Kit / multi-component package
This NDC identifies a kit — a package containing more than one component. Structured data (pricing, ingredients, equivalents) is often reported per component rather than for the kit NDC itself, which can make this page look thinner than the components' own pages.

⛔ Contraindications ▾
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS Multiple vitamins injection (pediatric) is contraindicated in patients who have: • An existing hypervitaminosis, or • A history of hypersensitivity to any vitamins or excipients contained in this formulation. • Hypersensitivity to any of vitamins or excipients ( 4 ) • Existing hypervitaminosis ( 4 )
⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Risk of Aluminum Toxicity: For at risk patients (renal failure or those with prolonged therapy), consider periodic monitoring of aluminum levels ( 5.1 ) • Allergic Reactions: To thiamine may occur ( 5.2 ) • Hypervitaminosis A : Patients with renal failure or liver disease may be at higher risk ( 5.3 ) • Decreased Anticoagulant Effect of Warfarin: Monitor INR ( 5.4 , 7.1 ) • Interferes with Megaloblastic Anemia Diagnosis: Avoid during testing for this disorder ( 5.5 ) • Risk of Vitamin Deficiencies or Excesses: Monitor blood vitamin concentrations ( 5.6 ) • False Negative Urine Glucose Tests: Due to vitamin C ( 5.7 ) • Risk of Vitamin E Toxicity: Additional oral and parenteral vitamin E may result in elevated vitamin E blood concentrations in infants ( 5.8 ) • Low Vitamin A Levels: Monitor vitamin A levels ( 5.9 ) • Risk of E- Ferol Syndrome: Due to polysorbates ( 5.10 )
5.1Aluminum Toxicity Multiple vitamins injection (pediatric) contains aluminum that may be toxic. Aluminum may reach toxic levels with prolonged parenteral administration in pediatric patients with renal impairment. 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 (pediatric).
5.2Allergic Reactions to Thiamine 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 (pediatric). There have been rare reports of anaphylaxis following intravenous doses of thiamine. No fatal anaphylaxis associated with multiple vitamins injection (pediatric) has been reported.
5.3Hypervitaminosis 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 disease with vitamin A, an ingredient found in multiple vitamins injection (pediatric), should be undertaken with caution [ see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6 and 8.7 ) ]. Blood levels of Vitamin A should be monitored periodically.
5.4Decreased Anticoagulant Effect of Warfarin Multiple vitamins injection (pediatric) contains Vitamin K which may decrease the anticoagulant action of warfarin. In patients who are on warfarin anticoagulant therapy receiving multiple vitamins injection (pediatric) monitor blood levels of prothrombin/INR to determine if dose of warfarin needs to be adjusted.
5.5Interference with Diagnosis of Megaloblastic Anemia Multiple vitamins injection (pediatric) 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 (pediatric) in patients with suspected or diagnosed megaloblastic anemia prior to blood sampling for the detection of the folic acid and cyanocobalamin deficiencies.
5.6Potential to Develop Vitamin Deficiencies or Excesses In patients receiving parenteral multivitamins such as with multiple vitamins injection (pediatric), blood vitamin concentrations should be periodically monitored to determine if vitamin deficiencies or excesses are developing. Multiple vitamins injection (pediatric) may not correct long-standing specific vitamin deficiencies. The administration of additional doses of specific vitamins may…
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections 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 (pediatric). 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 Adverse reactions have included anaphylaxis, rash, erythema, pruritis, headache, dizziness, agitation, anxiety, diplopia ( 6 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Apotex Corp. at 1-800-706-5575 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS A number of interactions between vitamins and drugs have been reported. The following are examples of these types of interactions. Effect of multiple vitamins injection (pediatric) on other drugs : • Antibiotics: Thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, niacinamide, and ascorbic acid decrease activities of erythromycin, kanamycin, streptomycin, doxycycline, and lincomycin ( 7.1 ) • Bleomycin : Ascorbic acid and riboflavin may reduce the activity of bleomycin ( 7.1 ) • Levodopa: Pyridoxine may decrease blood levels of levodopa and levodopa efficacy may decrease ( 7.1 ) • Phenytoin: Folic acid may decrease phenytoin blood levels and increase risk of seizure activity ( 7.1 ) • Methotrexate: Folic acid may decrease response to methotrexate ( 7.1 ) Effects of other drugs on multiple vitamins injection (pediatric) : • Hydralazine, Isoniazid: Concomitant administration of hydralazine or isoniazid may increase pyridoxine requirements ( 7.2 ). • Phenytoin: May decrease folic acid concentrations ( 7.2 )
7.1Drug Interactions Affecting Co-Administered Drugs Warfarin: Vitamin K, a component of multiple vitamins injection (pediatric), antagonizes the anticoagulant action of warfarin. In patients who are co-administered warfarin and multiple vitamins injection (pediatric), 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.
7.2Drug Interactions Affecting Vitamin Levels Hydralazine, Isoniazid: Concomitant administration of hydralazine or isoniazid may increase pyridoxine requirements. Phenytoin: Phenytoin may decrease serum folic acid concentrations.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy and Lactation: Pregnant and lactating patients should follow the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowances for their condition, because their vitamin requirements may exceed those of nonpregnant and nonlactating patients ( 8.1 , 8.2 ) Renal Impairment: Monitor renal function, calcium, phosphorus and vitamin A levels ( 8.6 ) Hepatic Impairment: Monitor vitamin A levels ( 8.7 )
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Administration of the approved recommended dose of multiple vitamins injection (pediatric) in parental nutrition is not expected to cause major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes.
