Description
Overview of the medicine
Newseas Syrup is a comprehensive nutritional supplement containing essential vitamins and minerals, formulated to support overall health, growth, and development, especially in cases of dietary deficiencies or increased bodily demands.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
10 ml (2 teaspoonfuls) once daily or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
Same as adult dosage, or as advised by a physician, considering individual health status and potential renal/hepatic impairment.
Renal_impairment
Use with caution; consult physician as some minerals (e.g., potassium, phosphorus) may accumulate in severe cases.
How to Take
To be taken orally, preferably after meals for better absorption and to minimize gastrointestinal upset. Can be mixed with water or fruit juice if desired.
Mechanism of Action
Provides essential micronutrients necessary for various metabolic processes, enzyme functions, and cellular health, thereby compensating for dietary inadequacies and supporting optimal bodily functions.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Gradual, as it addresses nutritional deficiencies over time; symptomatic improvement may take weeks.
Excretion
Water-soluble vitamins are primarily excreted via urine; fat-soluble vitamins and minerals are excreted via bile or urine depending on type and metabolic fate.
Half life
Highly variable for individual components; water-soluble vitamins have shorter half-lives and are not stored extensively, while fat-soluble vitamins can be stored.
Absorption
Varies depending on the specific vitamin/mineral and its chemical form; generally absorbed in the small intestine. Fat-soluble vitamins require dietary fat for optimal absorption.
Metabolism
Each component undergoes specific metabolic pathways. Water-soluble vitamins are generally not extensively metabolized before excretion; fat-soluble vitamins are metabolized in the liver.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any component of Newseas Syrup
- Hypervitaminosis (excessive levels of specific vitamins, especially fat-soluble ones)
- Severe renal or hepatic impairment without medical consultation
- Hemochromatosis (iron overload disorder) if the syrup contains iron
Drug Interactions
Vitamin K
May interfere with anticoagulant medications like warfarin, requiring closer monitoring of INR.
Iron-containing supplements
May reduce the absorption of certain antibiotics (e.g., tetracyclines, quinolones) and levothyroxine. Separate doses by at least 2-4 hours.
Calcium-containing supplements
Can reduce the absorption of thyroid hormones, bisphosphonates, and some antibiotics. Administer at different times.
Storage
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children. Do not freeze.
Overdose
Symptoms of overdose may include nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, diarrhea, and in severe cases, signs of specific vitamin/mineral toxicity (e.g., hypervitaminosis A or D, iron poisoning). Treatment is primarily supportive and symptomatic, including discontinuation of the syrup and, if necessary, gastric lavage or administration of chelating agents for specific mineral toxicities.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and lactation when taken at recommended doses to meet increased nutritional demands. However, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should always consult a physician before taking any supplements to avoid potential overdose of certain vitamins/minerals.
