Multiple Vitamins (adult) Pharmacy Bulk Package Kit
FDA Label NDC 60505-6191

Multiple vitamins injection (adult) is a combination of vitamins indicated for the prevention of vitamin deficiency in adults and children aged 11 and older receiving parenteral nutrition.

The physician should not await the development of clinical signs of vitamin deficiency before initiating vitamin therapy.

Multiple vitamins injection (adult) is a combination product that contains the following vitamins: ascorbic acid, vitamin A, vitamin D, thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, niacinamide, dexpanthenol, vitamin E, vitamin K₁, folic acid, biotin, and vitamin B₁₂.

Multiple vitamins injection (adult) is supplied as a pharmacy bulk package for intravenous use intended for administration by intravenous infusion after dilution.

Multiple vitamins injection (adult) Pharmacy Bulk Package:

• Provides ten 10 mL daily doses when the content of vial 1 is transferred into the content of vial 2. One 10 mL dose is then added directly to intravenous fluid. Pharmacy bulk package of multiple vitamins injection (adult) is intended for dispensing of single doses to multiple patients in a pharmacy admixture program and is restricted to the preparation of admixtures for infusion [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

Patients with multiple vitamin deficiencies or with increased vitamin requirements may need multiple daily dosages as indicated. Some patients do not maintain adequate levels of certain vitamins when this formulation in recommended amounts is the only source of vitamins.

Do not administer multiple vitamins injection (adult) as a direct, undiluted intravenous injection as it may cause dizziness, faintness, and possible tissue irritation.

Multiple vitamins injection (adult) Pharmacy Bulk Package:

• Use only in a suitable work area such as a laminar flow hood (or an equivalent clean air compounding area).
• Transfer the contents of Vial 1 into the contents of Vial 2 to provide ten 10 mL single doses.
• Each bulk vial closure shall be penetrated only one time with a suitable sterile transfer device or dispensing set that allows measured dispensing of the contents.
• Once the closure system has been penetrated, complete dispensing from the pharmacy bulk vial should be completed within 4 hours. The mixed solution may be refrigerated and stored for up to 4 hours.
• Discard unused portion.
• Visually inspect for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration.
• One daily 10 mL dose should be added directly to at least 500 mL to 1,000 mL, of intravenous dextrose, saline or similar infusion solutions.
• After multiple vitamins injection (adult) is diluted in an intravenous infusion, refrigerate the resulting solution unless it is to be used immediately, and use the solution within 24 hours after dilution.
• Minimize exposure to light because some of the vitamins in multiple vitamins injection (adult), particularly A, D and riboflavin, are light sensitive.

Blood vitamin concentrations should be monitored to ensure maintenance of adequate levels, particularly in patients receiving parenteral multivitamins as the only source of vitamins for long periods of time.

• Multiple vitamins injection (adult) is not physically compatible with moderately alkaline solutions such as a sodium bicarbonate solution and other alkaline drugs such as acetazolamide sodium, aminophylline, ampicillin sodium, tetracycline HCl and chlorothiazide sodium.
• Folic acid is unstable in the presence of calcium salts such as calcium gluconate.
• Vitamin A and thiamine in multiple vitamins injection (adult) may react with bisulfite solutions such as sodium bisulfite or vitamin K bisulfate.
• Do not add multiple vitamins injection (adult) directly to intravenous fat emulsions.
• Consult appropriate references for additional listings of physical and chemical compatibility of solutions and drugs with the vitamin infusion when needed. If incompatibilities are identified, avoid admixture or Y-site administration with vitamin solutions.

Multiple vitamins injection (adult) Pharmacy Bulk Package: is an injection for intravenous administration consisting of two vials labeled Vial 1 (50 mL) and Vial 2 (50 mL Fill in 100 mL Vial). The mixed solution (100 mL) will provide ten 10 mL single doses. For the vitamin strengths [see Description (11)].

Vial 1 (Pharmacy Bulk Package) is supplied as clear, yellow to orange colored solution in amber glass vial closed with a rubber stopper, aluminum flip-off seals of white color button.  

Vial 2 (Pharmacy Bulk Package) is supplied as clear, off-white to pale yellow colored solution in amber glass vial closed with a rubber stopper, aluminum flip-off seals of dark blue color button.

Multiple vitamins injection (adult) is contraindicated in patients who have

• An existing hypervitaminosis, or
• A history of hypersensitivity due to any vitamins or excipients contained in this formulation.

Multiple vitamins injection (adult) contains aluminum that may be toxic. Aluminum may reach toxic levels with prolonged parenteral administration if kidney function is impaired. Premature neonates are particularly at risk because their kidneys are immature, and they require large amounts of calcium and phosphate solution, which contain aluminum.

