Description
Overview of the medicine
Albaplex-5-mg syrup is a nutritional supplement containing B-complex vitamins and L-Lysine, designed to improve appetite, promote growth, and maintain overall well-being, especially in children and adults with inadequate dietary intake.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
10 ml (2 teaspoonfuls) 2-3 times daily.
Elderly
Similar to adult dosage or as directed by physician.
Renal_impairment
Generally no dose adjustment required, but consult a physician in severe cases.
How to Take
Oral administration. May be taken before or after meals. Shake well before use.
Mechanism of Action
B-complex vitamins are essential coenzymes in various metabolic processes, including energy production and red blood cell formation. L-Lysine is an essential amino acid important for protein synthesis, tissue repair, and enzyme production, and may stimulate appetite.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Nutritional effects are gradual, not immediate. Appetite stimulation might be noticeable within days to weeks.
Excretion
Water-soluble B-vitamins and their metabolites are primarily excreted in urine. Excess L-Lysine and its metabolites are also excreted renally.
Half life
Varies for individual B-vitamins (water-soluble, generally short) and L-Lysine (relatively short, metabolized quickly).
Absorption
B-vitamins are readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. L-Lysine is actively absorbed from the small intestine.
Metabolism
B-vitamins are metabolized in the liver. L-Lysine is metabolized in the liver through transamination and oxidative deamination.
Side Effects

Overdose
Overdose is unlikely with water-soluble vitamins. May cause mild gastrointestinal upset. Symptomatic treatment if necessary.
