13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

No carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or fertility studies have been conducted with Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Calcium (Calcium Phosphate Dihydrate)) acetate.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES

Effectiveness of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Calcium (Calcium Phosphate Dihydrate)) acetate in decreasing serum phosphorus has been demonstrated in two studies of the Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Calcium (Calcium Phosphate Dihydrate)) acetate solid oral dosage form.

Ninety-one patients with end-stage renal disease who were undergoing hemodialysis and were hyperphosphatemic (serum phosphorus >5.5 mg/dL) following a 1 week phosphate binder washout period contributed efficacy data to an open-label, non-randomized study.

The patients received Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Calcium (Calcium Phosphate Dihydrate)) acetate 667 mg tablets at each meal for a period of 12 weeks. The initial starting dose was 2 tablets per meal for 3 meals a day, and the dose was adjusted as necessary to control serum phosphorus levels. The average final dose after 12 weeks of treatment was 3.4 tablets per meal. Although there was a decrease in serum phosphorus, in the absence of a control group the true magnitude of effect is uncertain.

The data presented in Table 2 demonstrate the efficacy of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Calcium (Calcium Phosphate Dihydrate)) acetate in the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in end-stage renal disease patients. The effects on serum Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Calcium (Calcium Phosphate Dihydrate)) levels are also presented.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1 Pregnancy

Pregnancy Category B

Pregnancy Category B

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. In animal reproduction studies, Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women ) sucrose was administered intravenously to rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis at doses up to 13 mg/kg/day of elemental Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) (half or equivalent to the maximum recommended human dose based on body surface area, respectively) and revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus due to Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) sucrose. Because animal reproductive studies are not always predictive of human response, Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.

8.3 Nursing Mothers

It is not known whether Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) sucrose is excreted in human milk. Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) sucrose is secreted into the milk of lactating rats. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) is administered to a nursing woman.

8.4 Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women ) for Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) replacement treatment in pediatric patients with dialysis-dependent or non-dialysis-dependent CKD have not been established.

Safety and effectiveness of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) for Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) maintenance treatment in pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with dialysis-dependent or non-dialysis-dependent CKD receiving erythropoietin therapy were studied. Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) at doses of 0.5 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg, and 2.0 mg/kg was administered. All three doses maintained hemoglobin between 10.5 g/dL and 14.0 g/dL in about 50% of subjects over the 12-week treatment period with stable EPO dosing. [See Clinical Studies (14.6)]

Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) has not been studied in patients younger than 2 years of age.

In a country where Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) is available for use in children, at a single site, five premature infants (weight less than 1,250 g) developed necrotizing enterocolitis and two of the five died during or following a period when they received Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)), several other medications and erythropoietin. Necrotizing enterocolitis may be a complication of prematurity in very low birth weight infants. No causal relationship to Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) or any other drugs could be established.

8.5 Geriatric Use

Clinical studies of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 years and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Of the 1,051 patients in two post-marketing safety studies of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)), 40% were 65 years and older. No overall differences in safety were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. In general, dose administration to an elderly patient should be cautious, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.

10 OVERDOSAGE

No data are available regarding overdosage of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) in humans. Excessive dosages of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) may lead to accumulation of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) in storage sites potentially leading to hemosiderosis.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1 Mechanism of Action

Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women ) is an aqueous complex of poly-nuclear Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) (III)-hydroxide in sucrose. Following intravenous administration, Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) is dissociated into Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) and sucrose and the Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) is transported as a complex with transferrin to target cells including erythroid precursor cells. The Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) in the precursor cells is incorporated into hemoglobin as the cells mature into red blood cells.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics

Following intravenous administration, Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) is dissociated into Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) and sucrose. In 22 patients undergoing hemodialysis and receiving erythropoietin (recombinant human erythropoietin) therapy treated with Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) sucrose containing 100 mg of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)), three times weekly for three weeks, significant increases in serum Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) and serum ferritin and significant decreases in total Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) binding capacity occurred four weeks from the initiation of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) sucrose treatment.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics

In healthy adults administered intravenous doses of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women ), its Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) component exhibited first order kinetics with an elimination half-life of 6 h, total clearance of 1.2 L/h, and steady state apparent volume of distribution of 7.9 L. The Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) component appeared to distribute mainly in blood and to some extent in extravascular fluid. A study evaluating Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) containing 100 mg of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) labeled with 52Fe/59Fe in patients with Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) deficiency showed that a significant amount of the administered Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) is distributed to the liver, spleen and bone marrow and that the bone marrow is an irreversible Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) trapping compartment.

