Multivitamin

Multi-vitamin & Multi-mineral combined preparations Prescription

Indications

Multivitamin is given as a daily maintenance dose for adults and for children aged 11 years and above who are receiving parenteral nutrition. It is also used in other situations where the medicine has to be given by the intravenous route. These include surgery, extensive burns, fractures and other trauma, severe infectious diseases and comatose states. Any of these can bring on a "stress" situation, where the body's metabolic demands change a great deal and the tissues become depleted of nutrients as a result.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

No studies have looked at how this multivitamin preparation affects human pregnancy. A pregnant woman should be given it only if it is clearly needed. For women who are breastfeeding, the preparation is not recommended.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: Adults and children aged 11 years and above take 1 vial a day. To prepare it, add 5 ml of sterile Water for injection, or another intravenous fluid such as 0.9% Sodium Chloride injection or 5% Glucose injection, to the single dose vial. Use a sterile syringe to add the 5 ml of diluent, 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. To keep vitamin losses low in parenteral nutrition admixtures, add the vitamins just before administration and finish giving it within 24 hours.
