Description
Overview of the medicine
Visovit is a comprehensive multivitamin and multimineral supplement designed to prevent and treat vitamin and mineral deficiencies, support overall health, and boost immunity.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Usually 1 tablet/capsule daily or as directed by physician.
Elderly
No specific dosage adjustment usually required, follow adult dosage.
Renal_impairment
Consult physician for specific advice, especially for certain minerals (e.g., potassium, phosphorus) if kidney function is severely compromised.
How to Take
Take orally, preferably with a meal to enhance absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and reduce gastrointestinal upset.
Mechanism of Action
Provides essential vitamins and minerals crucial for various metabolic functions, enzymatic reactions, cell growth, and overall physiological processes.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Nutritional benefits are gradual and cumulative over time.
Excretion
Water-soluble vitamins are primarily excreted via urine; fat-soluble vitamins are excreted via bile and feces.
Half life
Highly variable for individual components; water-soluble vitamins have shorter half-lives than fat-soluble vitamins.
Absorption
Varies for each vitamin and mineral; generally well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Metabolism
Water-soluble vitamins are mostly excreted unchanged or as active metabolites; fat-soluble vitamins are metabolized in the liver.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation
- Hypervitaminosis (excessive vitamin levels)
- Severe kidney or liver disease (consult physician)
Drug Interactions
Antacids
May reduce absorption of certain minerals (e.g., iron).
Diuretics
Some may affect mineral levels (e.g., potassium-sparing diuretics).
Tetracycline/Quinolone antibiotics
Absorption may be reduced if taken concurrently with iron or calcium; separate administration by several hours.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place, below 30°C, protected from light and moisture.
Overdose
Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, and in severe cases, symptoms of hypervitaminosis (especially for fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, K). Seek medical attention.