Following intravenous administration of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)), Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) sucrose is dissociated into Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) and sucrose. The sucrose component is eliminated mainly by urinary excretion. In a study evaluating a single intravenous dose of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) containing 1,510 mg of sucrose and 100 mg of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) in 12 healthy adults (9 female, 3 male: age range 32 to 52), 68.3% of the sucrose was eliminated in urine in 4 h and 75.4% in 24 h. Some Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) was also eliminated in the urine. Neither transferrin nor transferrin receptor levels changed immediately after the dose administration. In this study and another study evaluating a single intravenous dose of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) sucrose containing 500 to 700 mg of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) in 26 patients with anemia on erythropoietin therapy (23 female, 3 male; age range 16 to 60), approximately 5% of the Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) was eliminated in urine in 24 h at each dose level. The effects of age and gender on the pharmacokinetics of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) have not been studied.

14.3 Study C: Hemodialysis Dependent-Chronic Kidney Disease

Study C was a multicenter, open-label study in patients with HDD-CKD. This study enrolled patients with a hemoglobin ≤ 10 g/dL, a serum transferrin saturation ≤ 20%, and a serum ferritin ≤ 200 ng/mL, who were undergoing maintenance hemodialysis 2 to 3 times weekly. The mean age of the patients enrolled in this study was 41 years, with ages ranging from 16 to 70 years. Of 130 patients evaluated for efficacy in this study, 68 (52%) were male and 62 (48%) were female. Forty-eight percent of the patients had previously been treated with oral Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)). Exclusion criteria were similar to those in studies A and B. Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) was administered in doses of 100 mg during sequential dialysis sessions until a pre-determined (calculated) total dose of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) was administered. A 50 mg dose (2.5 mL) was given to patients within two weeks of study entry as a test dose. Twenty-seven patients (20%) were receiving erythropoietin treatment at study entry and they continued to receive the same erythropoietin dose for the duration of the study.

The modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population consisted of 131 patients. Increases from baseline in mean hemoglobin (1.7 g/dL), hematocrit (5%), serum ferritin (434.6 ng/mL), and serum transferrin saturation (14%) were observed at week 2 of the observation period and these values remained increased at week 4 of the observation period.

14.4 Study D: Non-Dialysis Dependent-Chronic Kidney Disease

Study D was a randomized, open-label, multicenter, active-controlled study of the safety and efficacy of oral Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) versus Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) in patients with NDD-CKD with or without erythropoietin therapy. Erythropoietin therapy was stable for 8 weeks prior to randomization. In the study 188 patients with NDD-CKD, hemoglobin of ≤ 11.0 g/dL, transferrin saturation ≤ 25%, ferritin ≤ 300 ng/mL were randomized to receive oral Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) (325 mg ferrous sulfate three times daily for 56 days); or Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) (either 200 mg over 2 to 5 minutes 5 times within 14 days or two 500 mg infusions on Day 1 and Day 14, administered over 3.5 to 4 hours). The mean age of the 91 treated patients in the Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) group was 61.6 years (range 25 to 86 years) and 64 years (range 21 to 86 years) for the 91 patients in the oral Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) group.

A statistically significantly greater proportion of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) subjects (35/79; 44.3%) compared to oral Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) subjects (23/82; 28%) had an increase in hemoglobin ≥ 1 g/dL at anytime during the study (p = 0.03).

14.5 Study E: Peritoneal Dialysis Dependent-Chronic Kidney Disease

Study E was a randomized, open-label, multicenter study comparing patients with PDD-CKD receiving an erythropoietin and intravenous Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) to patients with PDD-CKD receiving an erythropoietin alone without Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) supplementation. Patients with PDD-CKD, stable erythropoietin for 8 weeks, hemoglobin of ≤ 11.5 g/dL, TSAT ≤ 25%, ferritin ≤ 500 ng/mL were randomized to receive either no Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) or Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) (300 mg in 250 mL 0.9% NaCl over 1.5 hours on Day 1 and 15 and 400 mg in 250 mL 0.9% NaCl over 2.5 hours on Day 29). The mean age of the 75 treated patients in the Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) / erythropoietin group was 51.9 years (range 21 to 81 years) vs. 52.8 years (range 23 to 77 years) for 46 patients in the erythropoietin alone group.

