Description
Overview of the medicine
Nutrum Gold Tablet is a comprehensive dietary supplement formulated with essential vitamins and minerals to support overall health, vitality, and well-being. It helps to fill nutritional gaps, boost immunity, and maintain energy levels.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Usually one tablet daily, or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
One tablet daily, or as directed by a physician. No specific dose adjustment typically needed unless underlying conditions warrant.
Renal_impairment
Consult a physician. Caution advised as some minerals (e.g., potassium, phosphorus) may require monitoring in severe renal impairment.
How to Take
Take orally, preferably with or after a meal to enhance absorption and minimize gastrointestinal upset. Swallow the tablet whole with water.
Mechanism of Action
The various vitamins act as coenzymes in numerous metabolic processes, while minerals are crucial for enzyme function, structural integrity, and physiological processes. Together, they support cellular function, energy production, bone health, immune response, and antioxidant protection.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Benefits accrue over days to weeks with consistent use, as nutrient levels gradually normalize and physiological processes improve.
Excretion
Water-soluble vitamins and excess minerals are primarily excreted via the kidneys (urine). Fat-soluble vitamins are excreted via bile and feces.
Half life
Highly variable for individual components; water-soluble vitamins have shorter half-lives (hours) and are excreted readily, while fat-soluble vitamins (days to months) and some minerals can accumulate.
Absorption
Vitamins and minerals are absorbed primarily in the small intestine through various active and passive transport mechanisms. Absorption rates vary depending on the specific nutrient, its form, and presence of other dietary factors.
Metabolism
Water-soluble vitamins are generally not extensively metabolized before excretion. Fat-soluble vitamins are metabolized in the liver. Minerals are integrated into various tissues or excreted.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- •Hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation
- •Hypervitaminosis (excessive levels of certain vitamins, especially fat-soluble ones)
- •Hemochromatosis or other iron overload disorders
- •Severe renal or hepatic impairment (use with caution)
Drug Interactions
Diuretics (Loop)
May increase excretion of calcium, magnesium, potassium.
Thyroid hormones
Calcium and iron can interfere with thyroid hormone absorption. Take several hours apart.
Diuretics (Thiazide)
May increase blood calcium levels.
Tetracyclines & Quinolones
Iron and calcium can chelate these antibiotics, reducing their absorption. Take at least 2-4 hours apart.
Anticoagulants (e.g., Warfarin)
Vitamin K can reduce the anticoagulant effect. Monitor INR if high doses of Vitamin K are present.
Antacids, Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)
May reduce absorption of iron, calcium, and vitamin B12.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Overdose with standard multivitamin/multimineral preparations is rare when taken as directed. Symptoms of acute overdose may include severe gastrointestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), headache, dizziness, and muscle weakness. Chronic overdose, especially of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) or certain minerals (e.g., iron), can lead to hypervitaminosis or mineral toxicity. Treatment is generally supportive and symptomatic, with discontinuation of the supplement. In case of suspected overdose, seek immediate medical attention.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Nutrum Gold Tablet is often recommended during pregnancy and lactation to meet increased nutritional demands. However, it is essential to consult a physician before use to ensure appropriate dosing and safety for both mother and baby.
