INFUVITE PEDIATRIC vs M.V.I. PEDIATRIC
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
INFUVITE PEDIATRIC is a multivitamin preparation that provides essential vitamins (A, B complex, C, D, E, K, and folic acid) that act as cofactors and coenzymes in various metabolic pathways, including energy production, protein and nucleic acid synthesis, and antioxidant defense.
Multivitamin preparation providing essential vitamins (A, C, D, E, K, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12) as cofactors for enzymatic reactions, antioxidant functions, and maintenance of normal metabolic processes.
INFUVITE PEDIATRIC is not indicated for adult use; adult multivitamin formulations are recommended.
Intravenous infusion: 5 mL (1 vial) added to appropriate IV fluid, administered over 30 minutes daily.

Terminal half-life varies by vitamin: thiamine ~20-30 min; riboflavin ~1.3 h; pyridoxine ~2-3 h; ascorbic acid ~16 d; retinol (vitamin A) ~6-18 h; ergocalciferol (D2) ~2-3 d; alpha-tocopherol (E) ~12 h; phytonadione (K1) ~6-8 h. Clinical context: rapid clearance of water-soluble vitamins necessitates daily dosing; fat-soluble vitamins accumulate with repeated dosing.
Variable; vitamin A: 9-25 days (stored in liver), vitamin D: 2-3 weeks (fat-soluble), vitamin C: 10-20 hours (renal function dependent), B-complex: 1-10 hours. Clinical context: accumulation risk in renal impairment.
Excretion of vitamins in Infuvite Pediatric is primarily renal for water-soluble vitamins (B-complex and C), with negligible biliary/fecal elimination. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) are not readily excreted; small amounts may appear in bile/faeces. Specific %: not available due to extensive metabolism and tissue storage.
Renal: 60-80% (free vitamins), Biliary/fecal: 10-20% (unabsorbed and metabolites).
