INFUVITE PEDIATRIC is a combination product that contains the following vitamins: ascorbic acid, vitamin A, vitamin D, thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, niacinamide, dexpanthenol, vitamin E, vitamin K1, folic acid, biotin, and vitamin B12.
INFUVITE PEDIATRIC is supplied as a single dose or as a pharmacy bulk package for intravenous use intended for administration by intravenous infusion after dilution:
The recommended daily dosage volume is based on the patient's actual weight: less than 1 kg, 1 kg to less than 3 kg, and 3 kg or greater.
Patients with multiple vitamin deficiencies or with increased vitamin requirements may need multiple daily dosages as indicated or additional doses of individual vitamins. Supplemental vitamin A may be required for low-birth weight infants.
Additional daily dosages of Vitamin E in infants are not recommended [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8)].
INFUVITE PEDIATRIC Single Dose (see Table 1):
One daily dose of Vial 1 (1.2 mL, 2.6 mL or 4 mL) and one daily dose of Vial 2 (0.3 mL, 0.65 mL or 1 mL) based on the patient’s weight are added directly to a specified volume of an intravenous fluid [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)] (see Table 1).

Do not administer INFUVITE PEDIATRIC as a direct, undiluted intravenous injection as it may cause dizziness, faintness, and possible tissue irritation.
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.
INFUVITE PEDIATRIC Single Dose is an injection consisting of two single-dose vials labeled Vial 1 (4 mL) and Vial 2 (1 mL). For the vitamin strengths [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Description (11)].
INFUVITE PEDIATRIC Pharmacy Bulk Package is an injection consisting of two vials labeled Vial 1 (40 mL Fill in 50 mL Vial) and Vial 2 (10 mL). The mixed solution (50 mL) will provide thirty-three 1.5 mL single doses, fifteen 3.25 mL single doses or ten 5 mL single doses. For the vitamin strengths [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Description (11)].
INFUVITE 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 INFUVITE PEDIATRIC.
Allergic reactions such as urticaria, shortness of breath, wheezing and angioedema have been reported following intravenous administration of thiamine, which is found in INFUVITE PEDIATRIC. There have been rare reports of anaphylaxis following intravenous doses of thiamine. No fatal anaphylaxis associated with INFUVITE PEDIATRIC has been reported.
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 INFUVITE PEDIATRIC, should be undertaken with caution [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6, 8.7)]. Blood levels of Vitamin A should be monitored periodically.
INFUVITE PEDIATRIC contains Vitamin K which may decrease the anticoagulant action of warfarin. In patients who are on warfarin anticoagulant therapy receiving INFUVITE PEDIATRIC monitor blood levels of prothrombin/INR to determine if dose of warfarin needs to be adjusted.
INFUVITE 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 INFUVITE PEDIATRICS in patients with suspected or diagnosed megaloblastic anemia prior to blood sampling for the detection of the folic acid and cyanocobalamin deficiencies.
In patients receiving parenteral multivitamins such as with INFUVITE PEDIATRIC, blood vitamin concentrations should be periodically monitored to determine if vitamin deficiencies or excesses are developing. INFUVITE PEDIATRIC may not correct long-standing specific vitamin deficiencies. The administration of additional doses of specific vitamins may be required [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
INFUVITE PEDIATRIC contains vitamin C which is also known as ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid in the urine may cause false negative urine glucose results.
Additional vitamin E supplementations of patients receiving INFUVITE PEDIATRIC may result in elevated blood concentrations of vitamin E and potential vitamin E toxicity in infants. Avoid additional oral or parental doses of vitamin E in infants. Daily dose of INFUVITE PEDIATRIC contains adequate concentrations of vitamin E required to achieve normal blood levels of vitamin E.
Lower vitamin A concentrations may occur after administration of INFUVITE PEDIATRIC due to the adherence of Vitamin A to plastic. Monitor blood vitamin A concentrations periodically. Additional administration of therapeutic doses of vitamin A may be required, especially in low-birth weight infants.
E-Ferol syndrome manifested by thrombocytopenia, renal dysfunction, hepatomegaly, cholestasis, ascites, hypotension and metabolic acidosis has been reported in low-birth weight infants following administration of polysorbates which are found in INFUVITE PEDIATRIC. No E-Ferol syndrome associated with INFUVITE PEDIATRIC has been reported.
The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling.
The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of INFUVITE 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.
A number of interactions between vitamins and drugs have been reported. The following are examples of these types of interactions.
INFUVITE PEDIATRIC 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 non-pregnant women. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with INFUVITE PEDIATRIC (multiple vitamins injection).
INFUVITE PEDIATRIC has not been studied in nursing mothers. Lactating women may have vitamin requirements that exceed those of non-lactating women. Caution should be exercised when INFUVITE PEDIATRIC is administered to nursing mothers.
INFUVITE PEDIATRIC is approved for the prevention of vitamin deficiency in pediatric patients up to 11 years old receiving parenteral nutrition. INFUVITE PEDIATRIC has not been studied in pediatric patients older than 11 years.
INFUVITE PEDIATRIC contains aluminum that may be toxic for premature neonates. Aluminum levels should be monitored periodically during administration of INFUVITE PEDIATRIC to premature neonates [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
Additional vitamin E supplementations of infants receiving INFUVITE PEDIATRIC may result in elevated blood concentrations of vitamin E and potential vitamin E toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8)].
E-Ferol syndrome has been reported in low-birth weight infants following administration of polysorbates which are found in INFUVITE PEDIATRIC. No E-Ferol syndrome associated with INFUVITE PEDIATRIC has been reported [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10)].
INFUVITE PEDIATRIC 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 (5.1, 5.3)].
INFUVITE PEDIATRIC has not been studied in patients with liver impairment. Monitor vitamin A levels in patients with liver disease [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].
