Description
Overview of the medicine
Nutrifil-Gold Tablet is a dietary supplement that provides a comprehensive blend of essential vitamins and minerals crucial for maintaining overall health and well-being. It helps fill nutritional gaps and supports various bodily functions.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
One tablet daily, preferably with or after a meal, or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
No specific dosage adjustment is typically required; follow adult dosage or physician's advice.
Renal_impairment
Generally safe, but patients with severe renal impairment should consult a physician due to potential accumulation of certain minerals.
How to Take
Take the tablet orally, with a glass of water, preferably with or after your main meal to enhance absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and minimize gastrointestinal upset.
Mechanism of Action
This supplement works by providing essential micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) that may be lacking in the diet. These nutrients act as coenzymes in various metabolic pathways, support cellular function, boost immune response, and possess antioxidant properties.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
The effects are generally gradual, accumulating over time to correct deficiencies and support long-term health rather than immediate onset.
Excretion
Water-soluble vitamins and excess minerals are primarily excreted via the kidneys in urine. Fat-soluble vitamins are excreted slowly, mainly through bile.
Half life
Half-lives vary widely for each component; water-soluble vitamins are excreted relatively quickly, while fat-soluble vitamins can be stored.
Absorption
Absorption rates vary for individual vitamins and minerals, influenced by factors like food intake, gut health, and other dietary components.
Metabolism
Metabolism primarily occurs in the liver for many components, with some undergoing renal or intestinal metabolism.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation
- Hypervitaminosis (excessive levels of certain vitamins)
- Severe iron overload conditions (e.g., hemochromatosis)
Drug Interactions
Levothyroxine
Calcium and iron can interfere with levothyroxine absorption. Take several hours apart.
Anticoagulants (e.g., Warfarin)
High doses of Vitamin K (if present) can counteract the effects of anticoagulants. Consult a doctor.
Tetracycline and Quinolone Antibiotics
Iron and calcium can reduce the absorption of these antibiotics. Take them at least 2 hours apart.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Protect from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of sight and reach of children.
Overdose
Overdose is rare with standard multivitamin doses, but excessive intake over prolonged periods can lead to hypervitaminosis (especially with fat-soluble vitamins A and D) or mineral toxicity (e.g., iron, zinc). Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, headache, and fatigue. In case of suspected overdose, seek immediate medical attention.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Nutrifil-Gold Tablet is generally considered safe and often recommended during pregnancy and lactation to meet increased nutritional demands, but it should be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
