Hyperoxaluria
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
Ascorbic acid should be given with care to patients with underlying
renal failure due to the risk of
formation of renal oxalate calculi. Tolerance may be induced in
patients taking high doses.
Large doses of Ascorbic Acid have resulted in haemolysis in patients
with glucose-6-phosphate
dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency.
4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of
interaction
Drugs which induce tissue desaturation of ascorbic acid include
aspirin, nicotine from cigarettes, alcohol,
several appetite suppressants, iron, phenytoin, some anti-convulsant
drugs, the oestrogen component of
oral contraceptives and tetracycline. Large doses of ascorbic acid may
cause the urine to become acidic
causing unexpected renal tubular reabsorption of acidic drugs, thus
producing an exaggerated response.
Conversely basic drugs may exhibit decreased reabsorption resulting in
a decreased therapeutic effect.
Large doses may reduce the response to oral anticoagulants.
It has been reported that concurrent administration of ascorbic acid
and fluphenazine has resulted in
decreased fluphenazine plasma concentrat
