Visually inspect for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. Utilizing a suitable sterile automated compounding device or dispensing pin for accuracy, aseptically transfer each 10 mL dose into a plastic or glass bottle containing at least 500 to 1000 mL intravenous parenteral nutrition solution containing dextrose or saline. After M.V.I.-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 M.V.I.-Adult, particularly A, D and riboflavin, are light sensitive. Monitoring Vitamin Blood Levels 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. Drug Incompatibilities M.V.I.-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, and chlorothiazide sodium. Folic acid is unstable in the presence of calcium salts such as calcium gluconate. Vitamin A and thiamine in M.V.I.-Adult™ may react with bisulfite solutions such as sodium bisulfite or vitamin K bisulfite. Do not add M.V.I.-Adult™ directly to intravenous fat emulsions. Consult appropriate references for listings of physical and chemical compatibility of solutions and drugs with the vitamin infusion. In such circumstances, admixture or Y-site administration with vitamin solutions should be avoided.

SIDE EFFECTS The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other section of the labeling. Allergic reactions to thiamine [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]. Hypervitaminosis A [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]. The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of M.V.I.-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, pruritus CNS: headache, dizziness, agitation, anxiety Ophthalmic: diplopia DRUG INTERACTIONS A number of interactions between vitamins and drugs have been reported. The following are examples of these types of interactions: Effect of M.V.I.-Adult on Other Drugs 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. Levodopa: Pyridoxine may increase the metabolism of levodopa (decrease blood level of levodopa) and decrease its efficacy. 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. Effect Of Other Drugs On M.V.I.-Adult Hydralazine or Isoniazid Concomitant administration of hydralazine or isoniazid may increase pyridoxine requirements. Chloramphenicol In patients with pernicious anemia, the hematologic response to vitamin B12 therapy may be inhibited by concomitant administration of chloramphenicol. Phenytoin Phenytoin may decrease serum folic acid concentrations.

WARNINGS Included as part of the PRECAUTIONS section. PRECAUTIONS Decreased Anticoagulant Effect Of Warfarin M.V.I.-Adult contains Vitamin K which may decrease the anticoagulant effect of warfarin. In patients who are on warfarin anticoagulant therapy receiving M.V.I-Adult, prothrombin time/INR should be periodically monitored to determine if the dose of warfarin needs to be adjusted. Aluminum Toxicity M.V.I.-Adult™ contains aluminum that may be toxic. Aluminum may reach toxic levels with prolonged parenteral administration in patients with renal impairment. Premature neonates are particularly at risk because their kidneys are immature, and they require large amounts of calcium and phosphate solutions, which contain aluminum. Patients with impaired kidney function, including premature neonates, who receive parenteral levels of aluminum at greater than 4 to 5 micrograms per kg per 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 monitor periodically aluminum levels with prolonged parenteral administration of M.V.I.-Adult. Risk Of Low Vitamin A Levels Vitamin A may adhere to plastic, resulting in lower vitamin A concentrations after administration of M.V.I.-Adult™. Therefore, blood vitamin concentrations should be periodically monitored and the administration of additional therapeutic doses of Vitamin A may be required. Allergic Reactions To Thiamine Allergic reactions such as urticaria, periorbital and digital edema, have been reported following intravenous administration of thiamine, which is found in M.V.I.-Adult™. There have been rare reports of anaphylaxis following intravenous doses of thiamine. No fatal anaphylaxis reactions associated with M.V.I. Adult™ have been reported. Hypervitaminosis A 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 diseases with vitamin A, an ingredient found in M.V.I.-Adult™, should be undertaken with caution [see Use in Specific Populations]. Blood levels of Vitamin A should be monitored periodically. Interference With Diagnosis Of Megaloblastic Anemia M.V.I-Adult contains folic acid and cyanocobalamin which can mask serum deficits of folic acid and cyanocobalamin in patients with megaloblastic anemia. Avoid the use of M.V.I.-Adult™ in patients with suspected or diagnosed megaloblastic anemia prior to blood sampling for the detection of the folic acid and cyanocobalamin deficiencies. Potential To Develop Vitamin Deficiencies Or Excesses In patients receiving parenteral multivitamins, such as with M.V.I.-Adult™, blood vitamin concentrations should be periodically monitored to determine if vitamin deficiencies or excesses are developing. M.V.I.-Adult™ may not correct long-standing specific vitamin deficiencies. The administration of additional doses of specific vitamins may be required [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION]. Interference With Urine Glucose Testing M.V.I.-Adult™ contains Vitamin C which is also known as ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid in the urine may cause false negative urine glucose determinations. Nonclinical Toxicology Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility Carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and fertility studies were not performed. Use In Specific Populations Pregnancy Pregnancy Category C M.V.I.-Adult™ has not been studied in pregnant women. Pregnant women should follow the U.S. recommended daily allowances for pregnancy because their vitamin requirements may exceed those of nonpregnant women. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with M.V.I-Adult (Multi-Vitamin Injection) administered by intravenous infusion). Nursing Mothers M.V.I.-Adult™ has not been studied in lactating women. Lactating women may have vitamin requirements that exceed those of nonlactating woman. Caution should be exercised when M.V.I.-Adult™ is administered to a nursing woman. Pediatric Use M.V.I.-Adult™ has not been studied in in children below the age of 11 years. Renal Impairment M.V.I.-Adult™ has not been studied in patients with renal impairment. Monitor renal function, calcium, phosphorus and vitamin A levels in patients with renal impairment [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]. Hepatic Impairment M.V.I.-Adult™ has not been studied in patients with hepatic impairment. Monitor vitamin A level in patients with liver disease, high alcohol consumption [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
