Vidalin IV’ is a sterile, lyophilized mixture of the water-soluble vitamins for intravenous infusion: 10ml vial with powder fo reconstitution. Comp: Each vial contains: Vitamin Bi (as thiamine nitrate) BP 2.5mg, vitamin B2 (as riboflavin sodium phosphate) BP 3.6mg, nicotinamide BP 40mg, vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine hydrochloride) BP 4mg, pantothenic acid (as dexpanthenol) BP 15mg, vitamin C (ascorbic acid as sodium ascorbate) BP 100mg, biotin BP 0.06mg, folic acid BP 0.4mg and vitamin B12 (as cyano-cobalamin) BP 0.005mg. Ind: This water-soluble vitamin preparation is intended as a supplement in intravenous nutrition in order to meet the daily requirements of the water-soluble vitamins in adults, infants and children 11 years of age and older. Fat-soluble vitamins should also be administered to patients receiving prolonged parenteral nutrition.

C/I: Known hypersensitivity to any of the components.

S/E: Allergic reactions may occur in patients hypersensitive to any component in the preparation. There have been rare reports of anaphylactoid reactions following repeated injection of preparations containing thiamine. Flushing, itching or burning of the skin may occur in patients susceptible to the effects of nicotinamide. Other adverse reactions that may be expected include: allergic reactions, dermatological reactions including flushing, erythema and pruritus and CNS reactions including headache, dizziness and agitation. 

Precautions & warning: Administering folic acid may obscure pernicious anaemia. The doses recommended are insufficient to correct severe vitamin deficiency states and may be insufficient in patients with markedly increased vitamin requirements. In patients receiving total parenter¬al nutrition (TPN), routine supplementation with both fat soluble and water-soluble vitamins is recommended to prevent deficiency states and to obviate the need to speculate on individual vitamin status. Daily vitamin requirements must be calculated to avoid overdosage and toxic effects, specially with regards to vitamins A and D and particularly in pediatric patients. To prevent excessive excretion of water-soluble vitamins and for reasons of safety, daily dosage should be administered over a number of hours. Pregnancy & lactation: Administration of water soluble vitamins in pregnancy & lactation is safe as per published reports.

Dosage & admin: Adults: For adult patients and children weighing 10kg or more, the recommended daily dosage is the content of one vial. Infants: Children weighing less than 10kg should be given 1/JO of the content of one vial per kg body weight per day. The daily requirements of adult patients and children (11 years and over) weighing 10kg or more are met by the contents of one vial. Instructions for reconstitution: For adult patients and children weighing 10kg or more, the contents of 1 vial are dissolved by 10inl of either water for injection or glucose solution, electrolyte-free (5% to 60%). Children weighing less than 10kg should be given 1ml of the dissolved mixture per kg body weight per day. Children weighing 10kg or more should be given 10ml (one vial) per day.
