8 Use in Specific Populations

8.1 Pregnancy

PLLR Conversion

Risk Summary

Administration of the approved recommended dose of INFUVITE PEDIATRIC in parental nutrition is not expected to cause major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Pregnant patients should follow the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowances for pregnancy because their vitamin requirements may exceed those of nonpregnant patients. Deficiency of essential vitamins may result in adverse pregnancy outcomes (see Clinical Considerations).

Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with INFUVITE PEDIATRIC.

The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15- 20%, respectively.

Clinical Considerations

Disease-associated Maternal and/or Embryo-Fetal Risk

Deficiency of essential vitamins has been associated with adverse pregnancy and fetal outcomes, such as maternal folic acid deficiency and an increased risk of neural tube defects. Therefore, parenteral nutrition with multiple vitamins injection should be considered if a pregnant patient’s nutritional requirements cannot be fulfilled by oral or enteral intake.

8.2 Lactation

Risk Summary

Multiple vitamins present in INFUVITE PEDIATRIC are also present in human milk. Administration of the approved recommended dose of Infuvite Pediatric in parental nutrition is not expected to cause harm to a breastfed infant. There is no information on the effects of Infuvite Pediatric on milk production. Lactating patients should follow the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowances for their condition, because their vitamin requirements may exceed those of nonlactating patients. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for INFUVITE PEDIATRIC and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from INFUVITE PEDIATRIC or from the underlying maternal condition.