Patients in the Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) / erythropoietin group had statistically significantly greater mean change from baseline to the highest hemoglobin value (1.3 g/dL), compared to subjects who received erythropoietin alone (0.6 g/dL) (p < 0.01). A greater proportion of subjects treated with Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) / erythropoietin (59.1 %) had an increase in hemoglobin of ≥ 1 g/dL at any time during the study compared to the subjects who received erythropoietin only (33.3%).

14.6 Study F: Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women ) Maintenance Treatment Dosing in Pediatric Patients Ages 2 years and Older with Chronic Kidney Disease

Study F was a randomized, open-label, dose-ranging study for Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) maintenance treatment in pediatric patients with dialysis-dependent or non-dialysis-dependent CKD on stable erythropoietin therapy. The study randomized patients to one of three doses of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) (0.5 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg or 2.0 mg/kg). The mean age was 13 years (range 2 to 20 years). Over 70% of patients were 12 years or older in all three groups. There were 84 males and 61 females. About 60% of patients underwent hemodialysis and 25% underwent peritoneal dialysis in all three dose groups. At baseline, the mean hemoglobin was 12 g/dL, the mean TSAT was 33% and the mean ferritin was 300 ng/mL. Patients with HDD-CKD received Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) once every other week for 6 doses. Patients with PDD-CKD or NDD-CKD received Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) once every 4 weeks for 3 doses. Among 131 evaluable patients with stable erythropoietin dosing, the proportion of patients who maintained hemoglobin between 10.5 g/dL and 14.0 g/dL during the 12-week treatment period was 58.7%, 46.7%, and 45.0% in the Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Iron (Ferrous Sulfate Hydrate)) 0.5 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg, and 2.0 mg/kg groups, respectively. A dose-response relationship was not demonstrated.

DESCRIPTION

Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) Sulfate Injection, USP is a sterile solution of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate heptahydrate in Water for Injection, USP administered by the intravenous or intramuscular routes as an electrolyte replenisher or anticonvulsant. Must be diluted before intravenous use. May contain sulfuric acid and/or sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment. The pH is 5.5 to 7.0. The 50% concentration has an osmolarity of 4.06 mOsmol/mL (calc.).

The solution contains no bacteriostat, antimicrobial agent or added buffer (except for pH adjustment) and is intended only for use as a single-dose injection. When smaller doses are required the unused portion should be discarded with the entire unit.

Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) Sulfate, USP heptahydrate is chemically designated MgSO4 - 7H2O with molecular weight of 246.48 and occurs as colorless crystals or white powder freely soluble in water.

The plastic syringe is molded from a specially formulated polypropylene. Water permeates from inside the container at an extremely slow rate which will have an insignificant effect on solution concentration over the expected shelf life. Solutions in contact with the plastic container may leach out certain chemical components from the plastic in very small amounts; however, biological testing was supportive of the safety of the syringe material.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) (Mg++) is an important cofactor for enzymatic reactions and plays an important role in neurochemical transmission and muscular excitability.

As a nutritional adjunct in hyperalimentation, the precise mechanism of action for Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) is uncertain. Early symptoms of hypomagnesemia (less than 1.5 mEq/liter) may develop as early as three to four days or within weeks.

Predominant deficiency effects are neurological, e.g., muscle irritability, clonic twitching and tremors. Hypocalcemia and hypokalemia often follow low serum levels of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)). While there are large stores of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) present intracellularly and in the bones of adults, these stores often are not mobilized sufficiently to maintain plasma levels. Parenteral Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) therapy repairs the plasma deficit and causes deficiency symptoms and signs to cease.

Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) prevents or controls convulsions by blocking neuromuscular transmission and decreasing the amount of acetylcholine liberated at the end plate by the motor nerve impulse. Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) is said to have a depressant effect on the central nervous system (CNS), but it does not adversely affect the woman, fetus or neonate when used as directed in eclampsia or pre-eclampsia. Normal plasma Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) levels range from 1.5 to 2.5 mEq/liter.

As plasma Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) rises above 4 mEq/liter, the deep tendon reflexes are first decreased and then disappear as the plasma level approaches 10 mEq/liter. At this level respiratory paralysis may occur. Heart block also may occur at this or lower plasma levels of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)). Serum Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) concentrations in excess of 12 mEq/L may be fatal.

Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) acts peripherally to produce vasodilation. With low doses only flushing and sweating occur, but larger doses cause lowering of blood pressure. The central and peripheral effects of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) poisoning are antagonized to some extent by intravenous administration of calcium.

