Dosage & Administration
• For intravenous infusion into a peripheral or central vein. ( 2.1 , 5.11 ) • See full prescribing information regarding preparation, administration, instructions for use, the recommended dosage in adults, and dosage modifications for patients with renal impairment. ( 2.1 , 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 ) 2.1 Administration • PERIKABIVEN is for intravenous infusion into a peripheral or central vein [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.11 )]. • Use a 1.2 micron in-line filter. • Use of a vented intravenous administration set with the vent in the open position could result in air embolism. • Use a dedicated line without any connections. Multiple connections could result in air embolism due to residual air being drawn from the primary container before administration of the fluid from the secondary container is completed. • Do not exceed the recommended maximum infusion rate of 3.7 mL/kg/hour [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 ) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. • Ceftriaxone must not be administered simultaneously with calcium-containing intravenous solutions such as PERIKABIVEN via a Y-site due to precipitation. However, in patients other than neonates, ceftriaxone and PERIKABIVEN may be administered sequentially if the infusion lines are thoroughly flushed between infusions with a compatible fluid [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] . • Do not use administration sets and lines that contain di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP). Administration sets that contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC) components have DEHP as a plasticizer. 2.2 Important Preparation Instructions • Inspect the bag prior to activation. Discard the bag in the following situations: ͦ Evidence of damage to the bag ͦ More than one chamber is white ͦ Solution is yellow ͦ Any seal is already broken • Activate the bag [ s ee Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )] . • Once the bag is activated, ensure the vertical seals between chambers are broken at least from the bend in the seals and down to the ports. The upper sections of the vertical seals above the bend and the horizontal seal may remain closed. • It is recommended to mix the contents thoroughly by inverting the bag upside down to ensure a homogenous admixture. • Ensure the vertical seals between chambers are broken and the contents of all three chambers are mixed together prior to infusion [ s ee Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )]. • Use PERIKABIVEN immediately after mixing and the introduction of additives. If not used immediately, the storage time and conditions prior to use should not be longer than 24 hours at 2° to 8°C (36° to 46°F). After removal from storage at 2° to 8°C (36° to 46°F), the admixture should be infused within 24 hours. Any mixture remaining must be discarded. • For total parenteral nutrition add multivitamins and trace elements via the additive port. Any other additions to the bag should be evaluated by a pharmacist for compatibility. Questions about compatibility may be directed to Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC. • When introducing additives, it is recommended to use 18 to 23 gauge needles with a maximum length of 1.5 inches (40 mm) and to mix thoroughly after each addition, use aseptic technique and add after the vertical seals have been broken (i.e., bag has been activated) and the three components are mixed [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )]. • Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Inspect PERIKABIVEN to ensure: ͦ Precipitates have not formed during the mixing or addition of additives. ͦ The emulsion has not separated. Separation of the emulsion can be visibly identified by a yellowish streaking or the accumulation of yellowish droplets in the mixed emulsion.

Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure 2.4 Dosing Considerations The dosage of PERIKABIVEN should be individualized based on the patient's clinical condition (ability to adequately metabolize amino acids, dextrose and lipids), body weight and nutritional/fluid requirements, as well as additional energy given orally/enterally to the patient. PERIKABIVEN is a combination of amino acids, electrolytes, dextrose, and lipids in a fixed volume and concentration. The dosage selection is based upon fluid requirements which can be used in conjunction with the nutritional requirements to determine final dosage [see Table 1 ]. PERIKABIVEN meets the total nutritional requirements for protein, dextrose and lipids in stable patients, and can be individualized to meet specific needs with the addition of nutrients. The maximum infusion rate is based upon the dextrose component. Prior to administration of PERIKABIVEN, correct severe fluid, electrolyte and acid-base disorders. Before starting the infusion, obtain serum triglyceride levels to establish the baseline value. Recommended Adult Dosage The recommended dosage of PERIKABIVEN in adults is 27 to 40 mL/kg/day. The amount of macronutrients provided by PERIKABIVEN are shown in Table 1 . The maximum daily dosage of PERIKABIVEN in adults should not exceed 40 mL/kg/day. In patients with serum triglyceride concentrations above 400 mg/dL, stop the PERIKABIVEN infusion and monitor serum triglyceride levels. Once the triglycerides are <400 mg/dL, restart PERIKABIVEN at a lower infusion rate and advance rate in smaller increments towards target dosage, checking the triglyceride levels prior to each adjustment [see Contraindications ( 4 ) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.13 )] . Table 1: Macronutrient Content of PERIKABIVEN Based on Recommended Dosage * Protein is provided as amino acids. When infused intravenously amino acids are metabolized and utilized as the building blocks of protein. ** As Dextrose monohydrate Nutrition Provided by PERIKABIVEN recommended dosage Fluid mL/kg/day 27 to 40 Protein* g/kg/day Nitrogen g/kg/day 0.64 to 0.94 0.1 to 0.15 Dextrose ** g/kg/day 2.03 to 3 Lipids g/kg/day 0.95 to 1.4 Total Energy Requirement kcal/kg/day 18 to 27 Treatment with PERIKABIVEN may be continued for as long as is required by the patient's condition. Dosing in Renal Impairment In patients with renal impairment, the dosage of PERIKABIVEN should be the recommended adult dosage (see above). Prior to administration, correct severe fluid or electrolyte imbalances. Closely monitor serum electrolyte levels and adjust the volume of PERIKABIVEN administered as required [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.12 )] . Renal patients not needing dialysis require 0.6 to 0.8 g of protein/kg/day. Patients on dialysis or continuous renal replacement therapy should receive 1.2 to 1.8 g of protein/kg/day up to a maximum of 2.5 g of protein/kg/day based on nutritional status and estimated protein losses. The PERIKABIVEN dosage can be adjusted based on the treatment for the renal impairment, supplementing protein as indicated. Additional protein may be added to PERIKABIVEN bag or infused separately. If required, additional amino acids may be added to the PERIKABIVEN bag or infused separately. Infusion Duration and Rate The recommended duration of infusion for PERIKABIVEN is between 12 and 24 hours, depending on the clinical situation. The maximum infusion rate of PERIKABIVEN is 3.7 mL/kg/hour. This corresponds to 0.09 g/kg/hour of amino acids, 0.28 g/kg/hour of dextrose (the rate limiting factor) and 0.13 g/kg/hour of lipids. Dosing Instructions 1. Determine the fluid requirements (27 to 40 mL/kg/day) and the patient's nutritional requirements to be delivered, then select the corresponding PERIKABIVEN bag. 2. Determine the preferred duration of infusion (12 to 24 hours). 3. Ensure that the rate of infusion (PERIKABIVEN dosage in mL/kg/day divided by the preferred duration of infusion (hours)) does not exceed the maximum infusion rate for the patient (i.e., 3.7 mL/kg/hour). The infusion rate may need to be reduced and duration of infusion increased in order not to exceed the maximum infusion rate. 4. Once the infusion rate in mL/kg/hour has been selected, calculate the infusion rate (mL/hour) using the patient's weight. 5. Compare the patient's nutrient requirements with the amount supplied by PERIKABIVEN. Discuss with a pharmacist any additions that may be required.
