Description
Overview of the medicine
Kiditonic Syrup is a comprehensive nutritional supplement formulated with essential vitamins, minerals, and Lysine. It is designed to support healthy growth and development in children, improve appetite, and enhance overall well-being. It helps address nutritional deficiencies and boosts immunity.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
1-2 teaspoonfuls (5-10 ml) 2-3 times daily.
Elderly
Same as adult dosage or as advised by physician.
Renal_impairment
Use with caution and consult a physician; dosage adjustment may be required due to mineral content.
How to Take
Kiditonic Syrup should be taken orally, preferably with or after meals to enhance absorption and minimize gastrointestinal upset. Shake the bottle well before use.
Mechanism of Action
The various B-vitamins act as co-enzymes in metabolic processes, essential for energy production and nerve function. Iron is crucial for hemoglobin formation and oxygen transport. Zinc plays a vital role in immune function, wound healing, and growth. Lysine is an essential amino acid important for protein synthesis, calcium absorption, and enzyme production, often linked to improved appetite.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Nutritional benefits are gradual, typically observed over days to weeks of consistent use.
Excretion
Water-soluble vitamins are primarily excreted via urine; minerals are excreted through feces and urine.
Half life
Half-lives vary greatly for individual components; B vitamins are water-soluble and generally have shorter half-lives, while minerals can accumulate.
Absorption
Vitamins and minerals are absorbed in the small intestine, with varying rates depending on the specific nutrient and presence of other food components. Lysine is actively absorbed.
Metabolism
B vitamins are metabolized in the liver; minerals are largely excreted unchanged or incorporated into tissues.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any component of the syrup.
- Conditions involving iron overload (e.g., hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis).
Drug Interactions
Antacids
Can reduce the absorption of Iron and Zinc. Maintain a gap of at least 2 hours.
Levodopa
Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) may reduce the effectiveness of Levodopa.
Tetracycline and Quinolone antibiotics

Storage
Store in a cool, dry place (below 30°C), protected from light and moisture. Do not freeze.
Overdose
Symptoms of overdose may include gastrointestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain), constipation or diarrhea. Severe iron overdose can be toxic. In case of suspected overdose, seek immediate medical attention.
