These reactions resemble hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis, including anaphylactoid reaction, and have led to shock and cardiac and\/or respiratory arrest. The objective of this review is to summarize the available literature detailing the anaphylactic\/anaphylactoid reactions with parenteral vitamin K1 in order to better characterize the reaction and provide a more in-depth understanding of its importance. A comprehensive literature search of MEDLINE (1946 to June 2016) and EMBASE (1947 to June 2016) was conducted using the terms vitamin K1, phytonadione, phytomenadione, vitamin K group, anaphylaxis, polyoxyethylated castor oil, and cremophor. A total of 2 retrospective surveillance studies, 2 retrospective cohort studies, and 17 case reports were identified for inclusion and assessment. Based on a review of the literature, use of parenteral vitamin K1 may result in severe hypotension, bradycardia or tachycardia, dyspnea, bronchospasm, cardiac arrest, and death. These reactions are most consistent with a nonimmune-mediated anaphylactoid mechanism. It appears that intravenous administration is more frequently associated with these reactions and occurs at an incidence of 3 per 10 000 doses of intravenous vitamin K1. The solubilizer may also increase the risk of adverse reactions, which occurred in patients with and without previous exposure to vitamin K1. Although there are known factors that increase the risk of an adverse drug event occurring, reactions have been reported despite all precautions being properly followed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1076029616674825","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,21]],"date-time":"2016-10-21T21:11:35Z","timestamp":1477084295000},"page":"5-12","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Characterizing the Severe Reactions of Parenteral Vitamin K1"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Rachel B.","family":"Britt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Geriatric Research, Education and Clinical Center, Durham VA Health Care System, Durham, NC, USA"},{"name":"Pharmacy Service, Durham VA Medical Center, Durham, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jamie N.","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pharmacy Service, Durham VA Medical Center, Durham, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1076029616674825","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0889-8588(05)70137-4"},{"key":"bibr2-1076029616674825","first-page":"417","volume":"76","author":"World Health Organization International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)","year":"2000","journal-title":"IARC Monogr Eval Carcinog Risks Hum"},{"key":"bibr3-1076029616674825","volume-title":"Martindale: The Complete Drug Reference","author":"Brayfield A","year":"2013"},{"key":"bibr4-1076029616674825","unstructured":"Vitamin K1 (phytonadione injectable emulsion) [package insert].