Warnings & Precautions
• Clinical Decompensation with Rapid Infusion of Intravenous Lipid Emulsion in Neonates and Infants : Acute respiratory distress, metabolic acidosis, and death after rapid infusion of intravenous lipid emulsions have been reported. ( 5.1 ) • Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease : Increased risk in patients who receive parenteral nutrition for greater than 2 weeks. Monitor liver tests; if abnormalities occur, consider discontinuation or dosage reduction. ( 5.2 ) • Pulmonary Embolism and Respiratory Distress due to Pulmonary Vascular Precipitates : If signs of pulmonary distress occur, stop the infusion and initiate a medical evaluation. ( 5.3 ) • Hypersensitivity Reactions: Monitor for signs or symptoms and discontinue infusion if reactions occur. ( 5.4 ) • Precipitation with Ceftriaxone: Do not administer ceftriaxone simultaneously with PERIKABIVEN via a Y-Site ( 4 , 5.5 , 8.4 ) • Infection, fat overload, hyperglycemia and refeeding complications: Monitor for signs and symptoms; monitor laboratory parameters. ( 5.6 , 5.7 , 5.8 , 5.9 , 5.14 ) 5.1 Clinical Decompensation with Rapid Infusion of Intravenous Lipid Emulsion in Neonates and Infants In the postmarketing setting, serious adverse reactions including acute respiratory distress, metabolic acidosis, and death have been reported in neonates and infants after rapid infusion of intravenous lipid emulsions. Hypertriglyceridemia was commonly reported. Preterm and small for gestational age infants have poor clearance of intravenous lipid emulsion and increased free fatty acid plasma levels following lipid emulsion infusion. 5.2 Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease and Other Hepatobiliary Disorders Risk of Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease Parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD), also referred to as intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD), can present as cholestasis or hepatic steatosis, and may progress to steatohepatitis with fibrosis and cirrhosis (possibly leading to chronic hepatic failure). The etiology of PNALD is multifactorial; however, intravenously administered phytosterols (plant sterols) contained in plant-derived lipid emulsions, such as Intralipid (included in PERIKABIVEN), have been associated with development of PNALD. In a randomized study of neonates and infants expected to be treated with PN for at least 28 days, parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC), a precursor to PNALD, developed more frequently in Intralipid-treated patients than in patients treated with a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )]. Monitor liver tests in patients treated with PERIKABIVEN and consider discontinuation or dosage reduction if abnormalities occur. Other Hepatobiliary Disorders Hepatobiliary disorders including cholecystitis and cholelithiasis have developed in some PN-treated patients without preexisting liver disease. Monitor liver tests when administering PERIKABIVEN. Patients developing signs of hepatobiliary disorders should be assessed early to determine whether these conditions are related to PERIKABIVEN use. 5.3 Pulmonary Embolism and Respiratory Distress due to Pulmonary Vascular Precipitates Pulmonary vascular precipitates causing pulmonary emboli (including some fatalities) and respiratory distress have been reported in patients receiving parenteral nutrition. Excessive addition of calcium and phosphate increases the risk of the formation of calcium phosphate precipitates; however, precipitates have been reported even in the absence of phosphate salt in the solution. Precipitation following passage through an in-line filter and suspected in vivo precipitate formation has also been reported. Visually inspect the prepared solution, the infusion set, and catheter for precipitates, prior to administration as well as periodically during the administration. If signs of respiratory distress or pulmonary embolism occur, stop the PERIKABIVEN infusion and initiate a medical evaluation. 5.4 Hypersensitivity Reactions PERIKABIVEN contains soybean oil, which may cause hypersensitivity reactions. Cross reactions have been observed between soybean and peanut. In postmarketing experience, anaphylaxis has been reported following Kabiven administration [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] . PERIKABIVEN is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to egg, soybean, peanut or any of the active or inactive ingredients in PERIKABIVEN [see Contraindications ( 4 )] . If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, stop infusion of PERIKABIVEN immediately and initiate appropriate treatment and supportive measures. 