Description

Overview of the medicine

Arovital 10 ml Injection is a comprehensive multivitamin formulation containing a blend of B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12) and Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C). It is indicated for the prevention and treatment of vitamin deficiencies, especially when oral supplementation is inadequate or not feasible. It plays a crucial role in various metabolic processes, nerve function, red blood cell formation, and immune support.

Uses & Indications

Treatment and prevention of vitamin B and C deficiencies

Nutritional support in states of increased demand (e.g., pregnancy, lactation, strenuous physical activity)

Supportive therapy in chronic illnesses, convalescence, or post-surgical recovery

Neurological disorders associated with B vitamin deficiencies

Megaloblastic anemia due to B12 deficiency (if B12 content is adequate)

Dosage

Adults

10 ml administered intramuscularly or intravenously, 1-2 times daily or as directed by a physician.

Elderly

Same as adult dosage, but caution with intravenous infusion rate in those with cardiovascular issues.

Renal_impairment

Generally no dose adjustment needed for water-soluble vitamins, but use with caution in severe renal impairment.

How to Take

For intramuscular (IM) or slow intravenous (IV) administration. Must be administered by a healthcare professional.

Mechanism of Action

B vitamins act as coenzymes in numerous metabolic pathways, including carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism, energy production, and nerve function. Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) is a potent antioxidant involved in collagen synthesis, immune function, and iron absorption.

Pharmacokinetics

Onset

Relatively rapid, usually within minutes to hours for systemic effects.

Excretion

Mainly renal (urine).

Half life

Varies for each vitamin; water-soluble vitamins have short half-lives, typically a few hours.

Absorption

Rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the injection site (intramuscular) or directly into systemic circulation (intravenous).

Metabolism

Water-soluble vitamins are generally not extensively metabolized; excess is excreted.

Side Effects

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation
Leber's disease or other optic nerve atrophy (due to B12 if not properly balanced)

Drug Interactions

Folic Acid

May mask Vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms.

Pyridoxine (B6)

May reduce the effectiveness of Levodopa.

Certain antibiotics (e.g., Chloramphenicol)

Can interfere with Vitamin B12 absorption/effect.

Storage

Store below 30°C, protect from light and moisture. Do not freeze.

Overdose

Overdose of water-soluble vitamins is rare due to rapid excretion. Extremely high doses may cause gastrointestinal upset or temporary neurological symptoms. Management is symptomatic and supportive.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Generally considered safe and often recommended during pregnancy and lactation to meet increased nutritional demands. Consult a physician.
