Pharmacology
Multivitamin (water soluble) is an IV preparation. It comes as a sterile, lyophilized powder of water-soluble vitamins, and it is given by infusion. It holds a balanced amount of all the important water-soluble vitamins. These act as coenzymes of key enzymes linked to major physiological processes, energy metabolism, and cell growth and replenishment, especially in brain and nerve cells. Vitamin C works as an antioxidant and helps in collagen formation. Because this combination goes straight into a vein, it acts promptly.