5.5 Precipitation with Ceftriaxone Precipitation of ceftriaxone-calcium can occur when ceftriaxone is mixed with calcium-containing parenteral nutrition solutions, such as PERIKABIVEN in the same intravenous administration line. Do not administer ceftriaxone simultaneously with PERIKABIVEN via a Y-site. However, in patients other than neonates, ceftriaxone and PERIKABIVEN may be administered sequentially if the infusion lines are thoroughly flushed between infusions with a compatible fluid [ s ee Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )] . Deaths have occurred in neonates (28 days of age or younger) who received concomitant intravenous calcium-containing solutions with ceftriaxone resulting from calcium-ceftriaxone precipitates in the lungs and kidneys, even when separate infusion lines were used [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Pediatric Use ( 8.4 )]. 5.6 Infections Parenteral nutrition, such as PERIKABIVEN, can support microbial growth and is an independent risk factor for the development of catheter-related bloodstream infections. To decrease the risk of infectious complications, ensure aseptic techniques are used for catheter placement, catheter maintenance, and preparation and administration of PERIKABIVEN. Monitor for signs and symptoms of infection including fever and chills, as well as laboratory test results that might indicate infection (including leukocytosis and hyperglycemia). Perform frequent checks of the intravenous catheter insertion site for edema, redness, and discharge. 5.7 Fat Overload Syndrome Fat overload syndrome is a rare condition that has been reported with intravenous lipid formulations and is characterized by a sudden deterioration in the patient's condition (e.g., fever, anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, coagulation disorders, hyperlipidemia, hepatomegaly, deteriorating liver function, and central nervous system manifestations such as coma). A reduced or limited ability to metabolize lipids, accompanied by prolonged plasma clearance (resulting in higher lipid levels), may result in this syndrome. Although fat overload syndrome has been most frequently observed when the recommended lipid dose or infusion rate was exceeded, cases have also been described when the lipid formulation was administered according to instructions. If signs or symptoms of fat overload syndrome occur, stop PERIKABIVEN. The syndrome is usually reversible when the infusion including the lipid emulsion is stopped. 5.8 Refeeding Syndrome Administering PN to severely malnourished patients with parenteral nutrition may result in refeeding syndrome, characterized by the intracellular shift of potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium as patients become anabolic. Thiamine deficiency and fluid retention may also develop. To prevent these complications, closely monitor severely undernourished patients and slowly increase their nutrient intake. 5.9 Diabetes and Hyperglycemia Administration of dextrose at a rate exceeding the patient's utilization rate may lead to hyperglycemia, hyperosmolar coma, and death. Monitor blood glucose levels and treat hyperglycemia to maintain optimal glucose levels while infusing PERIKABIVEN. Insulin may be administered or adjusted to maintain optimal blood glucose levels during PERIKABIVEN administration. 5.10 Hypertriglyceridemia The use of PERIKABIVEN is contraindicated in patients with hypertriglyceridemia with serum triglyceride concentrations >1,000 mg/dL. Patients with conditions such as inherited lipid disorders, obesity, diabetes mellitus, or metabolic syndromes have a higher risk of developing hypertriglyceridemia with the use of PERIKABIVEN. In addition, patients with hypertriglyceridemia may have worsening of their hypertriglyceridemia with administration of PERIKABIVEN. Excessive dextrose administration may further increase such risk. Evaluate patients' capacity to eliminate and metabolize the infused lipid emulsion by measuring serum triglycerides before the start of infusion (baseline value), with each increase in dosage, and regularly throughout treatment. If triglyceride levels are above 400 mg/dL in adults, stop the PERIKABIVEN infusion and monitor serum triglyceride levels to avoid clinical consequences of hypertriglyceridemia such as pancreatitis. To minimize the risk of new or worsening of hypertriglyceridemia, assess high-risk patients for their overall energy intake including other sources of lipid and dextrose, as well as concomitant drugs that may affect lipid and dextrose metabolism. 5.11 Vein Damage and Thrombosis The infusion of hypertonic nutrient injections into a peripheral vein may result in vein irritation, vein damage, and/or thrombosis. PERIKABIVEN is indicated for peripheral administration, or may be infused into a central vein; however, peripheral catheters should not be used for solutions with osmolarity of ≥ 900 mOsm/L. The catheter should be removed as soon as possible if thrombophlebitis develops. 