1. What SOLUVIT N is and What it is Used For
SOLUVIT N is a medicinal product containing water-soluble vitamins, administered intravenously when oral nutrition is impossible. 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 parenteral nutrition, together with proteins, fats, carbohydrates, salts, and other vitamins.
2. Important Information Before Using SOLUVIT N
When Not to Use SOLUVIT N
Do not use SOLUVIT N:
- if you are allergic to the active substances or to any of the other ingredients of this medicinal product (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 the 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 laboratory test results. If the patient is taking such products, they should inform the doctor or laboratory staff.
