Description
Overview of the medicine
Exactive EQ is a comprehensive nutritional supplement formulated with a blend of essential vitamins, minerals, and Omega-3 fatty acids, designed to support overall health, brain function, and cognitive performance.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Typically one softgel capsule daily with a meal or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Elderly
Same as adults, or as advised by a physician.
Renal_impairment
Use with caution; consult a physician for specific guidance due to mineral content.
How to Take
Take orally with food to enhance absorption and reduce gastrointestinal discomfort.
Mechanism of Action
Provides essential nutrients vital for various metabolic processes, neurotransmitter synthesis, and cell membrane integrity, particularly in the brain. Omega-3 fatty acids contribute to neuronal health and anti-inflammatory pathways.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Gradual, cumulative effect over weeks to months with consistent use.
Excretion
Primarily renal for water-soluble components; fat-soluble vitamins and metabolites excreted via bile and feces.
Half life
Varies significantly by individual vitamin/mineral/fatty acid; generally eliminated within hours to days.
Absorption
Vitamins and minerals are absorbed via specific transporters or passive diffusion in the gastrointestinal tract. Omega-3s are absorbed as chylomicrons.
Metabolism
Each component metabolized through its specific pathway (e.g., liver for fat-soluble vitamins, kidneys for water-soluble ones).
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any component
- Severe hypercalcemia or hypervitaminosis D (if applicable to ingredients)
- Conditions with iron overload
Drug Interactions
Tetracycline antibiotics
Minerals (Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc) can reduce absorption; separate administration by several hours.
Anticoagulants (e.g., Warfarin)
Omega-3s might increase bleeding risk; monitor INR.
Storage
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Overdose
Acute overdose is unlikely but can lead to gastrointestinal upset. Chronic excessive intake of some vitamins/minerals can cause toxicity (e.g., hypervitaminosis A or D, iron toxicity). Symptomatic and supportive treatment.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Consult a doctor before use if pregnant or breastfeeding.