5.12 Electrolyte Imbalance and Fluid Overload in Patients with Decreased Renal Function Patients with decreased renal function, including those with pre-renal azotemia, renal obstruction, or intrinsic renal disease, may be at increased risk of electrolyte and fluid volume imbalance when receiving PN, including PERIKABIVEN. In patients with decreased renal function with electrolyte imbalance or fluid overload, the PERIKABIVEN should be used with caution in patients with renal impairment. PERIKABIVEN dosage (e.g., fluid, protein, and electrolyte content) may require adjustment. Monitor renal function parameters. Patients developing signs of decreased renal function should be assessed early by a clinician knowledgeable in renal disease in order to determine the appropriate PERIKABIVEN dosage and other treatment options. 5.13 Aluminum Toxicity PERIKABIVEN contains no more than 25 mcg/L of aluminum. The aluminum contained in PERIKABIVEN may reach toxic levels with prolonged parenteral administration in patients with impaired kidney function. Preterm infants are at greater risk because their kidneys are immature, and they require large amounts of calcium and phosphate solutions that contain aluminum. Patients with impaired kidney function, including preterm infants, 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 of total parenteral nutrition products. 5.14 Monitoring/Laboratory Tests Monitor fluid status closely in patients with pulmonary edema or heart failure. Throughout treatment, monitor serum triglycerides [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.13 )] , fluid and electrolyte status, serum osmolarity, blood glucose, liver and kidney function, blood count (including platelets), and coagulation parameters. PERIKABIVEN contains Vitamin K that may counteract anticoagulant activity [see Drug Interactions ( 7 )]. The lipids contained in PERIKABIVEN may interfere with some laboratory tests (e.g., hemoglobin, triglycerides, lactate dehydrogenase, bilirubin, and oxygen saturation) if blood is sampled before the lipids in PERIKABIVEN have cleared from the bloodstream. Conduct these tests at least 6 hours after stopping the infusion.

The use of PERIKABIVEN is contraindicated in: • Neonates (28 days of age or younger) receiving concomitant treatment with ceftriaxone, even if separate infusion lines are used, due to the risk of fatal ceftriaxone calcium salt precipitation in the neonate's bloodstream [see Limitations of Use ( 1 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )]. • Patients with known hypersensitivity to egg, soybean, peanut or any of the active or inactive ingredients in PERIKABIVEN [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] ; • Patients with severe disorders of lipid metabolism characterized by hypertriglyceridemia (serum triglyceride concentration >1,000 mg/dL) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.10 )]. • Patients with inborn errors of amino acid metabolism • Patients with cardiopulmonary instability (including pulmonary edema, cardiac insufficiency, myocardial infarction, acidosis and hemodynamic instability requiring significant vasopressor support) • Patients with hemophagocytic syndrome • Concomitant treatment with ceftriaxone in neonates (28 days of age or younger). ( 4 ) • Known hypersensitivity to egg, soybean, peanut or any of the active ingredients or excipients. ( 4 ) • Severe disorders of lipid metabolism characterized by hypertriglyceridemia (serum triglycerides >1,000 mg/dL). ( 4 , 5.10 ) • Inborn errors of amino acid metabolism. ( 4 ) • Cardiopulmonary instability. ( 4 ) • Hemophagocytic syndrome. ( 4 )
Adverse Reactions
The following serious adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the prescribing information. • Clinical Decompensation with Rapid Infusion of Intravenous Lipid Emulsion in Neonates and Infants [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. • Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease and Other Hepatobiliary Disorders [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )]. • Pulmonary Embolism and Respiratory Distress due to Pulmonary Vascular Precipitates [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )]. • Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )]. • Precipitation with Ceftriaxone [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )]. • Infections [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )]. • Fat Overload Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )]. • Refeeding Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )]. • Diabetes and Hyperglycemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.9 )]. • Hypertriglyceridemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.10 )]. • Vein Damage and Thrombosis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.11 )]. • Electrolyte Imbalance and Fluid Overload in Patients with Decreased Renal Function [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.12 )]. • Aluminum Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.13 )]. The most common adverse reactions (≥3%) are hyperglycemia, hypokalemia, pyrexia, and increased blood triglycerides.

