1. What Soluvit N is and what it is used for

Soluvit N is a medicine containing water-soluble vitamins, administered intravenously when oral nutrition is not possible. Vitamins are organic substances necessary in small amounts for the proper functioning of the body.
Soluvit N is indicated for use as a component of parenteral nutrition, together with proteins, fats, carbohydrates, electrolytes, and other vitamins.

2. Important information before using Soluvit N

When not to use Soluvit N
Do not use Soluvit N:

if the patient is allergic to the active substances or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions
In patients receiving Soluvit N, the doctor may order regular blood tests to monitor health status.
Soluvit N contains 60 μg of biotin per vial (i.e. 6.0 μg per 1 ml after dilution). If the patient is due to have laboratory tests, he/she should inform the doctor or laboratory personnel that he/she has recently received Soluvit N, as biotin may interfere with test results.
Depending on the test, results may be falsely high or falsely low due to the presence of biotin.
The doctor may advise stopping Soluvit N before laboratory testing. It should also be remembered that other products the patient may be taking, such as multivitamin preparations or dietary supplements used to improve hair, skin, and nail condition, may also contain biotin and affect laboratory test results. If the patient is taking such products, he/she should inform the doctor or laboratory personnel.

Soluvit N with other medicines
Tell the doctor or pharmacist about all medicines the patient is currently taking or has recently taken, as well as any medicines the patient plans to use.

Inform the doctor:

if the patient is taking phenytoin (a medicine used to treat epilepsy);
if the patient is taking levodopa (a medicine used to treat Parkinson's disease);
if the patient is receiving intravenous hydroxocobalamin (a medicine used to treat vitamin B deficiency and certain eye disorders).

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, suspects she may be pregnant, or is planning to have a child, she should consult her doctor before using this medicine.
The doctor will decide whether Soluvit N should be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Driving and using machines
Soluvit N has no effect or negligible effect on the ability to drive or operate machinery.

Soluvit N contains methyl parahydroxybenzoate
Medicines containing methyl parahydroxybenzoate may cause allergic reactions (including delayed-type reactions) and, very rarely, bronchospasm (such reactions have not been observed with Soluvit N).

3. How to use Soluvit N

Reconstituted and diluted Soluvit N is administered by intravenous infusion (intravenous drip).
The dosage for each patient is determined by the physician.

Dosage
Adult patients and children with body weight equal to or above 10 kg
The usual daily dose for adult patients and children with body weight equal to or above 10 kg is the contents of 1 vial (reconstituted in 10 ml of solution).

Children with body weight below 10 kg
Children with body weight below 10 kg should receive 1 ml of solution per kilogram of body weight per day.

Administration of a higher than recommended dose of Soluvit N
The physician or nurse will monitor the patient's health status during the infusion; therefore, the likelihood of administering a dose higher than recommended is low. However, if the patient believes they have received a higher than recommended dose of Soluvit N, they should immediately inform the physician or nurse.

If there are any further doubts regarding the use of this medicinal product, consult the physician or nurse.
