For the full list of excipients, see section list of excipients.

• Osmolality in 10 ml of water: approx. 490 mosm/kg water
• pH in 10 ml of water: 5.8

Therapeutic indications

Soluvit N is indicated in adult patients and children as a supplement in intravenous nutrition to meet the daily requirements of water soluble vitamins.

Soluvit N Dosage and Administration

Posology

Adults:

For adult patients and children weighing 10 kg or more, the recommended daily dosage is the content of one vial.

Infants:

Children weighing less than 10 kg should be given 1/10 of the content of one vial per kg body weight per day.

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity to any of the components, e.g. thiamine or methyl parahydroxybenzoate.

Warnings

Soluvit N must not be given undiluted.

When Soluvit N is diluted with water based solutions, the admixture should be protected from light. This is not necessary if Soluvit N is diluted with Intralipid because of the protective effect of the fat emulsion.

Interference with clinical laboratory tests

Biotin may interfere with laboratory tests that are based on a biotin/streptavidin interaction, leading to either falsely decreased or falsely increased test results, depending on the assay. The risk of interference is higher in children and patients with renal impairment and increases with higher doses. When interpreting results of laboratory tests, possible biotin interference has to be taken into consideration, especially if a lack of coherence with the clinical presentation is observed (e.g. thyroid test results mimicking Graves' disease in asymptomatic patients taking biotin or false negative troponin test results in patients with myocardial infarction taking biotin). Alternative tests not susceptible to biotin interference should be used, if available, in cases where interference is suspected. The laboratory personnel should be consulted when ordering laboratory tests in patients taking biotin.

Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

Folic acid may lower the serum concentration of phenytoin and obscure pernicious anaemia.

Vitamin B6 can reduce the effect of levodopa.

Fertility, pregnancy and lactation

Animal reproduction studies or clinical investigations during pregnancy have not been carried out with Soluvit N. There are, however, published reports on safe administration of water soluble vitamins in this patient group.

Effects on ability to drive and use machines

Not relevant.

Undesirable effects

Allergic reactions including severe (anaphylactic) reactions may occur in patients hypersensitive to any component of the preparation, e.g. folic acid, thiamine or methyl parahydroxybensoate (frequency not known).

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions

Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system.

Overdosage

No adverse effects of an overdose of water soluble vitamins have been reported, with exception of cases of extremly high parenteral doses. Overdoses caused by parenteral preparations for nutritional supplement of water soluble vitamins have not been reported.

No specific treatment is needed. See also section Contraindications.
