INFUVITE ADULT is supplied as a single dose or as a pharmacy bulk package for intravenous use intended for administration by intravenous infusion after dilution. INFUVITE ADULT Single Dose: • Provides one daily dose of 10 mL (5 mL of Vial 1 plus 5 mL of Vial 2) which must be diluted prior to intravenous administration [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )] . INFUVITE ADULT Pharmacy Bulk Package: • Provides ten 10 mL daily doses when the content of vial 1 is transferred into the content of vial 2. One 10 mL dose is then added directly to intravenous fluid. Pharmacy bulk package of INFUVITE ADULT is intended for dispensing of single doses to multiple patients in a pharmacy admixture program and is restricted to the preparation of admixtures for infusion [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )]. Patients with multiple vitamin deficiencies or with increased vitamin requirements may need multiple daily dosages as indicated. Some patients do not maintain adequate levels of certain vitamins when this formulation in recommended amounts is the only source of vitamins. 2.2 Preparation and Administration Instructions Do not administer INFUVITE ADULT as a direct, undiluted intravenous injection as it may cause dizziness, faintness, and possible tissue irritation . INFUVITE ADULT Single Dose : • Use only in a suitable work area such as a laminar flow hood (or an equivalent clean air compounding area). • Add 5 mL of Vial 1 and 5 mL of Vial 2 to at least 500 mL to 1000 mL, of intravenous dextrose or saline solutions. • Discard unused portion. • Visually inspect for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. • After INFUVITE ADULT is diluted in an intravenous infusion, refrigerate the resulting solution unless it is to be used immediately, and use the solution within 24 hours after dilution. • Minimize exposure to light because some of the vitamins in INFUVITE ADULT, particularly A, D and riboflavin, are light sensitive. INFUVITE ADULT Pharmacy Bulk Package : • Use only in a suitable work area such as a laminar flow hood (or an equivalent clean air compounding area). • Transfer the contents of Vial 1 into the contents of Vial 2 to provide ten 10 mL single doses. • Each bulk vial closure shall be penetrated only one time with a suitable sterile transfer device or dispensing set that allows measured dispensing of the contents. • Once the closure system has been penetrated, complete dispensing from the pharmacy bulk vial should be completed within 4 hours. The mixed solution may be refrigerated and stored for up to 4 hours. • Discard unused portion. • Visually inspect for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. • One daily 10 mL dose should be added directly to at least 500 mL to 1000 mL, of intravenous dextrose, saline or similar infusion solutions. • After INFUVITE ADULT is diluted in an intravenous infusion, refrigerate the resulting solution unless it is to be used immediately, and use the solution within 24 hours after dilution. • Minimize exposure to light because some of the vitamins in INFUVITE ADULT, particularly A, D and riboflavin, are light sensitive. 2.3 Monitoring Vitamin Blood Levels 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. 2.4 Drug Incompatibilities • INFUVITE ADULT is not physically compatible with moderately alkaline solutions such as a sodium bicarbonate solution and other alkaline drugs such as acetazolamide sodium, aminophylline, ampicillin sodium, tetracycline HCl and chlorothiazide sodium. • Folic acid is unstable in the presence of calcium salts such as calcium gluconate. • Vitamin A and thiamine in INFUVITE ADULT may react with bisulfite solutions such as sodium bisulfite or vitamin K bisulfate. • Do not add INFUVITE ADULT directly to intravenous fat emulsions. • Consult appropriate references for additional listings of physical and chemical compatibility of solutions and drugs with the vitamin infusion when needed. If incompatibilities are identified, avoid admixture or Y-site administration with vitamin solutions.

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 INFUVITE ADULT 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 INFUVITE ADULT: • Hydralazine, Isoniazid: Concomitant administration of hydralazine or isoniazid may increase pyridoxine requirements ( 7.2 ). • Phenytoin: May decrease folic acid concentrations ( 7.2 ) • Chloramphenicol : In patients with pernicious anemia, the hematologic response to vitamin B12 therapy may be inhibited ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Drug Interactions Affecting Co-administered Drugs Warfarin : Vitamin K, a component of INFUVITE ADULT, antagonizes the anticoagulant action of warfarin. In patients who are co-administered warfarin and INFUVITE ADULT, 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. 7.2 Drug Interactions Affecting Vitamin Levels Hydralazine, Isoniazid: Concomitant administration of hydralazine or isoniazid may increase pyridoxine requirements. Phenytoin : Phenytoin may decrease serum folic acid concentrations. Chloramphenicol: In patients with pernicious anemia, the hematologic response to vitamin B12 therapy may be inhibited by chloramphenicol.

Information For Patients

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Instruct patients (if age appropriate) and caregivers: • To watch for signs of allergic reactions such as urticaria, shortness of breath, wheezing and angioedema since hypersensitivity reactions may occur to any of the vitamins or excipients contained in INFUVITE ADULT. • To watch for and immediately report nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, blurred vision, especially if patients have renal impairment, as these may be signs of hypervitaminosis A. • To report other adverse reactions such as rash, erythema, pruritus, headache, dizziness, agitation, anxiety, and diplopia. • That the patients on warfarin anticoagulant therapy will be monitored periodically with blood prothrombin/ INR levels to determine if their dose of warfarin needs to be adjusted. • About the significance of periodic monitoring of blood vitamin concentrations to determine if vitamin deficiencies or excesses are developing and the need to monitor renal function, calcium, phosphorus, aluminum and vitamin A levels in patients with renal impairment. • That INFUVITE ADULT should be avoided in patients with suspected or diagnosed megaloblastic anemia prior to blood sampling for the detection of the folic acid and cyanocobalamin deficiencies. • That vitamin C (ascorbic acid) contained in INFUVITE ADULT may cause false negative urine glucose results.
