MVI Adult Dosage

Directions for Dual Vial

Dilute the contents of Vial 1 (5 mL) and the contents of Vial 2 (5 mL) in not less than 500 mL infusion fluid, both vials to be used for a single dose. The Vial 1 and Vial 2 container closures may be penetrated only one time, utilizing a suitable sterile transfer device or dispensing set, which allows measured distribution of the contents.

The withdrawal of container contents should be accomplished without delay. The solution should be administered within 4 hours after dilution.

Use of this product is restricted to a suitable work area, such as a laminar flow hood.

M.V.I. Adult should not be given as a direct, undiluted intravenous injection as it may give rise to dizziness, faintness, and possible tissue irritation.

Directions for Unit-Vial

Gently agitate to mix solution. Sterilize the rubber stopper in the usual manner and insert needle squarely through the center of the plunger-stopper until tip is just visible. Vial should be mixed just prior to use. Invert vial and withdraw a 10 mL dose in the usual manner. The mixed solution is ready for dilution in not less than 500 mL of infusion fluid. M.V.I. Adult should not be given as a direct, undiluted intravenous injection as it may give rise to dizziness, faintness, and possible tissue irritation.
