Dosage (Posology) and method of administration

Important Preparation and Administration Instructions
  • Ascorbic acid (Septiva) vials contain 25, 000 mg of Ascorbic acid (Septiva) and the largest recommended single dose is 200 mg. Do not give the entire contents of the vial to a single patient.
  • Do not administer Ascorbic acid (Septiva) as an undiluted intravenous sensitive.
  • Minimize exposure to light because Ascorbic acid (Septiva) is light sensitive.
  • Ascorbic acid (Septiva) is supplied as a Pharmacy Bulk Package (PBP) which is intended for dispensing of single doses to multiple patients in a pharmacy admixture program and is restricted to the preparation of admixtures for infusion:

a. Use only in a suitable ISO Class 5 work area such as a laminar flow hood (or an equivalent clean air compounding area)

b. Penetrate each PBP vial closure only one time with a suitable sterile transfer device or dispensing set that allows measured dispensing of the contents. Given that pressure may develop within the vial during storage, excercise caution when withdrawing contents from the vial.

c. Once the closure system has been penetrated, complete all dispensing from the PBP vial within 4 hours. Each dose must be used immediately. Discard unused portion.

d. Prior to administration, Ascorbic acid (Septiva) must be diluted in a suitable infusion solution and the final solution for infusion must be isotonic (undiluted the osmolarity of Ascorbic acid (Septiva) is approximately 5,900 mOsmol/L). Prior to preparing the admixture for infusion, calculate the osmolarity of the intended admixture for infusion. Add one daily dose of Ascorbic acid (Septiva) directly to an appropriate volume of a suitable infusion solution (e.g., 5% Dextrose Injection, Sterile Water for Injection) and add appropriate solutes, as necessary, to make final solution isotonic. Sterile Water for Injection is highly hypotonic; adjust solute content, as necessary, to make thet final infusion solution isotonic prior to injection. Do not mix Ascorbic acid (Septiva) with solutions containing elemental compounds that can be reduced (e.g., copper). The concentration of Ascorbic acid (Septiva) in the final, admixture solution for infusion is to be the range of 1 to 25 mg of Ascorbic acid (Septiva) per mL. For example, for the largest recommended dose:

Add 200 mg of Ascorbic acid (Septiva) (equivalent to 0.4 mL of Ascorbic acid (Septiva)) to 7.5 mL of Sterile Water for Injection to produce an infusion solution having an approximate osmolarity of 290 mOsmol/L. In this specific example, addition of solute is NOT necessary because the solution is isotonic.

e. Prepare the recommended dose based on the patient population [ see Dosage and Administration (2.2), (2.3)].

f. Visually inspect for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration (the diluted Ascorbic acid (Septiva) solution should appear colorless to pale yellow).

g. Immediately administer the admixture for infusion as a slow intravenous infusion [ see Recommended Dosage, (2.2)]

Recommended Dosage

Table 1 provides recommended doses of Ascorbic acid (Septiva) based on patient population and infusion rates of diluted Ascorbic acid (Septiva) solution.

The recommended maximum duration of daily treatment with Ascorbic acid (Septiva) is seven days. If no improvement in scorbutic symptoms is observed after one week of treatment, retreat until resolution of scorbutic symptoms is observed.

Repeat dosing is not recommended in pediatric patients less than 11 years of age.

Dosage Reductions in Specific Populations

Women who are pregnant or lactating and patients with glucose-6-dehydrogenase deficiency should not exceed the U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) or daily Adequate Intake (AI) level for Ascorbic acid (Septiva) for their age group and condition [ ​ see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.2)].

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 (Septiva) 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 (Septiva) 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 (Septiva) to patients with undiagnosed anemia, since Folic acid (Septiva) 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.

Tablet: Adults: Usual Daily Dose: 3 tabs, equivalent to a total of 1500 mcg of mecobalamin, administered orally in 3 divided doses. The dose should be adjusted according to age of patient and severity of symptoms.

Injection: Peripheral Neuropathies: The usual adult dosage is 1 amp, equivalent to 500 mcg of mecobalamin administered IM or IV 3 times a week. The dosage should be adjusted according to age of patient and severity of symptoms.

Megaloblastic Anemia: The usual adult dosage is 1 amp, equivalent to 500 mcg of mecobalamin administered IM or IV 3 times a week. After approximately 2 months of medication, the dose should be reduced to a single administration of 1 amp at 1- to 3-month intervals for maintenance therapy.

What other drugs will affect Folic acid (Septiva)?

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 (Septiva). Folic acid (Septiva) supplements can correct the anemia associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. Unfortunately, Folic acid (Septiva) 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 (Septiva) should not exceed 1000 micrograms (g, sometimes mcg) per day to prevent Folic acid (Septiva) from masking symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency. It is important for older adults to be aware of the relationship between Folic acid (Septiva) 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 (Septiva).

There are no known significant interactions.
