Indications & Uses
Multivitamin (water soluble) with Normal Saline is given as a supplement in intravenous nutrition. It helps meet the daily requirement of water-soluble vitamins in patients who are dehydrated.
Pharmacology
Multivitamin [water soluble] + Normal Saline is a sterile, freeze-dried (lyophilized) powder of water-soluble vitamins, made up for infusion. It has all the important water-soluble vitamins in balanced amounts. These vitamins work as coenzymes for enzymes that are needed in key physiological processes, in energy metabolism, and in cell growth and replenishment, especially in brain and nerve cells. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant and helps in collagen formation. Because the combination is given intravenously, it acts promptly.
