Vitamin C tablets

Function and Efficacy

Vitamin C participates in many reactions in the body, such as participating in the redox process, and plays an important role in biological oxidation and reduction and cellular respiration. From the tissue level, the main role of vitamin C is related to the synthesis of intercellular matrix. Including collagen, the matrix of teeth and bones, and the junction between capillary endothelial cells. Therefore, when scurvy caused by vitamin C deficiency is accompanied by collagen synthesis defects, it manifests as difficult wound healing, impaired tooth formation and capillary damage causing a large number of ecchymosis points, which merge to form ecchymosis.

Indication

1. It is used to treat scurvy and can also be used as an auxiliary treatment for various acute and chronic infectious diseases and purpura. 2.

The following situations increase the need for vitamin C: (1) patients receiving chronic hemodialysis, gastrointestinal diseases (long-term diarrhea, gastric or ileal resection), tuberculosis, cancer, ulcer disease, hyperthyroidism, fever, infection, trauma, burns, surgery, etc.; (2) patients receiving parenteral nutrition due to strict control or selection of diet, malnutrition, sudden weight loss, and during pregnancy and lactation; (3) when using barbiturates, tetracyclines, salicylates, or vitamin C as a urinary system acidifier.

Usage and Dosage

Oral administration, 50-100 mg at a time, 100-300 mg per day.

Adverse Reactions

1. Long-term use of 2-3g per day may cause scurvy after discontinuation of the drug. 2. Long-term use of large amounts of vitamin C may occasionally cause urate, cysteine or oxalate stones. 3. Large amounts (daily dosage of more than 1g) may cause diarrhea, red and shiny skin, headache, frequent urination (daily dosage of more than 600mg), nausea and vomiting, and stomach cramps.

Precautions

1 Vitamin C should be taken on an empty stomach, but patients with gastrointestinal ulcers should use it with caution to avoid irritation to the ulcer surface, which may lead to worsening of the ulcer, bleeding or perforation. 2 People with poor renal function should not take too much vitamin C. Long-term overdose of vitamin C may cause excessive gastric acid, gastric reflux, and even urinary stones. People with kidney deficiency in particular should take less vitamin C. 3 Do not stop taking vitamin C suddenly after taking a large amount of it. If you stop taking it suddenly, it will cause withdrawal reactions from the drug, aggravate or relapse the symptoms. You should gradually reduce the dosage until you stop taking it completely. 4 Vitamin C should not be used in combination with isoniazid, aminophylline, streptomycin, penicillin and sulfonamides; otherwise, the efficacy of the above drugs will be reduced or ineffective due to the acidic environment. 5 Vitamin C is destructive to vitamin A.
