Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
One tablet daily, preferably with or after food, or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
One tablet daily, or as directed by a physician. Dosage may need adjustment based on individual health status.
Renal_impairment
Consult a physician. Dosage may need adjustment, especially for certain mineral components.
How to Take
To be taken orally, swallowed whole with water, preferably with or after a meal to enhance absorption and minimize gastrointestinal upset.
Mechanism of Action
Provides essential vitamins and minerals crucial for various metabolic processes, immune function, and cellular health. Ginseng acts as an adaptogen, enhancing physical and mental performance and reducing stress.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Gradual, as nutrient levels build up in the body.
Excretion
Mainly via renal (water-soluble vitamins) and fecal routes (unabsorbed minerals, fat-soluble vitamins).
Half life
Specific half-lives for individual components; widely variable.
Absorption
Varies for each vitamin and mineral; generally absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Metabolism
Primarily in the liver and other tissues, according to the specific nutrient.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation.
- Hypervitaminosis (especially with Vitamin A or D).
- Conditions involving iron or copper accumulation (e.g., hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease).
- Severe renal or hepatic impairment without medical supervision.
Drug Interactions
Antacids
May impair the absorption of certain minerals (e.g., iron).
Thyroid hormones
Calcium and iron can interfere with the absorption of thyroid hormones. Administer at least 4 hours apart.
Anticoagulants (e.g., Warfarin)
Vitamin K in multivitamins may reduce the effect of warfarin. Regular monitoring of INR is advised.
Tetracyclines and Quinolone antibiotics
Minerals (calcium, iron, zinc) can chelate these antibiotics, reducing their absorption. Administer at least 2-4 hours apart.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place, below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Overdose is rare with standard multivitamin preparations. However, excessive intake of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) or certain minerals (iron, zinc) can lead to toxicity. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache. Management is symptomatic and supportive.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Consult a physician before use during pregnancy or lactation. While generally safe at recommended doses, specific nutrient needs and potential for excessive intake should be evaluated.
