Description
Overview of the medicine
Multisina Pediatric Drop is a comprehensive multivitamin and multimineral supplement specifically formulated to meet the nutritional needs of growing infants and young children. It helps in healthy growth, bone development, immune function, and cognitive development.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Not applicable for pediatric drop; adult formulations are available if needed.
Elderly
Not applicable for pediatric drop.
Renal_impairment
Use with caution in severe renal impairment; consult a physician for dosage adjustment.
How to Take
Administer orally using the calibrated dropper provided. It can be given directly into the mouth or mixed with milk, formula, juice, or food. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
Mechanism of Action
This preparation provides a balanced blend of essential vitamins and minerals that act as cofactors for various enzymatic reactions, support cellular metabolism, immune system function, bone mineralization, and neurological development. Each component plays a specific role in maintaining physiological balance and preventing deficiency-related disorders.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Nutritional effects are gradual and sustained with regular intake.
Excretion
Water-soluble vitamins and excess minerals are primarily excreted via the kidneys. Fat-soluble vitamins are excreted via 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 in the gastrointestinal tract through various active and passive transport mechanisms. Absorption rates vary depending on the specific nutrient, its form, and the presence of other dietary factors.
Metabolism
Water-soluble vitamins are generally not extensively metabolized and are excreted, while fat-soluble vitamins undergo hepatic metabolism. Minerals are not metabolized but are involved in various biochemical pathways.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any of the active ingredients or excipients.
- Hypervitaminosis A or D.
- Conditions involving iron overload (e.g., hemochromatosis).
- Severe renal impairment without dose adjustment.
Drug Interactions
Antacids
Can reduce absorption of certain vitamins/minerals.
Tetracyclines/Quinolones
Iron and calcium can reduce absorption of these antibiotics. Administer separately by several hours.
Diuretics (e.g., Thiazides)
May increase calcium levels.
Vitamin K antagonists (e.g., Warfarin)
High doses of Vitamin E can potentially increase anticoagulant effect (though unlikely with pediatric multivitamin doses).
Storage
Store in a cool (below 30°C), dry place, protected from light. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Symptoms may include gastrointestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), headache, irritability, and in severe cases, hypervitaminosis A or D (fatigue, bone pain, increased intracranial pressure). Treatment involves discontinuing the product and supportive care. Iron overdose is particularly dangerous in children and requires immediate medical attention.
Pregnancy & Lactation
This is a pediatric formulation and not intended for use in pregnant or lactating women. Specific prenatal/postnatal supplements are available.
