Description
Overview of the medicine
Naafvit-AZ Tablet is a dietary supplement formulated with essential vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin A and Zinc, to support overall health, boost immunity, and prevent nutritional deficiencies. It helps in maintaining healthy vision, skin, and immune function.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Usually 1 tablet daily, or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
No specific dosage adjustment required, follow adult dosage or as directed by a physician.
Renal_impairment
Consult a physician, especially for high doses, due to potential accumulation of some minerals.
How to Take
Take the tablet orally with water, preferably after a meal to enhance absorption and minimize gastrointestinal discomfort.
Mechanism of Action
The various vitamins and minerals in Naafvit-AZ Tablet act as cofactors for numerous enzymatic reactions, support cellular metabolism, contribute to antioxidant defense, and play crucial roles in maintaining physiological functions like vision, immune response, and bone health. Zinc is vital for immune function and cell division, while Vitamin A is essential for vision and epithelial integrity.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Nutritional benefits are typically observed with consistent daily intake over several weeks to months, as body stores are replenished.
Excretion
Water-soluble vitamins and excess minerals are primarily excreted via the kidneys in urine. Fat-soluble vitamins are excreted in bile and feces after hepatic metabolism.
Half life
Variable depending on the specific vitamin/mineral; water-soluble vitamins have shorter half-lives, while fat-soluble vitamins (like Vitamin A) can be stored in the body for longer durations.
Absorption
Vitamins and minerals are absorbed primarily in the small intestine through active transport and passive diffusion. Absorption rates vary depending on the specific nutrient, its form, and the presence of other dietary components.
Metabolism
Water-soluble vitamins are generally not metabolized extensively and are excreted. Fat-soluble vitamins undergo hepatic metabolism. Minerals are primarily utilized in various physiological processes.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation
- Known hypervitaminosis (especially for Vitamin A or D)
- Severe renal impairment
Drug Interactions
Antacids
May reduce the absorption of some minerals like iron and zinc.
Warfarin
High doses of Vitamin A may potentially enhance the effect of anticoagulants, though clinical significance is low for typical supplement doses.
Thyroid hormones
Calcium and iron may interfere with thyroid hormone absorption. Separate administration by several hours.
Tetracycline and Quinolone antibiotics
Zinc can chelate these antibiotics, reducing their absorption. Separate administration by at least 2-4 hours.
Storage
Store below 30°C in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Symptoms of overdose may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and in severe cases, hypervitaminosis A (fatigue, irritability, joint pain, liver damage). Management involves discontinuation of the supplement and supportive care. Consult a poison control center immediately.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Generally considered safe and often recommended during pregnancy and lactation to meet increased nutritional demands, but consult a physician to ensure appropriate dosage and avoid excessive intake, especially of Vitamin A.
