How to Take

Ediplex 5 mg Syrup should be taken orally, preferably after meals, or as directed by the physician.

Mechanism of Action

B-complex vitamins are essential coenzymes in various metabolic pathways, playing crucial roles in energy production, nerve function, and red blood cell formation. L-Lysine is an essential amino acid necessary for protein synthesis, tissue repair, and the absorption of calcium.

Pharmacokinetics

Onset

Nutritional effects are gradual, building up over days to weeks.

Excretion

Water-soluble B vitamins and their metabolites are primarily excreted via the kidneys in urine. Lysine metabolites are also excreted renally.

Half life

Varies by specific B vitamin (e.g., Pyridoxine: 15-20 days when stored, Thiamine: 9-18 days). Lysine is metabolized rapidly.

Absorption

Water-soluble B vitamins and L-Lysine are readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.

Metabolism

B vitamins are metabolized in various tissues; excess is excreted. Lysine is primarily metabolized in the liver.

Side Effects

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.
Patients with hypervitaminosis.

Drug Interactions

Levodopa

High doses of Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) may reduce the effectiveness of Levodopa.

Certain Antibiotics (e.g., Isoniazid)

May interfere with Pyridoxine metabolism.

Storage

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

Overdose

Symptoms of overdose are rare due to the water-soluble nature of B vitamins. Extremely high doses of Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) can lead to peripheral neuropathy. Management is supportive and symptomatic.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and lactation at recommended doses, but always consult a healthcare provider before use.
