Description
Overview of the medicine
Proviten-JR Injection is a sterile solution containing a combination of essential B vitamins, Vitamin C, and potentially other minerals, designed to replenish nutritional deficiencies and support general well-being, especially when oral administration is not feasible or rapid replenishment is required.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Typically 1-2 ampoules daily or as directed by a physician, administered intramuscularly or slowly intravenously.
Elderly
No specific dose adjustment is usually required, but caution is advised in patients with compromised renal function.
Renal_impairment
Caution should be exercised; dosage adjustment may be necessary in severe renal impairment due to potential accumulation of some components.
How to Take
Administer intramuscularly or slowly intravenously. For intravenous use, it may be diluted in suitable infusion fluids (e.g., Normal Saline, Dextrose 5%). Ensure aseptic technique during administration.
Mechanism of Action
The components of Proviten-JR Injection act as coenzymes in various metabolic pathways, facilitating energy production, cell growth, red blood cell formation, nerve function, and immune system support. Vitamin C is crucial for collagen synthesis and acts as an antioxidant. Minerals like zinc (if present) are vital for enzymatic reactions and immune function.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Relatively rapid, effects often noticeable within hours to days depending on the deficiency.
Excretion
Primarily renal (via urine).
Half life
Varies for individual components (e.g., B vitamins have relatively short half-lives and are water-soluble).
Absorption
Rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream following intramuscular or intravenous administration, bypassing first-pass metabolism.
Metabolism
Water-soluble vitamins are generally not extensively metabolized; excess excreted. Some B vitamins are metabolized in the liver.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any component of the injection
- Known allergy to any B vitamins or Vitamin C
Drug Interactions
Levodopa
Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) may reduce the efficacy of Levodopa in Parkinson's patients without a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor.
Folic Acid antagonists (e.g., Methotrexate)
May interfere with folate metabolism, though less relevant for direct vitamin B supplementation.
Storage
Store below 30°C, protected from light and moisture. Do not freeze.
Overdose
Overdose is rare with water-soluble vitamins as excess is usually excreted renally. However, excessive doses of certain B vitamins (e.g., Pyridoxine) can lead to peripheral neuropathy. Management is generally symptomatic and supportive.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Generally considered safe in pregnancy and lactation at recommended doses, as vitamins are essential for maternal and fetal/infant health. However, use only if clearly needed and under medical supervision.
