Pharmacology
This Multivitamin [water & fat soluble] + 5% Dextrose product is a sterile, freeze-dried (lyophilized) powder for injection or infusion. It contains nine water-soluble vitamins and three fat-soluble vitamins, and mixed micelles are used as the solubilizing agent.
The powder is orange-yellow in colour. Before it is given by the parenteral route, it must be reconstituted with 5 ml of Water for injections or with other parenteral fluids, such as 0.9% Sodium chloride or 5% Glucose solution.
Dosage Reference
Reference Information Only
Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.
Adults:
Adults and children aged 11 years and above take 1 vial a day of this Multivitamin [water and fat soluble] + 5% Dextrose preparation. Each vial is a single dose. To reconstitute it, add 5 ml of sterile Water for injection, or another intravenous fluid such as 0.9% Sodium Chloride injection or 5% Glucose injection. Use a sterile syringe to put the 5 ml of diluent into the vial, then mix gently until the lyophilized powder dissolves.
Give the whole volume of the resulting solution as a slow intravenous injection, over at least 10 minutes, or dilute it further for intravenous infusion. In parenteral nutrition admixtures, add the vitamins just before administration and finish giving them within 24 hours, so that vitamin losses stay as small as possible.
Side Effects
Anaphylactic reactions have been reported after large intravenous doses of thiamine. Urticaria and rash have also been linked with Multivitamin [water & fat soluble] + 5% Dextrose. Very rarely, anaphylactic reactions have followed an IV injection or infusion of Multivitamin [water & fat soluble] + 5% Dextrose given over 1 to 4 minutes.
Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Anaphylactic reactions can happen with Multivitamin [water & fat soluble] + 5% Dextrose in allergic people who are sensitive to the Thiamine (Vitamin B1) and nicotinamide components. Mild allergic reactions such as sneezing or mild asthma are warning signs, because further injection or infusion may lead to anaphylactic shock. The preparation contains glychocolic acid, so if a patient has jaundice of hepatic origin or severe biochemical evidence of cholestatis, repeated and prolonged administration needs careful monitoring of liver function. Fat-soluble vitamin levels should also be monitored carefully when kidney function is impaired.
Contraindications
Don't give this multivitamin injection to anyone who already has hypervitaminosis or a known allergy to any of its ingredients. It should also not be injected in patients who are already intolerant to thiamine. Patients with impaired liver function should not receive it either. The same applies to people with hyperparathyroidism, because of the risk of hypercalcaemic complications.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Nobody has studied this preparation in pregnant women, so its effect in human pregnancy is not known. A pregnant woman should be given it only if it is clearly needed. It is not recommended for women who are breastfeeding.
