Description

Overview of the medicine

Activit-Zi Syrup is a comprehensive nutritional supplement containing a blend of essential B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B6, Nicotinamide, D-Panthenol) and the vital trace mineral Zinc. It is formulated to address deficiencies and support overall health, metabolic functions, and immune system.

Uses & Indications

Vitamin B-complex and Zinc deficiency states

Loss of appetite and general weakness

During pregnancy and lactation for increased nutritional demand

Convalescence from illness, surgery, or prolonged antibiotic therapy

Support for healthy skin, hair, and nails

Enhancement of immune function

Dosage

Adults

2 teaspoonfuls (10 ml) 2 to 3 times daily, or as directed by a physician.

Elderly

Same as adult dosage, or as directed by a physician.

Renal_impairment

Generally safe at recommended doses; consult physician for severe impairment.

How to Take

For oral administration. Can be taken with or without food. Shake well before use.

Mechanism of Action

B-complex vitamins act as coenzymes in various metabolic pathways, essential for energy production, cell growth, and nerve function. Zinc is crucial for immune function, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and catalytic activity of over 300 enzymes.

Pharmacokinetics

Onset

Nutritional benefits accumulate over days to weeks with regular use.

Excretion

Water-soluble B vitamins are primarily excreted in urine. Excess zinc is mainly excreted via feces, with some renal excretion.

Half life

Varies for each component; B vitamins have short half-lives due to water solubility. Zinc's half-life can range from 1 to 2 hours in plasma, but tissue retention is longer.

Absorption

B vitamins are water-soluble and readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Zinc is absorbed primarily from the small intestine, with absorption varying based on dietary factors.

Metabolism

B vitamins are metabolized in the liver. Zinc is not extensively metabolized but integrated into proteins and enzymes.

Side Effects

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.
Hypervitaminosis (rare for water-soluble vitamins at recommended doses).

Drug Interactions

Levodopa

Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) may reduce the effectiveness of levodopa (not carbidopa-levodopa combination).

Penicillamine

Zinc may interfere with the absorption of penicillamine.

Tetracycline and Quinolone Antibiotics

Zinc may reduce the absorption of these antibiotics. Administer zinc at least 2 hours before or 4-6 hours after these antibiotics.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place, below 30°C. Protect from light. Do not freeze.

Overdose

Symptoms of overdose may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and a metallic taste in the mouth (due to excess zinc). Acute overdose of B vitamins is generally rare due to their water-soluble nature. In case of overdose, seek medical attention immediately. Management is supportive and symptomatic.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Generally considered safe and often beneficial during pregnancy and lactation to meet increased nutritional demands, but use with caution and only if clearly needed. Consult a physician.
