Benefits and clinical role
- Provides a combination of vitamins in an IV formulation for patients who need vitamin supplementation through parenteral nutrition or another appropriate IV regimen.
- The two-vial format keeps the components separate until preparation, as specified by the product instructions.
- Supports vitamin maintenance; it does not supply calories, protein, electrolytes, or all other nutrients needed for nutrition support.
Directions and best practices
Infuvite Adult is for administration by trained healthcare professionals. The labeled adult daily dose is generally 10 mL, consisting of the full contents of Vial 1 and Vial 2. The product must be prepared and diluted for infusion according to the current Baxter instructions and the facility’s sterile-compounding procedures. Do not administer the vials undiluted or by an unapproved route.
- Verify the correct patient, product, dose, and vial components before preparation.
- Use aseptic technique and inspect the solution and containers before use. Do not use a product with visible particles, discoloration, or a damaged container.
- Check compatibility with the prescribed IV solution or parenteral nutrition admixture; follow the product insert and institutional compatibility resources.
- Protect the preparation from light as directed and administer within the time limits specified in the current labeling and facility policy.
- Do not use in children younger than 11 years unless specifically directed by an appropriate clinician; a pediatric formulation may be required.
- Store and handle the product according to the carton and package insert. Do not rely on this summary for storage or beyond-use instructions.
Side effects
Parenteral multivitamins may cause hypersensitivity reactions. Possible signs include rash, itching, flushing, or redness. Severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions are possible, though uncommon. Stop the infusion and obtain urgent medical care if serious symptoms occur, such as difficulty breathing, facial or throat swelling, faintness, or rapidly worsening symptoms.
Warnings and precautions
- Do not use in a patient with a known serious allergy to any component of the product.
- Review the patient’s medication and supplement list to avoid unnecessary duplication and to assess potential vitamin–drug interactions.
- Patients receiving prolonged parenteral nutrition or those with renal or hepatic impairment may require individualized monitoring and adjustment of their overall vitamin regimen.
- Excessive intake from multiple sources can lead to vitamin toxicity; account for vitamins in other supplements and nutrition products.
- Infuvite Adult is a vitamin supplement, not a substitute for a complete nutrition plan or treatment of an individual vitamin deficiency unless prescribed for that purpose.
