Description
Overview of the medicine
Lysovita-5-mg-syrup is a nutritional supplement combining Lysine Hydrochloride with essential B-vitamins, designed to support growth, stimulate appetite, and enhance overall well-being, especially in children and individuals with nutritional deficiencies.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
10-20 ml (2-4 teaspoons) 2-3 times daily or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
Dosage similar to adults, may vary based on general health and physician's advice.
Renal_impairment
Generally no specific adjustment needed for vitamin supplements, but use with caution in severe impairment and consult a physician.
How to Take
Oral administration. May be taken with or without food. Use a measuring spoon or cup for accurate dosing. Shake well before use.
Mechanism of Action
Lysine is an essential amino acid critical for protein synthesis, tissue repair, and the production of hormones, enzymes, and antibodies. B-vitamins act as coenzymes in various metabolic processes, including energy production, red blood cell formation, and nervous system function. Together, they promote growth and aid in recovery from illness.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Nutritional effects are gradual, usually seen over days to weeks.
Excretion
Lysine and water-soluble B-vitamins are primarily excreted via the kidneys.
Half life
Varies for individual B vitamins (minutes to hours). Lysine has a relatively short half-life.
Absorption
Lysine is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. B-vitamins are also well-absorbed orally.
Metabolism
Lysine is primarily metabolized in the liver. B-vitamins undergo various metabolic pathways, often involving phosphorylation to their active coenzyme forms.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any component of the syrup.
- Known severe kidney or liver disease (use with caution).
- Hyperlysinemia (a rare metabolic disorder).
Drug Interactions
Folic Acid
May interact with anticonvulsants.
Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6)
May reduce the effects of Levodopa.
Other vitamin supplements
Avoid concurrent use unless advised by a doctor to prevent overdosage.
Storage
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from light and moisture. Do not freeze. Keep the bottle tightly closed.
Overdose
Acute overdose is unlikely to cause serious adverse effects due to the water-soluble nature of components. Large doses may cause gastrointestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea). Treatment is symptomatic and supportive.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Generally considered safe at recommended dosages, but consult a physician before use. Ensure the total intake of vitamins from all sources does not exceed recommended daily allowances.
