Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Typically, one tablet daily or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
Same as adult dosage, or as advised by a physician, with consideration for potential age-related absorption changes.
Renal_impairment
Use with caution in severe renal impairment due to potential accumulation of certain minerals. Consult a physician.
How to Take
To be taken orally, preferably with or after meals to enhance absorption and minimize gastrointestinal upset.
Mechanism of Action
Provides essential vitamins and minerals that act as cofactors for various metabolic processes, enzyme functions, and cellular activities, supporting physiological functions.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Gradual, as nutritional balance is restored over days to weeks of consistent use.
Excretion
Water-soluble vitamins and excess minerals are primarily excreted via the kidneys in urine. Fat-soluble vitamins are excreted via bile into feces.
Half life
Varies widely among different vitamins and minerals, ranging from hours to days.
Absorption
Vitamins and minerals are absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, primarily the small intestine, through various active and passive transport mechanisms. Absorption rates vary depending on the specific nutrient and its form.
Metabolism
Vitamins undergo various metabolic pathways; water-soluble vitamins are generally not stored extensively, while fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the liver and adipose tissue. Minerals are incorporated into various body structures or participate in enzymatic reactions.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- •Known hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation.
- •Hypervitaminosis (excessive levels of certain vitamins).
- •Hemochromatosis or other iron overload disorders (if iron is present).
Drug Interactions
Antacids
Can affect the absorption of certain vitamins and minerals, particularly iron.
Thyroid hormones
Iron and calcium can interfere with the absorption of thyroid hormones. Take at least 4 hours apart.
Certain antibiotics (e.g., tetracyclines, quinolones)
Minerals (like calcium, iron) can chelate with these antibiotics, reducing their absorption. Separate administration by several hours.
Storage
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from light and moisture.
Overdose
Acute overdose is rare with multivitamin/multimineral preparations but can occur with very high doses of individual components (e.g., iron, fat-soluble vitamins). Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and in severe cases, liver damage (Vitamin A) or iron toxicity. Management involves symptomatic and supportive care.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Generally considered safe and often recommended during pregnancy and lactation to meet increased nutritional demands, but consult a physician before use.
