Multivitamin & Multimineral [A-Z junior infusion preparation]
Indications
A-Z junior infusion, a multivitamin and multimineral preparation, is given as a daily maintenance dose of multivitamins for infants and children up to 11 years of age who are receiving parenteral nutrition. Doctors also use it in other situations where the intravenous route is needed. These include surgery, extensive burns, fractures and other trauma, severe infectious diseases and comatose states. Any of these can put the body under stress, with profound changes in its metabolic demands and, as a result, depletion of nutrients in the tissues.
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
