Description
Overview of the medicine
Citritol 1200 mg Tablet is a metabolic enhancer formulated to support cellular energy production, reduce fatigue, and promote overall vitality. It contains a unique blend of bio-active compounds designed to optimize metabolic processes and antioxidant defense.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
One tablet (1200 mg) once daily, preferably with a meal, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Elderly
No specific dose adjustment required; same as adult dosage. However, caution is advised for elderly patients with pre-existing conditions.
Renal_impairment
Use with caution in patients with severe renal impairment. Consultation with a physician is recommended; dosage adjustment may be necessary based on creatinine clearance.
How to Take
Administer orally with a glass of water, preferably during or after a meal to enhance absorption and minimize gastrointestinal upset. Do not crush or chew the tablet.
Mechanism of Action
Citritol works by enhancing the efficiency of the Krebs cycle, stimulating mitochondrial function, and acting as a potent antioxidant. It aids in the conversion of nutrients into usable energy (ATP) and helps neutralize harmful free radicals, thereby protecting cells from oxidative stress and improving cellular performance.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Clinical effects typically observed within 1-2 hours of administration, with sustained benefits over several days of continuous use.
Excretion
Mainly excreted via the kidneys (renal excretion) as metabolites and a small portion as unchanged drug. Minor fecal excretion may also occur.
Half life
Approximately 4-6 hours.
Absorption
Rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, reaching peak plasma concentrations within 1-3 hours after oral administration.
Metabolism
Primarily metabolized in the liver into inactive metabolites through various enzymatic pathways.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- •Hypersensitivity to Citritol or any of its excipients
- •Severe renal impairment (e.g., end-stage renal disease) without medical supervision
- •Acute liver failure
Drug Interactions
Warfarin and other anticoagulants
Although no direct interaction is expected, patients on anticoagulants should use with caution and monitor INR regularly due to potential metabolic effects.
Certain diuretics (e.g., thiazides)
Potential for altered electrolyte balance; monitor closely.
Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium
May reduce the absorption of Citritol if taken concurrently. Administer Citritol at least 2 hours before or 4 hours after antacids.
Storage
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
In case of an overdose, symptomatic and supportive treatment should be initiated. There is no specific antidote for Citritol overdose. Monitor vital signs and manage any adverse reactions.
