The total vitamin amounts from all sources such as nutritional sources, other vitamin supplements, or medications that contain vitamins as inactive ingredients (see Interactions) should be considered.
The patient's clinical status and vitamin levels should be monitored to ensure maintenance of adequate levels.
It should be taken into account that some vitamins, especially A, B2, and B6 are sensitive to ultraviolet light (e.g., direct or indirect sun light). In addition, loss of vitamins A, B1, C, and E may increase with higher levels of oxygen in the solution. These factors should be considered if adequate vitamin levels are not achieved.
