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.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

No animal reproduction studies or clinical investigations in pregnancy have been carried out with this Multivitamin [water soluble] + Normal Saline preparation. There are, though, published reports of water-soluble vitamins being given safely to pregnant women.

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