Dose Adjustments

Rarely, a dosage of 2 mg/day may be required, particularly in patients with malabsorption, alcoholism, chronic hemolysis, chronic exfoliative skin disease or who are on concomitant anticonvulsant therapy.

Dialysis

Folic Acid (Biovit Multivitamin) is removed by both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. The amount removed varies with type equipment used.

Because folate may accumulate in patients with end-stage renal disease, side effects may be more likely in this patient who is undergoing dialysis. Once this patient's body stores of folate are replete, three times a week dosing may be just as beneficial as once daily dosing but should portend a lower risk of side effects.

Other Comments

The recommended daily allowance of Folic Acid (Biovit Multivitamin) for adult males and females ranges from 150 to 200 and 150 to 180 mcg/day, respectively.

There is a potential danger in administering Folic Acid (Biovit Multivitamin) to patients with undiagnosed anemia, since Folic Acid (Biovit Multivitamin) may obscure the diagnosis of pernicious anemia by alleviating the hematologic manifestations of the disease while allowing the neurologic complications to progress.

Severe megaloblastic anemia may require therapy for 4 to 5 weeks. Once stabilized, if dietary intake is inadequate, maintenance therapy can be started.

Medications that interfere with your bodys ability to use folate may also increase the need for this vitamin. Medications can interfere with folate utilization, including: anticonvulsant medications (such as phenytoin, and primidone) metformin (sometimes prescribed to control blood sugar in type 2 diabetes) sulfasalazine (used to control inflammation associated with Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis) triamterene (a diuretic) Methotrexate There has been concern about the interaction between vitamin B12 and Folic Acid (Biovit Multivitamin). Folic Acid (Biovit Multivitamin) supplements can correct the anemia associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. Unfortunately, Folic Acid (Biovit Multivitamin) will not correct changes in the nervous system that result from vitamin B12 deficiency. Permanent nerve damage could theoretically occur if vitamin B12 deficiency is not treated. Therefore, intake of supplemental Folic Acid (Biovit Multivitamin) should not exceed 1000 micrograms (g, sometimes mcg) per day to prevent Folic Acid (Biovit Multivitamin) from masking symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency. It is important for older adults to be aware of the relationship between Folic Acid (Biovit Multivitamin) and vitamin B12 because they are at greater risk of having a vitamin B12 deficiency. If you are 50 years of age or older, ask your physician to check your B12 status before you take a supplement that contains Folic Acid (Biovit Multivitamin).

Dosage of Iron (Biovit Multivitamin) in details

Film-Coated Tablet: Treatment of Iron Deficiency with Reduced Number of Red Blood Cells in Adults and Children over 12 Years: 1 to 3 tablets once daily or divided into separate doses for about 3 to 5 months.

After normalisation of the red blood pigment (haemoglobin) value, continue with 1 tablet once daily for several weeks. This will replenish the iron stores.

Treatment of Iron Deficiency with Reduced Number of Red Blood Cells in Pregnancy: 2 to 3 tablets once daily or divided into separate doses.

After normalisation of the red blood pigment value, continue with 1 tablet once daily until, at least, the end of pregnancy. This will replenish the iron stores and provide the increased amount of iron required during pregnancy.

Treatment of Iron Deficiency with Normal Number of Red Blood Cells in Adults, Pregnancy, and Children over 12 years, and Prevention of Iron Deficiency in Pregnancy: 1 tablet once daily for 1 to 2 months.

Syrup: Adults: 5 mL 2 to 3 times daily before meals.

Children: 5 mL 1 to 2 times daily before meals.

Infants: Begin with 2.5 mL daily and gradually increase to 5 mL daily.

Drops: Adults: 20 drops 2 to 3 times daily during or after a meal.

Children: 20 drops 1 to 2 times daily during or after a meal.

Infants: Begin with 6 drops daily and gradually increase to 20 drops daily.

Iron (Biovit Multivitamin) may be mixed with fruit, vegetable juices or other liquids if desired.

Best results are obtained by adequate dosage and regular administration. It is recommended that the therapy in conformity to the degree of iron deficiency should be continued for at least 1 to 2 months.

Administration: Take Iron (Biovit Multivitamin) during or immediately after meal.

Duration of use depends upon the degree of iron deficiency.

