This IV is indicated as a daily multivitamin maintenance dosage for infants and children aged up to 11 years receiving parenteral nutrition. It is also indicated in other situations where administration by the intravenous route is required. Such situations include surgery, extensive burns, fractures and other trauma, severe infectious diseases and comatose states, which may provoke a stress situation with profound alterations in the body's metabolic demands and consequent tissue depletion of nutrients.
There have been rare reports of anaphylactic reactions following parenteral multivitamin administration. Rare reports of anaphylactic reactions have also been reported after large intravenous doses of thiamine. The risk is negligible if thiamine is co-administered with other vitamins in the B group. There have been rare reports of the following types of reactions:- rash, erythema, pruritus, headache, dizziness, agitation, anxiety, diplopia, urticaria, shortness of breath, wheezing, and angioedema.
Caution should be exercised when administering this multivitamin formulation to patients on warfarin sodium-type anticoagulant therapy as it contains Vitamin K. Larger doses or supplementation with oral or parenteral vitamin E are not recommended because elevated blood levels of vitamin E may result. Additional vitamin A supplementation may be required, especially in low birth weight infants. Polysorbates have been associated with the E-Ferol syndrome (thrombocytopenia, renal dysfunction, hepatomegaly, cholestasis, ascites, hypotension, and metabolic acidosis) in low birth weight infants. Proviten JR contains aluminum. 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.
