M.V.C. 9+3 vs MULTRYS
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
M.V.C. 9+3 is a multivitamin supplement providing essential vitamins and minerals that serve as cofactors in various metabolic reactions, including energy production, DNA synthesis, and cellular function. The specific components include B-vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, biotin, folic acid, cyanocobalamin, ascorbic acid) and vitamins A, D, E, and K, which act as antioxidants, support immune function, and are required for normal growth and development.
MULTRYS is a multivitamin preparation for intravenous infusion; its components serve as coenzymes or cofactors in various metabolic pathways, including energy production, red blood cell formation, and antioxidant defense.
1 vial (10 mL) intravenously over at least 30 minutes daily, or as directed by vitamin and mineral requirements.
10 mL (one vial) intravenously three times per week, not to exceed 10 mL per dose.

Variable per component: thiamine 1-2 h, pyridoxine 15-20 h, cyanocobalamin 6 days (plasma); clinical depletion: weeks to months for stores.
Not applicable as a single entity; values vary by component. For example: thiamine 10-20 minutes (plasma), riboflavin 1-2 hours, vitamin B6 2-3 weeks (tissue stores), vitamin C 16 days (10-20 days for depletion), biotin 1-2 days, folic acid 3-4 hours (plasma), vitamin B12 4-5 days (plasma), zinc 2-3 days (plasma), copper 12-24 hours, selenium 11-20 days, chromium 0.5-1 day, manganese 5-10 days.
Renal: 10-70% (B vitamins, ascorbic acid, electrolytes); fecal: minimal (trace unabsorbed components). Biliary: negligible.
Renal elimination of individual vitamins and trace elements varies; no intact drug is excreted, as MULTRYS is a mixture. Approximate ranges: thiamine 50% unchanged in urine, riboflavin 60-70% as metabolites in urine, vitamin B6 70-80% as 4-pyridoxic acid in urine, vitamin C 50% unchanged in urine, biotin 50% unchanged in urine, folic acid mainly as metabolites in urine, vitamin B12 via bile (50-60%) and urine (10-30%). Trace elements: zinc primarily fecal (90%), copper primarily fecal (80-90%), selenium primarily urine (50-60%), chromium primarily urine (80%), manganese primarily fecal (95-97%).
