Description
Overview of the medicine
V-Plex Pediatric Drop is a multivitamin preparation containing essential B-complex vitamins and Vitamin C, formulated specifically for infants and young children to support healthy growth and development, boost immunity, and prevent nutritional deficiencies.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Infants_0_1_year
0.3-0.6 ml daily, or as directed by a physician.
Renal_impairment
Consult a physician. Generally safe, but caution with extreme renal impairment.
Children_1_4_years
0.6-1 ml daily, or as directed by a physician.
How to Take
Administer orally using the provided calibrated dropper, directly into the mouth or mixed with milk, juice, or food. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
Mechanism of Action
B-complex vitamins act as coenzymes in various metabolic pathways, essential for carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism, and cellular energy production. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant crucial for immune function, collagen synthesis, and improved iron absorption.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Effects are gradual, primarily observed with correction of deficiencies.
Excretion
Primarily renal excretion of unmetabolized vitamins and their metabolites.
Half life
Varies by individual vitamin (generally short due to water-solubility).
Absorption
Readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Metabolism
Minimal or no metabolism for most B vitamins; active forms are utilized directly. Vitamin C is metabolized to oxalate.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation.
- Known hypervitaminosis (though rare with water-soluble vitamins at normal doses).
Drug Interactions
Levodopa
Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) may reduce the efficacy of levodopa (in Parkinson's patients, not typically relevant for pediatric use).
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place, below 30°C. Protect from direct light and moisture. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Overdose with water-soluble vitamins is rare as excess is usually excreted by the kidneys. Extremely high doses may cause mild gastrointestinal upset. In case of suspected overdose, discontinue use and seek medical advice. Symptomatic and supportive treatment is recommended.
Pregnancy & Lactation
This formulation is specifically for pediatric use. For adult multivitamin use during pregnancy or lactation, consult a healthcare professional.