Pharmacokinetics

With intravenous administration the onset of anticonvulsant action is immediate and lasts about 30 minutes. Following intramuscular administration the onset of action occurs in about one hour and persists for three to four hours. Effective anticonvulsant serum levels range from 2.5 to 7.5 mEq/liter. Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) is excreted solely by the kidneys at a rate proportional to the plasma concentration and glomerular filtration.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) Sulfate Injection, USP is suitable for replacement therapy in Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) deficiency, especially in acute hypomagnesemia accompanied by signs of tetany similar to those observed in hypocalcemia. In such cases, the serum Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) (Mg++) level is usually below the lower limit of normal (1.5 to 2.5 mEq/liter) and the serum calcium (Ca++) level is normal (4.3 to 5.3 mEq/liter) or elevated.

In total parenteral nutrition (TPN), Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate may be added to the nutrient admixture to correct or prevent hypomagnesemia which can arise during the course of therapy.

Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) Sulfate Injection, USP is also indicated for the prevention and control of seizures (convulsions) in pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, respectively.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Parenteral administration of the drug is contraindicated in patients with heart block or myocardial damage.

WARNINGS

FETAL HARM: Continuous administration of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate beyond 5 to 7 days to pregnant women can lead to hypocalcemia and bone abnormalities in the developing fetus. These bone abnormalities include skeletal demineralization and osteopenia. In addition, cases of neonatal fracture have been reported. The shortest duration of treatment that can lead to fetal harm is not known. Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. If Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate is given for treatment of preterm labor, the woman should be informed that the efficacy and safety of such use have not been established and that use of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate beyond 5 to 7 days may cause fetal abnormalities.

ALUMINUM TOXICITY: This product contains aluminum that may be toxic. Aluminum may reach toxic levels with prolonged parenteral administration if kidney function is impaired. Premature neonates are particularly at risk because their kidneys are immature, and they require large amounts of calcium and phosphate solutions, which contain aluminum.

Research indicates that patients with impaired kidney function, including premature neonates, who receive parenteral levels of aluminum at greater than 4 to 5 mcg/kg/day accumulate aluminum at levels associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity. Tissue loading may occur at even lower rates of administration.

Parenteral use in the presence of renal insufficiency may lead to Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) intoxication. Intravenous use in the eclampsia should be reserved for immediate control of life-threatening convulsions.

PRECAUTIONS

General

Administer with caution if flushing and sweating occurs. When barbiturates, narcotics or other hypnotics (or systemic anesthetics) are to be given in conjunction with Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)), their dosage should be adjusted with caution because of additive CNS depressant effects of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)).

Because Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) is removed from the body solely by the kidneys, the drug should be used with caution in patients with renal impairment. Urine output should be maintained at a level of 100 mL or more during the four hours preceding each dose. Monitoring serum Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) levels and the patient's clinical status is essential to avoid the consequences of overdosage in toxemia. Clinical indications of a safe dosage regimen include the presence of the patellar reflex (knee jerk) and absence of respiratory depression (approximately 16 breaths or more/minute). When repeated doses of the drug are given parenterally, knee jerk reflexes should be tested before each dose and if they are absent, no additional Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) should be given until they return. Serum Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) levels usually sufficient to control convulsions range from 3 to 6 mg/100 mL (2.5 to 5 mEq/liter). The strength of the deep tendon reflexes begins to diminish when Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) levels exceed 4 mEq/liter. Reflexes may be absent at 10 mEq magnesium/liter, where respiratory paralysis is a potential hazard. An injectable calcium salt should be immediately available to counteract the potential hazards of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) intoxication in eclampsia.

50% Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) Sulfate Injection, USP must be diluted to a concentration of 20% or less prior to intravenous infusion. Rate of administration should be slow and cautious, to avoid producing hypermagnesemia. The 50% solution also should be diluted to 20% or less for intramuscular injection in infants and children.

Laboratory Tests

Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate injection should not be given unless hypomagnesemia has been confirmed and the serum concentration of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) is monitored. The normal serum level is 1.5 to 2.5 mEq/L.

Drug Interactions

CNS Depressants - When barbiturates, narcotics or other hypnotics (or systemic anesthetics), or other CNS depressants are to be given in conjunction with Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)), their dosage should be adjusted with caution because of additive CNS depressant effects of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)). CNS depression and peripheral transmission defects produced by Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) may be antagonized by calcium.

Neuromuscular Blocking Agents - Excessive neuromuscular block has occurred in patients receiving parenteral Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate and a neuromuscular blocking agent; these drugs should be administered concomitantly with caution.

