Soluvit N Special Precautions

Soluvit N must not be given undiluted.
When Soluvit N is diluted with water-based solutions, the admixture should be protected from light. This is not necessary if Soluvit N is diluted with Intralipid because of the protective effect of the fat emulsion.
Interference with clinical laboratory tests: Biotin may interfere with laboratory tests that are based on a biotin/streptavidin interaction, leading to either falsely decreased or falsely increased test results, depending on the assay. The risk of interference is higher in children and patients with renal impairment and increases with higher doses. When interpreting results of laboratory tests, possible biotin interference has to be taken into consideration, especially if a lack of coherence with the clinical presentation is observed (e.g. thyroid test results mimicking Graves' disease in asymptomatic patients taking biotin or false negative troponin test results in patients with myocardial infarction taking biotin). Alternative tests not susceptible to biotin interference should be used, if available, in cases where interference is suspected. The laboratory personnel should be consulted when ordering laboratory tests in patients taking biotin.
