Uses of Viscorbat 100

Viscorbat 100 contains the active ingredient Ascorbic Acid 100mg, which is indicated for the purpose of strengthening the body's vitamins in debilitated patients, strengthening resistance in patients with infections.

Viscorbat 100 is prepared in the form of effervescent tablets containing 100mg of the active ingredient Ascorbic Acid. Ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, plays an important role in the body such as participating in collagen formation, tissue repair in the body and participating in a number of redox reactions. Vitamin C participates in the synthesis of lipids and proteins; increase immune system function, increase resistance to pathogenic bacteria; preserves the integrity of blood vessels and plays a role in cellular respiration. Ascorbic acid deficiency in the body will lead to scurvy, in which errors in collagen synthesis with symptoms of slow wound healing, defects in tooth structure, broken capillaries causing hemorrhagic spots, bleeding under the skin and mucous membranes . Viscorbat 100 is indicated to strengthen and supplement vitamins for the body in patients with fatigue due to exertion, weakness and strengthen the body's resistance in infectious diseases.

Viscobat 100 effervescent tablets are taken by dissolving and an appropriate amount of water to drink during the day. Note: Do not take Viscorbat 100 on an empty stomach or in the evening. The recommended dose of Viscorbat 100 is as follows:

Contraindicated to use Viscorbat 100 in the following cases:
Patients with deficiency of G6PD enzyme (glucose - 6 - phosphate dehydrogenase); Patients with kidney stones or a history of kidney stones; Patients with increased oxaluria and oxalate metabolism disorders (increasing the risk of kidney stones); People with Thalassemia. Precautions for use:
Treatment with high doses of vitamin C for a long time can lead to drug addiction, when reducing the dose, it will lead to vitamin C deficiency. Hyperoxaluria may occur after treatment with high doses of vitamin C.

Simultaneous use of vitamin C 200mg and 30mg elemental iron increases iron absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. However, most patients absorb iron well without taking additional vitamin C; Concomitant use of vitamin C and Aspirin reduces the urinary excretion of Aspirin and reduces the excretion of vitamin C; Fluphenazine plasma concentrations are reduced when used concomitantly with Vitamin C; Urine acidification after ascorbic acid administration may alter the excretion of some drugs; High dose Ascorbic acid destroys vitamin B12, so patients need to take Ascorbic acid 1 hour before or 1 hour after taking vitamin B12; Ascorbic acid is a strong reducing agent, so it affects the test results based on the redox reaction; The presence of Ascorbic Acid in the urine artificially increases glucose levels if measured with copper(II) sulfate reagent and reduces glucose levels if measured with glucose oxidase. Drug interactions occur that increase the risk of side effects and reduce the therapeutic effect of Viscorbat 100, so to ensure safety and effectiveness in treatment, patients need to inform their doctor about drugs and foods. were using before taking Viscorbat.
