Description
Overview of the medicine
Restovit-Plus Capsule is a comprehensive dietary supplement formulated to provide essential vitamins and minerals necessary for maintaining overall health, boosting immunity, and enhancing energy levels. It helps bridge nutritional gaps in the diet.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
One capsule daily, preferably after a meal, or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
Same as adult dosage, or as advised by a physician.
Renal_impairment
No specific dose adjustment is usually required, but caution is advised in severe renal impairment; consult a physician.
How to Take
Restovit-Plus Capsule should be taken orally with water, preferably after a meal to enhance absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and minimize gastrointestinal upset.
Mechanism of Action
The various vitamins and minerals in Restovit-Plus act as coenzymes, cofactors, antioxidants, and structural components involved in numerous metabolic processes, immune functions, bone health, and energy production within the body.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
The therapeutic effects of multivitamins are typically gradual and become apparent with consistent use over several weeks to months, as the body's nutrient stores are replenished and maintained.
Excretion
Water-soluble vitamins are primarily excreted via the kidneys (urine). Unabsorbed minerals and fat-soluble vitamins are predominantly eliminated through the feces, or stored in various tissues if in excess.
Half life
Half-lives vary widely for each component. Water-soluble vitamins generally have shorter half-lives and are excreted relatively quickly, whereas fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) can accumulate and have longer half-lives.
Absorption
Absorption varies significantly among the different vitamins and minerals. Water-soluble vitamins are generally well-absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, while fat-soluble vitamins require dietary fat for optimal absorption. Minerals also have varying absorption rates.
Metabolism
Metabolism pathways are specific to each vitamin and mineral. For instance, B vitamins are involved in various metabolic cycles, while minerals are often used as cofactors or structural components and are not extensively metabolized in the traditional sense.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients in the formulation
- Severe hypervitaminosis (especially with fat-soluble vitamins) existing before therapy
- Hemochromatosis or other iron overload disorders (due to iron content)
Drug Interactions
Diuretics (e.g., Thiazides)
May increase calcium reabsorption. Consult a physician.
Anticoagulants (e.g., Warfarin)
High doses of Vitamin K or Vitamin E might theoretically interfere with anticoagulant therapy, though generally not significant with typical multivitamin doses. Monitor INR if concerned.
Tetracycline and Quinolone Antibiotics
Minerals like iron, calcium, and zinc can chelate these antibiotics, reducing their absorption. Take Restovit-Plus at least 2-4 hours apart.
Antacids, Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)
May decrease the absorption of certain minerals (e.g., iron, zinc) if taken concurrently. Separate administration by at least 2 hours.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Overdose with typical multivitamin/multimineral supplements is rare but can occur with extremely high doses, leading to hypervitaminosis (particularly with fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E) or mineral toxicity (e.g., iron). Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, headache, fatigue, and in severe cases, more serious organ damage. Management involves discontinuing the supplement and symptomatic and supportive treatment.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Restovit-Plus is generally considered safe and often recommended during pregnancy and lactation to meet increased nutritional demands, provided the dosage does not exceed recommended daily allowances. However, always consult a healthcare professional before use.
