title: Parenteral vitamins A, D, and E for premature infants.
abstract: Dosage recommendations for parenteral multivitamin preparations in infants are approximations of what is believed to be necessary and are usually based on oral allowances. These recommendations for extremely immature infants are further complicated by the narrow margin of safety of some vitamins. This article is a review of the current recommendations for parenteral administration of vitamins A, D, and E in premature infants.
