Action
Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics: Calcium Pantothenate also known as Vitamin B5 is a component of coenzyme A (CoA), an essential coenzyme in a variety of reactions that sustain life. CoA is required for chemical reactions that generate energy from food (fat, carbohydrates, and proteins).
Folic acid is necessary for purine and pyrimidine synthesis; required for nucleoprotein synthesis and maintenance in erythropoiesis; stimulates WBC and platelet production in folate deficiency anemia.
Niacinamide also known as Vitamin B3, is a component of two coenzymes which is necessary for tissue respiration, lipid metabolism, and glycogenolysis; inhibits the synthesis of very low density lipoproteins.
Thiamine mononitrate also known as Vitamin B1, is involved in numerous body functions including: nervous system and muscle functioning; flow of electrolytes in and out of nerve and muscle cells (through ion channels; multiple enzyme processes (via the co-enzyme thiamine pyrophosphate); and carbohydrate metabolism.
Riboflavin also known as Vitamin B2 is a component of flavoprotein enzymes that work together, which are necessary for normal tissue respiration; also needed for activation of pyridoxine and conversion of tryptophan to niacin.
Pyridoxine HCl also known as Vitamin B6, is involved principally in amino acid metabolism and is also involved in carbohydrate and fat metabolism. It is required for the synthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine, and for myelin formation. It is also required for the formation of hemoglobin.
Cyanocobalamin also known as Vitamin B12, occurs in the body mainly as methylcobalamin (mecobalamin) and as adenosylcobalamin (cobamamide) and hydroxycobalamin. Mecobalamin and cobamamide act as coenzymes in nucleic acid synthesis. Mecobalamin is also closely involved with folic acid in several important metabolic pathways.
Iron replaces iron, found in hemoglobin, myoglobin, and other enzymes; allows the transportation of oxygen via hemoglobin.
Ascorbic acid also known as Vitamin C, is required for the synthesis of collagen, an important structural component of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments, and bone. Vitamin C also plays an important role in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine. In addition, vitamin C is required for the synthesis of carnitine a small molecule that is essential for the transport of fat to cellular organelles called mitochondria, for conversion to energy. Vitamin C is also a highly effective antioxidant.
Indications/Uses
Nutritional supplementation for the prevention and treatment of the deficiencies from Vitamin B-complex and/or Iron & Folic Acid.
Dosage/Direction for Use
Adult: 1 tablet daily.
Or as prescribed by the physician.
Contraindications
Known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of the compound.
Special Precautions
Folic acid in doses more than 0.1 mg/day may obscure pernicious anemia. Niacinamide in large doses should be used with caution in patients with gallbladder disease or diabetes. Niacinamide may elevate uric acid levels, use with caution in patients predisposed to gout.
Administration of iron for more than 6 months should be avoided except in patients with continued bleeding, menorrhagia, or repeated pregnancies; avoid in patients with peptic ulcer, enteritis or ulcerative colitis.
Adverse Reactions
In rare cases, allergic hypersensitivity reactions have occurred and gastrointestinal reactions such as upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation have been observed. Bright yellow urine discoloration and black stool discoloration will also be noticed.
Storage
Store at temperatures not exceeding 30°C.
