Deficiency states of vitamin C. Conditions of increased demand for vitamin C (colds, viral infections including influenza). Helpful in excessive vascular permeability.
Composition:
1 tabl powl. contains 25 mg of rutoside and 100 mg of ascorbic acid. The product contains lactose and sucrose.
Action:
Preparation with a combined effect of vitamin C and rutoside - flavonoid with sealing action on capillary vessels and oxidation-reduction properties. Rutoside limits the action of vasoconstrictors, causing edema and inflammation (it has a synergistic effect with vitamin C in the neutralization reactions of free radicals). It protects Ascorbic acid against oxidation by oxidase and increases the absorption of vitamin C from the intestine. It reduces the permeability of capillary blood vessels and increases the flexibility and mechanical resistance of vessels (reduces their brittleness and fragility). Vitamin C participates in many metabolic processes, has antioxidant activity, and affects the oxidation-reduction balance.
Contraindications:
Hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients.
Precautions:
High doses (over 1 g) are not recommended in patients with excessive excretion of oxalic acid, gout, uric acid, cystinuria, hypokalaemia and hypercalcaemia. The use of vitamin C together with sulfonamides may lead to the destruction of sulfonamide crystals in the urine. In children under 6 years, the decision to use the drug should be considered individually. The preparation contains lactose and sucrose - it should not be used in patients with rare, inherited galactose or fructose intolerance, lactase deficiency (Lapp type), malabsorption of glucose-galactose, sucrase-isomaltase deficiency.
Pregnancy and lactation:
The safety of the preparation during pregnancy and while breastfeeding has not been established. The available clinical data on the use of rutoside and vitamin C in the form of mono-constituent preparations do not indicate a significant risk for the fetus. The recommended daily dose of vitamin C for pregnant women is 60-80 mg / day. Vitamin C administered in excessive doses in pregnancy can lead to symptoms of deficiency in newborns (neonatal scarlet). Vitamin C is excreted in milk, however, it has been found that taking doses 10 times higher than RDA does not increase its concentration in milk.
Side effects:
When taking high doses of vitamin C (above 600 mg / day), you may experience: vomiting, nausea; hypersensitivity reactions (skin rash); diuretic effect.
Dosage:
Orally. Prophylactically: 1-2 tabl. per day. In conditions of vitamin C deficiency: 1-2 tabl. 2-4 times a day.