The clinical data described for PERIKABIVEN reflects exposure in 93 patients exposed for 5 to 7 days in 4 active-controlled trials. The pooled population exposed to PERIKABIVEN was 18 to 87 years old, 48% female, 73% Caucasian. The enrolled patients had varied underlying conditions such as gastrointestinal disorders (55%), vascular disorders (30%), metabolism and nutrition disorders (28%), respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disorders (22%), and psychiatric disorders (20%). Most patients received peripheral intravenous infusion doses of ≥80% of their target mean daily exposure. Adverse reactions occurring in at least 2% of patients who received PERIKABIVEN are shown in Table 3 . Table 3: Adverse Reactions in >2% of Patients Treated with PERIKABIVEN * Terms as reported in clinical studies Adverse reaction PERIKABIVEN N=93 (%) Hyperglycemia* 5 (5) Hypokalemia 4 (4) Pyrexia 4 (4) Blood triglycerides increased 3 (3) Phlebitis 2 (2) Nausea 2 (2) Pruritus 2 (2) Gamma-glutamyltransferase increased 2 (2) Blood alkaline phosphatase increased 2 (2) Alanine aminotransferase increased 2 (2) Blood glucose increased* 2 (2) C-reactive protein increased 2 (2) Blood urea increased 2 (2) Hypoalbuminemia 2 (2) Less common adverse reactions in ≤1% of patients who received PERIKABIVEN were hyperkalemia, hypomagnesaemia, hypernatremia, tachycardia, hypertension, thrombophlebitis, vomiting, jaundice, rash and increased blood bilirubin. In a randomized active-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, multi-center study that included 152 neonates and 9 patients ranging in age from 29 to 153 days who were expected to require PN for at least 28 days, parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC), a precursor to PNALD, developed more frequently in Intralipid-treated patients than in patients treated with a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion. Intralipid is the lipid emulsion component of PERIKABIVEN. PNAC (defined as direct bilirubin >2mg/dl with a second confirmed elevation >2mg/dl at least 7 days later) occurred in 11.5% (9/78) of Intralipid-treated patients and 2.4% (2/83) of patients treated with a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion. Most PNAC events occurred in patients who were treated for longer than 28 days. The estimated cumulative incidence of PNAC is shown in the Kaplan-Meier cumulative incidence curve in Figure 1 . Figure 1: Cumulative Incidence Curve of Time to Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Cholestasis (PNAC) with Standard Error Bars Monitor liver tests in patients treated with PERIKABIVEN and consider discontinuation or dosage reduction if abnormalities occur. Figure 1 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following additional adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of PERIKABIVEN in countries where it is registered. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily post-approval from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to product exposure. • Gastrointestinal disorders: abdominal distension, abdominal pain • General disorders and administration site conditions: chest tightness • Hepatobiliary disorders: cholestasis • Immune system disorders: hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] • Infections and infestations: infection • Vascular disorders: flushed face
Drug Interactions
Coumarin and coumarin derivatives, including warfarin: Anticoagulant activity may be counteracted; monitor laboratory parameters. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Ceftriaxone Precipitation of ceftriaxone-calcium can occur when ceftriaxone is mixed with calcium-containing parenteral nutrition solutions, such as PERIKABIVEN, in the same intravenous administration line. Do not administer ceftriaxone simultaneously with PERIKABIVEN, via a Y-site. However, ceftriaxone and PERIKABIVEN, may be administered sequentially if the infusion lines are thoroughly flushed between infusions with a compatible fluid [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )]. Deaths have occurred in neonates (28 days of age or younger) who received concomitant intravenous calcium-containing solutions with ceftriaxone resulting from calcium-ceftriaxone precipitates in the lungs and kidneys, even when separate infusion lines were used [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )]. 7.2 Coumarin and Coumarin Derivatives The soybean oil present in PERIKABIVEN has vitamin K 1 . Vitamin K 1 can reverse the anticoagulant activity of coumarin or coumarin derivatives, which work by blocking recycling of vitamin K 1 . Monitoring for anticoagulant activity is recommended in patients who are on both PERIKABIVEN and coumarin or coumarin derivatives.
