About AQUASOL A

What is this medication?

AQUASOL A is a prescription medication that provides a concentrated form of Vitamin A, specifically formulated as a water-miscible preparation. It is primarily used to treat and prevent severe Vitamin A deficiency in patients who cannot take oral medications or who have difficulty absorbing nutrients through the digestive system. This injectable form ensures that the body receives an adequate supply of the vitamin directly into the bloodstream to address urgent health needs.

This medication plays a critical role in supporting vision, immune health, and the maintenance of skin and mucous membranes. It is frequently prescribed for patients suffering from conditions such as night blindness or xerophthalmia, which occur when Vitamin A levels are dangerously low. By restoring proper levels of this essential nutrient, AQUASOL A helps protect the eyes from damage and supports the overall growth and repair of bodily tissues.

Prescribing information

From the FDA-approved label for AQUASOL A. Official source: DailyMed (NLM) · Label effective Aug 14, 2020

Indications and usage

INDICATIONS Vitamin A injection is effective for the treatment of vitamin A deficiency. The parenteral administration is indicated when the oral administration is not feasible as in anorexia, nausea, vomiting, pre- and postoperative conditions, or it is not available as in the "Malabsorption Syndrome" with accompanying steatorrhea. Pediatric Use: Vitamin A treatment for deficiency states has been recognized as an especially effective and important therapy in the pediatric population. Vitamin A supplementation for deficiency states in this population has been addressed by the Committee on Clinical Practice Issues of the American Society for Clinical Nutrition, by the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, and by the World Health Organization.

Dosage and administration

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For intramuscular use. I. Adults 100,000 Units daily for three days followed by 50,000 Units daily for two weeks. II. Pediatric patients 1 to 8 years old 17,500 to 35,000 Units daily for 10 days. III. Infants 7,500 to 15,000 Units daily for 10 days. Follow-up therapy with an oral therapeutic multivitamin preparation, containing 10,000 to 20,000 Units vitamin A for adults and for pediatric patients over 8 years old, and 5,000 to 10,000 Units for infants and other pediatric patients under 8 years old, is recommended daily for two months. Low birth-weight infants may require additional vitamin A though the exact dosing in these pediatric patients has not been established. In malabsorption, the parenteral route must be used for an equivalent preparation. Poor dietary habits should be corrected and an abundant and well-balanced dietary intake should be prescribed.

Contraindications

CONTRAINDICATIONS The intravenous administration. Hypervitaminosis A. Sensitivity to any of the ingredients in this preparation. Use in Pregnancy: Safety of amounts exceeding 6,000 Units of vitamin A daily during pregnancy has not been established at this time. The use of vitamin A in excess of the recommended dietary allowance may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Animal reproduction studies have shown fetal abnormalities associated with overdosage in several species. Malformations of the central nervous system, the eye, the palate, and the urogenital tract are recorded. Vitamin A in excess of the recommended dietary allowance is contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant. If vitamin A is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking vitamin A, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus.

Warnings

WARNINGS Avoid overdosage. Keep out of the reach of children. Pediatric Use: Polysorbates have been associated with E-Ferol syndrome (thrombocytopenia, renal dysfunction, hepatomegaly, cholestasis, ascites, hypotension and metabolic acidosis) in low birthweight infants.

Adverse reactions

ADVERSE REACTIONS See OVERDOSAGE section. Anaphylactic shock and death have been reported using the intravenous route. Allergic reactions have been reported rarely with administration of AQUASOL A TM Parenteral including one case of an anaphylactoid type reaction.
