  • If you are allergic to egg protein.
  • This medicine contains soybean oil. It must not be used in case of peanut or soy allergy.
  • If you are allergic to any of the liposoluble vitamins it contains or to any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and Precautions

Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before Vitalipid Infantil is administered to you.

This medicine contains soybean oil. It must not be used in case of peanut or soy allergy.

Cross-allergic reactions have been observed between soy and peanuts.

Other Medicines and Vitalipid Infantil

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or might use any other medicines.

Rarely, interactions of liposoluble vitamins with other components in parenteral nutrition regimens have been reported.

Anticoagulant and antiplatelet medicines (which prevent clot formation) administered at the same time as vitamin A in high doses may increase the risk of bleeding.

Minocycline (an antibiotic) administered at the same time as vitamin A in high doses and for a prolonged period may have a higher risk of causing benign intracranial hypertension.

The presence of oligoelements (chemical elements needed in small quantities in the body) may cause some degradation of vitamin A.

Vitamin K1 interacts with coumarin-type anticoagulants (such as acenocoumarol or warfarin).

If you use more Vitalipid Infantil than you should

Overdose of liposoluble vitamins can lead to toxicity syndromes, although there is no evidence of toxicity at the recommended doses.

If Vitalipid Infantil is administered at the recommended dose in a complete parenteral nutrition regimen, no signs or symptoms of intoxication should appear. No specific treatment is necessary.

After prolonged infusion with overdose of Vitamin D, elevated serum concentrations of Vitamin D metabolites may appear. This can cause osteopenia (decrease in bone mineral density).

Rapid infusion of Vitamin K1 in aqueous colloidal solution can cause flushing, bronchospasm, tachycardia, and hypotension. These disorders have not been reported after infusions with Vitalipid Infantil.

If you have any other questions about the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Instructions for Correct Administration

Vitalipid Infantil must not be administered undiluted. All additions must be made aseptically.

Up to 10 ml (1 ampoule) of Vitalipid Infantil should be added to Intralipid 200 mg/ml or other lipid emulsions whose compatibility has been previously studied. To ensure a homogeneous mixture, the bottle should be inverted a couple of times immediately before infusion.

In children over 10 kg body weight, Vitalipid Infantil can be used to dissolve Soluvit. In children under 10 kg body weight, dissolution with Soluvit is not recommended due to differences in dosing regimens.

In case of dissolution with Soluvit: The contents of one Soluvit ampoule should be dissolved by adding 10 ml of Vitalipid Infantil and then added to Intralipid or the lipid emulsion whose compatibility has been previously studied.

When used in newborns and children under 2 years, the solution (in bags and administration equipment) should be protected from light exposure until administration is completed.

Special Precautions for Use:

Exposure to light of parenteral nutrition solutions for intravenous use, especially after mixing with oligoelements or vitamins, can have adverse effects on the clinical outcome of newborns due to the generation of peroxides and other degradation products. When used in newborns and children under 2 years, Vitalipid Infantil should be protected from ambient light until administration is completed.

Incompatibilities

Vitalipid Infantil can only be added to or mixed with medicinal products whose compatibility has been documented.

Stability

The addition of Vitalipid Infantil to Intralipid 200 mg/ml should be made one hour before the start of infusion, and it should be used within 24 hours of preparation to prevent microbial contamination. The remaining contents of the bottles/vials/ampoules should be discarded and cannot be used again.

Special Precautions for Disposal and Other Handling:

When used in newborns and children under 2 years, it should be protected from light exposure until administration is completed. Exposure of Vitalipid Infantil to ambient light, especially after mixing with oligoelements or vitamins, generates peroxides and other degradation products that can be reduced by protecting the product from light exposure.
