CHEWIES VITAMIN C 100MG CHEWABLE TABLET (MAL 19911658XZ)
DESCRIPTION
An orange coloured, orange flavoured, round and chewable tablet. 15mm
in diameter and embossed with ‘Chewies 100’ on one side of the
tablet.
COMPOSITION
Each tablet contains:
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) 100mg
INDICATION
For the prevention and treatment of Vitamin C deficiency.
DOSAGE
PHARMACOKINETICS
For oral administration.
Children: 1-3 tablets daily to be sucked or chewed.
Ascorbic acid is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and
is
widely distributed in the body tissues. Plasma concentrations of
ascorbic
acid rise as the dose ingested is increased until a plateau is reached
with
doses of about 90 to 150mg daily. Body stored of ascorbic acid in
health
are about 1.5g although more may be stored at intakes above 200mg
daily.
The concentration is higher in leucocytes and platelets than in
erythrocytes
and plasma. In deficiency states the concentration in leucocytes
declines
later and at a slower rate, and has been considered to be a better
criterion
for the evaluation of deficiency than the concentration in plasma.
Ascorbic
acid is reversibly oxidised to dehydroascorbic acid; some is
metabolised to
ascorbate-2-sulfate, which is inactive, and oxalic acid which are
excreted in
the urine. Ascorbic acid in excess of the body's needs is also rapidly
eliminated unchanged in the urine; this generally occurs with intakes
exceeding
100mg
daily.
Ascorbic
acid
crosses
the
placenta
and
is
distributed into breast milk. It is removed by haemodialysis.
PRECAUTIONS
Use of ascorbic acid should be carefully considered when the following
medical problem exists.
Cystiniria, gout, hyperoxaluria or oxalosis, urate renal stones,
Diabetis
mellitus,
glycose-6-phosphate
dehydrogenase
deficiency,
hemochromatosis, sideroblastic anemia, thalassemia, sickle cell anemia
DRUG INTERACTION
Ascorbic
acid
may
interfere
with
the
effects
of
oral
anticoagulants,
anticholinergics and barbiturates
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Unknown contraindications.
