negative results with methods utilising glucose oxidase with indicator
(e.g.
Labstix, Testape) and false positive results with neocuproin methods.
Estimation of uric acid by phosphotungstate or by uricase with copper
reduction and measurement of creatinine in non-deproteinised serum may
also
be affected. High doses of vitamin C may give false negative readings
in
faecal occult blood tests.

intolerance, the LAPP
lactase

glucose-galactose

INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER MEDICAMENTS AND OTHER FORMS OF INTERACTION
Large doses of ascorbic acid may cause acidification of the urine
which could
alter the rate of renal excretion of some drugs. Ascorbic acid may
increase the
oral absorption of iron. It may also increase iron excretion when used
in
conjunction with desferrioxamine in the treatment of iron overload.
