M.V.I. ADULT (PHARMACY BULK PACKAGE) vs MULTRYS
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
M.V.I. Adult is a multivitamin formulation providing essential vitamins that serve as cofactors in various enzymatic reactions and metabolic pathways. Vitamin A is essential for vision and cell differentiation; B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12) act as coenzymes in energy metabolism, red blood cell production, and nerve function; Vitamin C is an antioxidant and cofactor for collagen synthesis; Vitamin D regulates calcium homeostasis; Vitamin E is an antioxidant; and Vitamin K is required for hepatic synthesis of clotting factors.
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.
10 mL intravenously once daily, added to 500 mL of compatible infusion fluid and administered over 8-24 hours.
10 mL (one vial) intravenously three times per week, not to exceed 10 mL per dose.

Variable; thiamine (B1) ~9-18 min; riboflavin (B2) ~66-84 min; pyridoxine (B6) ~15-20 days; ascorbic acid (C) ~16-20 days (in deficiency states) or ~10-14 days (normal); retinol (A) ~2-3 days; ergocalciferol (D2) ~19-48 hours; alpha-tocopherol (E) ~40-60 hours; phytonadione (K1) ~1-2 hours.
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 excretion of water-soluble vitamins (B-complex, C); bile/fecal elimination of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K). Approximate percentages: Vitamins B1, B2, B6, C: >90% renal; Vitamin A: 70% fecal, 30% renal metabolites; Vitamin D: 75% fecal, 25% renal; Vitamin E: >60% fecal; Vitamin K: 50% fecal, 50% renal.
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%).