Do not discontinue sooner than recommended as this may reduce the success of therapy.

Drug interactions were not noted and were not studied in clinical studies.

Feridex I.V. (ferumoxides injectable solution) administration provides elemental iron. In patients who are receiving supplemental iron orally or parenterally, the dose of supplemental iron may need to be decreased.

The effect of concomitant parenteral iron on Feridex I.V. dosing is not known.

Laboratory Test Findings

Serum iron levels may be above the normal range following Feridex I.V. (ferumoxides injectable solution) administration. Transient increases in serum iron of 15–100% of baseline were observed 18 to 24 hours after Feridex I.V. (ferumoxides injectable solution) administration, and returned to normal in most patients by 7 days after administration. Increases in serum ferritin levels were seen 1 to 7 days after administration.

In a Phase 1 study in normal subjects, PTT was statistically significantly increased; however, all values were within the normal range and no subjects had a more than 40% increase from baseline. In clinical trials of patients who had baseline hematologic abnormalities associated with underlying liver disease, an effect of Feridex I.V. (ferumoxides injectable solution) on platelet or PTT was not demonstrated. In patients with low hematocrit and hemoglobin, over a period of 48 hours to 7 days after Feridex I.V. (ferumoxides injectable solution), the serum iron, the hematocrit and hemoglobin levels increase slightly.

Vitamin B6 (Biovit Multivitamin) interactions

Interactions for Vitamin B6 (Biovit Multivitamin)

Amiodarone: Concomitant use of Vitamin B6 (Biovit Multivitamin) and amiodarone may enhance amiodarone-induced photosensitivity reactions. Doses of Vitamin B6 (Biovit Multivitamin) greater than 5-10 milligrams/day should be avoided by those taking amiodarone Carbamazepine: Chronic use of carbamazepine may result in a significant decrease in plasma pyridoxal 5-phosphate levels Cycloserine: Cycloserine may react with pyridoxal 5-phosphate to form a metabolically inactive oxime, which may result in a functional Vitamin B6 (Biovit Multivitamin) deficiency Ethionamide: The use of ethionamide may increase Vitamin B6 (Biovit Multivitamin) requirements Fosphenytoin: High doses of Vitamin B6 (Biovit Multivitamin) may lower plasma levels of phenytoin. Fosphenytoin is a prodrug of phenytoin Hydralazine: The use of hydralazine may increase Vitamin B6 (Biovit Multivitamin) requirements Isoniazid: (isonicotinic acid, INH). Isoniazid reacts with pyridoxal 5-phosphate to form a metabolically inactive hydrazone, which may result in functional Vitamin B6 (Biovit Multivitamin) deficiency Levodopa: Concomitant use of levodopa and Vitamin B6 (Biovit Multivitamin) in doses of 5 milligrams or more daily may reverse the therapeutic effects of levodopa. Vitamin B6 (Biovit Multivitamin) does not reverse the therapeutic effects of levodopa if levodopa is taken concurrently with the levodopa decarboxylase inhibitor carbidopa. Levodopa is typically administered as a combination product with carbidopa

Oral contraceptives: The use of oral contraceptives may increase Vitamin B6 (Biovit Multivitamin) requirements. This was more the case with the older oral contraceptive agents with high-dose estrogen/progestin. It appears to be less the case with the newer low-dose estrogen/progestin products Penicillamine: Penicillamine may react with pyridoxal 5-phosphate to form a metabolically inactive thiazolidine, which may result in a functional Vitamin B6 (Biovit Multivitamin) deficiency Phenelzine: Phenelzine may react with pyridoxal 5-phosphate to yield a metabolically inactive hydrazone compound Phenobarbital: High doses of Vitamin B6 (Biovit Multivitamin) may lower plasma levels of phenobarbital Phenytoin: High doses of Vitamin B6 (Biovit Multivitamin) may lower plasma levels of phenytoin Theophylline: Theophylline may react with pyridoxal 5-phosphate leading to low plasma levels of the coenzyme. This may increase the risk of theophylline-induced seizures Valproic acid: Chronic use of valproic acid may result in a significant decrease in plasma pyridoxal 5-phosphate levels.

Dosage of Vitamin C (Biovit Multivitamin) in details

This medication administered orally, IM, IV, intravaginally.

