Overview of the medicine
Uniplex-5mg Syrup is a multivitamin preparation containing essential B-complex vitamins and Lysine, formulated to support overall health, energy metabolism, and appetite. It helps in compensating for nutritional deficiencies and promotes growth, especially in children and adolescents.
Uses & Indications
Dosage

Adults: 1-2 teaspoonfuls (5-10 ml) 2-3 times daily, or as directed by a physician.

Renal impairment: Usually no dosage adjustment required for water-soluble vitamins, but consult a physician for severe cases.
How to Take
Oral administration. May be taken with or without food. Use a measuring spoon for accurate dosing.
Mechanism of Action
B-complex vitamins act as coenzymes in various metabolic pathways, essential for carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism, energy production, and nervous system function. Lysine is an essential amino acid crucial for protein synthesis, tissue repair, and hormone production, also known to stimulate appetite.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Nutritional benefits are gradual, typically observed over days to weeks of consistent use.
Excretion
Excreted primarily via the kidneys, mainly as metabolites or unchanged vitamins.
Half life
Varies for each component; water-soluble vitamins have short half-lives and are not extensively stored.
Absorption
Water-soluble vitamins are readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, primarily in the small intestine. Lysine is also well absorbed.
Metabolism
B-vitamins are metabolized in the liver to their active coenzyme forms. Lysine is metabolized in the liver.
