Description
Overview of the medicine
Kvit-Gold Tablet is a comprehensive nutritional supplement containing essential vitamins and minerals designed to support overall health, boost immunity, and compensate for dietary deficiencies.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Typically one tablet daily, preferably with a meal, or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
Same as adult dosage, unless specific deficiencies or conditions dictate otherwise.
Renal_impairment
Use with caution. Dosage adjustment may be required in severe renal impairment, consult a physician.
How to Take
Oral. Swallow the tablet whole with water, preferably with a meal to enhance absorption and minimize gastrointestinal upset.
Mechanism of Action
Provides essential micronutrients vital for various metabolic processes, enzyme functions, and cellular activities, thus supporting energy production, immune function, and overall well-being.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Nutritional effects are gradual and sustained with regular use, not immediate.
Excretion
Water-soluble vitamins and excess minerals are primarily excreted via the kidneys in urine. Fat-soluble vitamins are excreted in bile and feces.
Half life
Variable depending on the specific vitamin/mineral; water-soluble vitamins have shorter half-lives, while fat-soluble vitamins can accumulate.
Absorption
Vitamins and minerals are absorbed primarily in the small intestine through various active and passive transport mechanisms. Absorption rates vary depending on the specific nutrient and dietary factors.
Metabolism
Water-soluble vitamins are generally not extensively metabolized and are excreted. Fat-soluble vitamins are metabolized in the liver. Minerals are integrated into various biochemical pathways.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- •Hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation.
- •Hypervitaminosis (especially fat-soluble vitamins).
- •Severe renal or hepatic impairment without medical supervision.
Drug Interactions
Levothyroxine
Calcium and iron can interfere with levothyroxine absorption. Separate administration by several hours.
Tetracyclines/Quinolones
Minerals (e.g., calcium, magnesium, iron) can chelate with these antibiotics, reducing their absorption. Take Kvit-Gold at least 2 hours before or 4-6 hours after these medications.
Anticoagulants (e.g., Warfarin)
Vitamin K can reduce the effect of warfarin. Kvit-Gold typically has low Vitamin K, but caution is advised with high doses.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place, below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Acute overdose is rare with multivitamin/multimineral supplements but can occur with very high doses, potentially leading to hypervitaminosis (especially fat-soluble vitamins like A and D) or mineral toxicity (e.g., iron overdose). Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, headache. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Generally considered safe and beneficial during pregnancy and lactation to meet increased nutritional demands, but should be taken under medical advice.