For the prevention of deficiency conditions Vitamin C (Biovit Multivitamin) dose is 25-75 mg / day, for the treatment - 250 mg / day or more in divided doses.

For intravaginal used ascorbic acid drugs in appropriate dosage forms.

What other drugs will affect Vitamin C (Biovit Multivitamin)?

Other drugs may interact with ascorbic acid, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Tell each of your health care providers about all medicines you use now and any medicine you start or stop using.

Vitamin C (Biovit Multivitamin) interactions

In an application with barbiturates, primidone increases the excretion of ascorbic acid in the urine.

With the simultaneous use of oral contraceptives reduces the concentration of ascorbic acid in blood plasma.

In an application of Vitamin C (Biovit Multivitamin) with iron preparations ascorbic acid, due to its regenerative properties, transforms ferric iron in the bivalent, which improves its absorption.

Ascorbic acid in high doses can decrease urine pH that while the application reduces the tubular reabsorption of amphetamine and tricyclic antidepressants.

With the simultaneous use of aspirin reduces the absorption of ascorbic acid by about a third.

Vitamin C (Biovit Multivitamin) in an application with warfarin may decrease effects of warfarin.

With the simultaneous application of ascorbic acid increases the excretion of iron in patients receiving deferoxamine. In the application of ascorbic acid at a dose of 500 mg / day possibly left ventricular dysfunction.

In an application with tetracycline is increased excretion of ascorbic acid in the urine.

There is a described case of reducing the concentration of fluphenazine in plasma in patients treated with ascorbic acid 500 mg 2 times / day.

May increase the concentration of ethinyl estradiol in the blood plasma in its simultaneous application in the oral contraceptives.

Dosage of Vitamin D3 (Biovit Multivitamin) in details

1 tab daily.

What other drugs will affect Vitamin D3 (Biovit Multivitamin)?

Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to use cholecalciferol if you are also using any of the following drugs:

This list is not complete. Other drugs may interact with cholecalciferol, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Not all possible interactions are listed in this medication guide.

Vitamin D3 (Biovit Multivitamin) interactions

Interactions for vitamin D analogues (Vitamin D2, Vitamin D3 (Biovit Multivitamin), Calcitriol, and Calcidiol)

Cholestyramine

Cholestyramine has been reported to reduce intestinal absorption of fat soluble vitamins; as such it may impair intestinal absorption of any of vitamin D

Phenytoin/Phenobarbital

The coadministration of phenytoin or phenobarbital will not affect plasma concentrations of vitamin D, but may reduce endogenous plasma levels of calcitriol/ergocalcitriol by accelerating metabolism. Since blood level of calcitriol/ergocalcitriol will be reduced, higher doses of Rocaltrol may be necessary if these drugs are administered simultaneously

Thiazides

Thiazides are known to induce hypercalcemia by the reduction of calcium excretion in urine. Some reports have shown that the concomitant administration of thiazides with vitamin D causes hypercalcemia. Therefore, precaution should be taken when coadministration is necessary

Digitalis

Vitamin D dosage must be determined with care in patients undergoing treatment with digitalis, as hypercalcemia in such patients may precipitate cardiac arrhythmias

Ketoconazole

Ketoconazole may inhibit both synthetic and catabolic enzymes of vitamin D. Reductions in serum endogenous vitamin D concentrations have been observed following the administration of 300 mg/day to 1200 mg/day ketoconazole for a week to healthy men. However, in vivo drug interaction studies of ketoconazole with vitamin D have not been investigated

Corticosteroids

A relationship of functional antagonism exists between vitamin D analogues, which promote calcium absorption, and corticosteroids, which inhibit calcium absorption

Phosphate-Binding Agents

Since vitamin D also has an effect on phosphate transport in the intestine, kidneys and bones, the dosage of phosphate-binding agents must be adjusted in accordance with the serum phosphate concentration

Vitamin D

The coadministration of any of the vitamin D analogues should be avoided as this could create possible additive effects and hypercalcemia

Calcium Supplements

Uncontrolled intake of additional calcium-containing preparations should be avoided

Magnesium

Magnesium-containing preparations (eg, antacids) may cause hypermagnesemia and should therefore not be taken during therapy with vitamin D by patients on chronic renal dialysis.