Cardiac Glycosides - Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate should be administered with extreme caution in digitalized patients, because serious changes in cardiac conduction which can result in heart block may occur if administration of calcium is required to treat Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) toxicity.

Pregnancy

Teratogenic Effects

Pregnancy Category D (See WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS )

See WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS .

Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate can cause fetal abnormalities when administered beyond 5 to 7 days to pregnant women. There are retrospective epidemiological studies and case reports documenting fetal abnormalities such as hypocalcemia, skeletal demineralization, osteopenia and other skeletal abnormalities with continuous maternal administration of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate for more than 5 to 7 days.1-10 Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate injection should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. If this drug is used during pregnancy, the woman should be apprised of the potential harm to the fetus.

Nonteratogenic Effects

When administered by continuous intravenous infusion (especially for more than 24 hours preceding delivery) to control convulsions in a toxemic woman, the newborn may show signs of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) toxicity, including neuromuscular or respiratory depression (See OVERDOSAGE ).

Labor and Delivery

Continuous administration of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate is an unapproved treatment for preterm labor. The safety and efficacy of such use have not been established. The administration of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate outside of its approved indication in pregnant women should be by trained obstetrical personnel in a hospital setting with appropriate obstetrical care facilities.

Nursing Mothers

Since Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) is distributed into milk during parenteral Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate administration, the drug should be used with caution in nursing women.

Geriatrics

Geriatric patients often require reduced dosage because of impaired renal function. In patients with severe impairment, dosage should not exceed 20 grams in 48 hours. Serum Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) should be monitored in such patients.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The adverse effects of parenterally administered Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) usually are the result of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) intoxication. These include flushing, sweating, hypotension, depressed reflexes, flaccid paralysis, hypothermia, circulatory collapse, cardiac and central nervous system depression proceeding to respiratory paralysis. Hypocalcemia with signs of tetany secondary to Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate therapy for eclampsia has been reported.

OVERDOSAGE

Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) intoxication is manifested by a sharp drop in blood pressure and respiratory paralysis. Disappearance of the patellar reflex is a useful clinical sign to detect the onset of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) intoxication. In the event of overdosage, artificial ventilation must be provided until a calcium salt can be injected intravenously to antagonize the effects of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)).

For Treatment of Overdose

Artificial respiration is often required. Intravenous calcium, 10 to 20 mL of a 5% solution (diluted if desirable with isotonic sodium chloride for injection) is used to counteract effects of hypermagnesemia. Subcutaneous physostigmine, 0.5 to 1 mg may be helpful.

Hypermagnesemia in the newborn may require resuscitation and assisted ventilation via endotracheal intubation or intermittent positive pressure ventilation as well as intravenous calcium.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

Dosage of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate must be carefully adjusted according to individual requirements and response, and administration of the drug should be discontinued as soon as the desired effect is obtained.

Both intravenous and intramuscular administration are appropriate. Intramuscular administration of the undiluted 50% solution results in therapeutic plasma levels in 60 minutes, whereas intravenous doses will provide a therapeutic level almost immediately. The rate of intravenous injection should generally not exceed 150 mg/minute (1.5 mL of a 10% concentration or its equivalent), except in severe eclampsia with seizures. Continuous maternal administration of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate in pregnancy beyond 5 to 7 days can cause fetal abnormalities.

Solutions for intravenous infusion must be diluted to a concentration of 20% or less prior to administration. The diluents commonly used are 5% Dextrose Injection, USP and 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP. Deep intramuscular injection of the undiluted (50%) solution is appropriate for adults, but the solution should be diluted to a 20% or less concentration prior to such injection in children.

In Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) Deficiency

In the treatment of mild Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) deficiency, the usual adult dose is 1 gram, equivalent to 8.12 mEq of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) (2 mL of the 50% solution) injected intramuscularly every six hours for four doses (equivalent to a total of 32.5 mEq of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) per 24 hours). For severe hypomagnesemia, as much as 250 mg (approximately 2 mEq) per kg of body weight (0.5 mL of the 50% solution) may be given intramuscularly within a period of four hours if necessary. Alternatively, 5 grams, (approximately 40 mEq) can be added to one liter of 5% Dextrose Injection, USP or 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP for slow intravenous infusion over a three-hour period. In the treatment of deficiency states, caution must be observed to prevent exceeding the renal excretory capacity.

In Hyperalimentation

In total parenteral nutrition, maintenance requirements for Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) are not precisely known. The maintenance dose used in adults ranges from 8 to 24 mEq (1 gram to 3 grams) daily; for infants, the range is 2 to 10 mEq (0.25 gram to 1.25 grams) daily.

