Description
Overview of the medicine
Lyfovit is a comprehensive multivitamin and multimineral supplement formulated to provide essential nutrients for overall health and well-being, supporting various bodily functions and compensating for dietary deficiencies.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Typically, 1 tablet daily or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
Same as adult dosage, or as advised by a physician.
Renal_impairment
Use with caution; consult a physician for dosage adjustment in severe cases, especially for minerals.
How to Take
Can be taken with or without food. Taking with food may improve absorption and reduce gastrointestinal upset.
Mechanism of Action
Provides essential vitamins and minerals that act as co-factors, antioxidants, and structural components for various metabolic processes, enzyme functions, and cellular activities within the body.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Gradual, as nutritional benefits accumulate over time with consistent use.
Excretion
Water-soluble vitamins and many minerals are excreted renally. Fat-soluble vitamins are primarily excreted via bile and feces.
Half life
Highly variable for each component, ranging from hours to days.
Absorption
Varies significantly based on the specific vitamin/mineral, their form, and presence of other dietary components. Most water-soluble vitamins are readily absorbed, while fat-soluble vitamins require bile salts.
Metabolism
Water-soluble vitamins are generally not extensively metabolized and excess is excreted. Fat-soluble vitamins are metabolized in the liver.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to any component
- Hypervitaminosis (excessive levels of specific vitamins)
- Severe renal or hepatic impairment (caution for certain minerals/vitamins)
Drug Interactions
Antacids
May impair absorption of some minerals; avoid concurrent use.
Thyroid hormones
Iron and calcium can interfere with thyroid hormone absorption; separate administration by 4 hours.
Tetracyclines/Fluoroquinolones
May reduce absorption of iron and zinc; separate administration by at least 2 hours.
Storage
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Overdose is rare with standard multivitamin formulations but can occur with very high doses of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) or certain minerals (e.g., iron). Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, and in severe cases, more serious toxicity. Treatment is supportive and symptomatic.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Generally considered safe and beneficial as a supplement during pregnancy and lactation, but use under medical supervision to avoid excessive dosing of certain vitamins (e.g., Vitamin A).
