Description
Overview of the medicine
FullCare is a comprehensive dietary supplement providing essential vitamins and minerals crucial for maintaining overall health and well-being. It helps fill nutritional gaps, supports immune function, bone health, and energy metabolism.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
One tablet daily, preferably with a meal, or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
One tablet daily, preferably with a meal, or as directed by a physician. No specific dose adjustment generally required.
Renal_impairment
Use with caution and consult a physician, especially if containing significant amounts of potassium or phosphorus.
How to Take
Take orally with a glass of water, preferably with a meal to enhance absorption and minimize gastrointestinal upset.
Mechanism of Action
Vitamins act as coenzymes or precursors for various metabolic processes, while minerals are essential for enzyme function, structural integrity, fluid balance, and nerve transmission. FullCare provides these micronutrients to support optimal cellular function.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Nutritional benefits are generally observed with consistent long-term use rather than immediate onset.
Excretion
Primarily through urine for water-soluble vitamins and some minerals; bile and feces for fat-soluble vitamins and some minerals.
Half life
Highly variable, ranging from hours to days depending on the specific vitamin or mineral and its storage in the body.
Absorption
Vitamins and minerals are absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract through various active and passive transport mechanisms. Absorption rates vary depending on the specific nutrient, its form, and the presence of other dietary factors.
Metabolism
Water-soluble vitamins (B, C) are generally not stored and excess is excreted. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) are stored in fat tissues and the liver. Minerals are utilized or excreted by the kidneys.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to any component of FullCare
- Hypervitaminosis (excessive levels of specific vitamins)
- Severe kidney or liver disease (consult physician)
- Hemochromatosis or other iron overload disorders (if containing iron)
Drug Interactions

Thyroid Hormones
Calcium and iron can interfere with the absorption of thyroid hormones. Take at least 4 hours apart.
Anticoagulants (e.g., Warfarin)
Vitamin K can reduce the effect of anticoagulants. Consult a physician.
Tetracycline and Quinolone Antibiotics
Minerals (e.g., iron, calcium, zinc) can interfere with the absorption of these antibiotics. Take at least 2 hours apart.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from light and moisture. Do not freeze.
Overdose
Symptoms of overdose may include nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, headache, and in severe cases, hypervitaminosis or mineral toxicity depending on the specific component. Seek immediate medical attention.
