1. What is Soluvit N and what is it 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 clinical nutrition, along with proteins, fats, carbohydrates, salts, and other vitamins.
2. Important information before using Soluvit N
When not to use Soluvit N
Soluvit N should not be used:
- 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 using Soluvit N, the doctor may order regular blood tests to check the patient's health.
Soluvit N contains 60 μg of biotin per vial (i.e., 6.0 μg per 1 ml after dilution). If the patient is to undergo laboratory tests, they should inform their doctor or laboratory staff that they have recently taken Soluvit N, as biotin may interfere with the results of such tests.
Depending on the test, the results may be falsely elevated or falsely low due to the presence of biotin.
The doctor may recommend stopping the use of Soluvit N before performing laboratory tests. It should also be remembered that other products that may be taken, such as multivitamin preparations or dietary supplements used to improve the condition of hair, skin, and nails, may also contain biotin and affect the results of laboratory tests. If the patient is taking such products, they should inform their doctor or laboratory staff.
Soluvit N and other medicines
The patient should tell their doctor or pharmacist about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take.
The doctor should be informed:
- 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 taking hydroxocobalamin intravenously (a medicine used to treat vitamin B deficiency and certain eye diseases).
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, thinks they may be pregnant, or plans to have a child, they should consult their doctor before using this medicine.
The doctor will decide whether to use Soluvit N in women during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Driving and using machines
Soluvit N has no influence or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines.

Using a higher dose of Soluvit N than recommended