In Pre-eclampsia or Eclampsia

In severe pre-eclampsia or eclampsia, the total initial dose is 10 grams to 14 grams of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate. Intravenously, a dose of 4 grams to 5 grams in 250 mL of 5% Dextrose Injection, USP or 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP may be infused. Simultaneously, intramuscular doses of up to 10 grams (5 grams or 10 mL of the undiluted 50% solution in each buttock) are given. Alternatively, the initial intravenous dose of 4 grams may be given by diluting the 50% solution to a 10 or 20% concentration; the diluted fluid (40 mL of a 10% solution or 20 mL of a 20% solution) may then be injected intravenously over a period of three to four minutes. Subsequently, 4 grams to 5 grams (8 to 10 mL of the 50% solution) are injected intramuscularly into alternate buttocks every four hours as needed, depending on the continuing presence of the patellar reflex and adequate respiratory function. Alternatively, after the initial intravenous dose, some clinicians administer 1 gram to 2 grams/hour by constant intravenous infusion. Therapy should continue until paroxysms cease. A serum Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) level of 6 mg/100 mL is considered optimal for control of seizures. A total daily (24 hr) dose of 30 grams to 40 grams should not be exceeded. In the presence of severe renal insufficiency, the maximum dosage of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate is 20 grams/48 hours and frequent serum Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) concentrations must be obtained. Continuous use of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate in pregnancy beyond 5 to 7 days can cause fetal abnormalities.

Other Uses

In counteracting the muscle-stimulating effects of barium poisoning, the usual dose of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) sulfate is 1 gram to 2 grams given intravenously.

For controlling seizures associated with epilepsy, glomerulonephritis or hypothyroidism, the usual adult dose is 1 gram administered intramuscularly or intravenously.

In paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Magnesium (Magnesium Carbonate)) should be used only if simpler measures have failed and there is no evidence of myocardial damage. The usual dose is 3 grams to 4 grams (30 to 40 mL of a 10% solution) administered intravenously over 30 seconds with extreme caution.

For reduction of cerebral edema, 2.5 grams (25 mL of a 10% solution) is given intravenously.

Active ingredient for caries prophylaxis: Fluoride as sodium fluoride.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

Significant decrease in the incidence of dental caries can be linked to the fluoridation of the water supply (1ppm fluoride) during the period of tooth development.

Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Vitamin A (Retinol Acetate)) Tablets provide sodium fluoride and ten essential vitamins in a chewable tablet. Because the tablets are chewable, they provide a topical as well as systemic source of fluoride. Hydroxyapatite is the principal crystal for all calcified tissue in the human body. The fluoride ion reacts with the Hydroxyapatite in the tooth as it is formed to produce the more caries-resistant crystal, fluorapatite.

The reaction may be expressed by the equation:

Ca10(PO4)6(OH2) + 2F- Ca10 (PO4)6F2 + 2OH-
(Hydroxyapatite) (Fluorapatite)

Three stages of fluoride deposition in tooth enamel can be distinguished:

  • Small amounts (reflecting the low levels of fluoride in tissue fluids) are incorporated into the enamel crystals while they are being formed.
  • After enamel has been laid down, fluoride deposition continues in the surface enamel. Diffusion of fluoride from the surface inward is apparently restricted.
  • After eruption, the surface enamel acquires fluoride from the water, food, supplementary fluoride and smaller amounts of saliva.

DIETARY SUPPLEMENTATION

Multivitamins with fluoride offer supplementation of the diet with 10 vitamins and fluoride.

WARNINGS

AS IN THE CASE OF ALL MEDICATIONS, KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. This tablet should be chewed. This product, as with all chewable tablets are not recommended for children under the age of 4 due to risk of choking.

PRECAUTIONS

The suggested dose of Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Vitamin A (Retinol Acetate)) Tablets should not be exceeded, since dental fluorosis may result from continued ingestion of large amounts of fluoride.

Before recommending Complivit Mama for Pregnant and Nursing Women (Vitamin A (Retinol Acetate)) Tablets

  • Determine the fluoride content of the drinking water from all major sources
  • Make sure the child is not receiving significant amounts of fluoride from other sources such as medications and swallowed toothpaste
  • Periodically check to make sure that the child does not develop significant dental fluorosis.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Allergic rash and other idiosyncrasies have been rarely reported.
