Description
Overview of the medicine
Orioplex-5-mg-syrup is a nutritional supplement containing a blend of B-complex vitamins and zinc, designed to support overall health and address deficiencies. It helps in boosting immunity, improving metabolism, and maintaining healthy nervous system function.
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 based on individual needs.
Renal_impairment
Generally considered safe. Consult a physician for specific advice in severe renal impairment.
How to Take
To be taken orally, preferably with or after meals. Shake well before use.
Mechanism of Action
B-complex vitamins act as coenzymes in various metabolic processes, including energy production and cell function. Zinc is essential for immune function, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and cell division, acting as a cofactor for numerous enzymes.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Nutritional benefits are gradual, typically observed over weeks of consistent use.
Excretion
Water-soluble B vitamins are primarily excreted via urine. Excess zinc is excreted through feces, with a small amount via urine.
Half life
Variable depending on individual vitamins and minerals. Water-soluble vitamins have short half-lives (hours) and are excreted readily. Zinc's half-life is longer, influenced by body stores.
Absorption
B vitamins are generally well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Zinc absorption varies but is typically efficient, enhanced by low pH and certain amino acids.
Metabolism
B vitamins are metabolized in the liver; zinc is not extensively metabolized, primarily utilized or stored.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation
- Known history of hypervitaminosis (rare with this formulation)
Drug Interactions
Antacids
Some antacids may reduce zinc absorption.
Quinolone antibiotics

Storage
