Indications
Soluvit N is indicated in adult patients and children as a supplement in intravenous nutrition to meet the daily requirements of watersoluble vitamins.
Contra-Indications
Known hypersensitivity to any of the components, e.g. thiamine or methyl parahydroxybenzoate.
Special Precautions
Soluvit N must not be given undiluted.
When Soluvit N is diluted with water based solutions, the admixture should be protected from light. This is not necessary if Soluvit N is diluted with Intralipid because of the protective effect of the fat emulsion.
Side Effects
Allergic reactions may occur in patients hypersensitive to any component of the preparation, e.g. thiamine or methyl parahydroxybenzoate.
Drug interactions
Folic acid may lower the serum concentration of Phenytoin and obscure pernicious anaemia.
Vitamin B6 can reduce the effect of levodopa.

Animal reproduction studies or clinical investigations during pregnancy have not been carried out with Soluvit N. There are, however, published reports on safe administration of water soluble vitamins in this patient group.
Overdose
No adverse effects of an overdose of watersoluble vitamins have been reported, with exception of cases of extremly high parenteral doses. Overdoses caused by parenteral preparations for nutritional supplement of watersoluble vitamins have not been reported.
No specific treatment is needed. See also Contraindications.