Research indicates that patients with impaired kidney function, including premature neonates who receive parenteral levels of aluminum at greater than 4 to 5 mcg/kg/day accumulate aluminum at levels associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity. Tissue loading may occur at even lower rates of administration. To prevent aluminum toxicity periodically monitor aluminum levels with prolonged parenteral administration of multiple vitamins injection (adult) in patients with renal impairment.

Allergic reactions such as urticaria, shortness of breath, wheezing and angioedema have been reported following intravenous administration of thiamine, which is found in multiple vitamins injection (adult). There have been rare reports of anaphylactoid reactions following intravenous doses of thiamine. No fatal anaphylactoid reactions associated with multiple vitamins injection (adult) have been reported.

Hypervitaminosis A, manifested by nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, blurred vision has been reported in patients with renal failure receiving 1.5 mg/day retinol and in patients with liver disease, Therefore, supplementation of renal failure patients and patients with liver disease with vitamin A, an ingredient found in multiple vitamins injection (adult), should be undertaken with caution [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6 and8.7)].

Multiple vitamins injection (adult) contains Vitamin K, which may decrease the anticoagulant action of warfarin. In patients who are on warfarin anticoagulant therapy receiving multiple vitamins injection (adult) monitor blood levels of prothrombin/INR to determine if dose of warfarin needs to be adjusted.

Multiple vitamins injection (adult) contains folic acid and cyanocobalamin which can mask serum deficiencies of folic acid and cyanocobalamin in patients with megaloblastic anemia. Avoid the use of multiple vitamins injection (adult) in patients with suspected or diagnosed megaloblastic anemia prior to blood sampling for the detection of the folic acid and cyanocobalamin deficiencies.

In patients receiving parenteral multivitamins such as with multiple vitamins injection (adult), blood concentration should be periodically monitored to determine if deficiencies or excesses are developing. Multiple vitamins injection (adult) may not correct long-standing specific vitamin deficiencies. The administration of additional therapeutic doses of specific vitamins may be required [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

Multiple vitamins injection (adult) contains vitamin C which is also known as ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid in the urine may cause false negative urine glucose results.

The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other section of the labeling.

• Allergic reactions to thiamine [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
• Hypervitaminosis A [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]

The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of multiple vitamins injection (adult). Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Dermatologic: rash, erythema, pruritis

CNS: headache, dizziness, agitation, anxiety

Ophthalmic: diplopia

A number of interactions between vitamins and drugs have been reported. The following are examples of these types of interactions:

Warfarin: Vitamin K, a component of multiple vitamins injection (adult), antagonizes the anticoagulant action of warfarin. In patients who are co-administered warfarin and multiple vitamins injection (adult), blood levels of prothrombin/INR should be monitored to determine if dose of warfarin needs to be adjusted [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)].

Antibiotics: Thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, niacinamide, and ascorbic acid decrease antibiotic activities of erythromycin, kanamycin, streptomycin, doxycycline, and lincomycin.

Bleomycin: Ascorbic acid and riboflavin inactivate bleomycin in vitro, thus the activity of bleomycin may be reduced.

Levodopa: Pyridoxine may increase the metabolism of levodopa (decrease blood levels of levodopa) and decrease its efficacy.

Phenytoin: Folic acid may increase phenytoin metabolism and lower the serum concentration of phenytoin resulting in increased seizure activity.

Methotrexate: Folic acid may decrease a patient’s response to methotrexate therapy.

Hydralazine, Isoniazid: Concomitant administration of hydralazine or isoniazid may increase pyridoxine requirements.

Phenytoin: Phenytoin may decrease serum folic acid concentrations.

Chloramphenicol: In patients with pernicious anemia, the hematologic response to vitamin B₁₂ therapy may be inhibited by chloramphenicol.

Risk Summary

Administration of the approved recommended dose of multiple vitamins injection (adult) in parental nutrition is not expected to cause major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Pregnant patients should follow the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowances for pregnancy because their vitamin requirements may exceed those of nonpregnant patients. Deficiency of essential vitamins may result in adverse pregnancy outcomes (see Clinical Considerations).

Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with multiple vitamins injection (adult).

The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.

Clinical Considerations

Disease-associated Maternal and/or Embryo-Fetal Risk

Deficiency of essential vitamins has been associated with adverse pregnancy and fetal outcomes, such as maternal folic acid deficiency and an increased risk of neural tube defects. Therefore, parenteral nutrition with multiple vitamins injection should be considered if a pregnant woman’s nutritional requirements cannot be fulfilled by oral or enteral intake.

Risk Summary

Multiple vitamins present in multiple vitamins injection (adult) are also present in human milk. Administration of the approved recommended dose of multiple vitamins injection (adult) In parental nutrition is not expected to cause harm to a breastfed infant. There is no information on the effects of multiple vitamins injection (adult) on milk production. Lactating patients should follow the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowances for their condition, because their vitamin requirements may exceed those of nonlactating patients. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for multiple vitamins injection (adult) and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from multiple vitamins injection (adult) or from the underlying maternal condition.
