Indications

Vitamin Deficiency

This multivitamin preparation, containing both water soluble and fat soluble vitamins, is given as a daily maintenance dose for adults and children aged 11 years and above who are receiving parenteral nutrition. It's 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 provoke a "stress" situation, where the body's metabolic demands change profoundly and the tissues are left depleted of nutrients.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

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.

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.

⚠️ 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 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.
