Description
Overview of the medicine
Myrica-100-mg-capsule contains 100 mg of Myrica extract, formulated as a natural supplement to support general well-being, immune function, and alleviate mild inflammatory conditions through its antioxidant properties.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
100 mg (one capsule) once daily, preferably with a meal, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Elderly
No specific dosage adjustment is typically required; however, start with the lowest effective dose and monitor response.
Renal_impairment
Use with caution in severe renal impairment. Consultation with a physician is recommended.
How to Take
Take the capsule orally with a glass of water, preferably during a meal to enhance absorption and minimize potential gastrointestinal upset.
Mechanism of Action
Myrica extract is believed to exert its effects primarily through potent antioxidant activity, scavenging free radicals. It may also modulate inflammatory pathways by inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and prostaglandins, thus reducing systemic inflammation.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Noticeable effects usually observed within a few days to weeks of consistent daily use.
Excretion
Excreted mainly through renal (urine) and fecal routes as metabolites.
Half life
Approximately 6-8 hours, depending on individual metabolism.
Absorption
Well absorbed orally; peak plasma concentrations are typically achieved within 2-4 hours post-ingestion.
Metabolism
Primarily metabolized in the liver, likely via glucuronidation and sulfation pathways.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- •Hypersensitivity to Myrica extract or any component of the capsule.
- •Individuals with known bleeding disorders or those taking anticoagulant medications should use with extreme caution and under medical supervision.
- •Severe liver disease without medical consultation.
Drug Interactions
Immunosuppressants
The immunomodulatory effects of Myrica extract might theoretically interfere with immunosuppressive therapy; use with caution.
Anticoagulants (e.g., Warfarin)
Myrica extract may possess mild antiplatelet activity, potentially increasing the risk of bleeding when co-administered with blood thinners. Monitor INR closely.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
There is no specific antidote for Myrica extract overdose. In case of suspected overdose, discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention. Management should be symptomatic and supportive.
