Special instructions

It is recommended to take the drug for the shortest possible course and in the minimum effective dose necessary to eliminate symptoms.

Patients with diabetes should note that each tablet contains about 2.6 g of sugar (0.22 XE).

High doses of ascorbic acid increase the excretion of oxalates, promoting the formation of kidney stones. Newborns whose mothers took high doses of ascorbic acid and adults who took high doses may experience rebound scurvy. With long-term use of large doses, inhibition of the function of the insular apparatus of the pancreas is possible.

In patients with high iron levels in the body, ascorbic acid should be used in minimal doses.

Ascorbic acid, as a reducing agent, can distort the results of various laboratory tests (the content of glucose, bilirubin in the blood and urine, the activity of “liver” transaminases and lactate dehydrogenase).

Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and machinery

The drug does not affect the ability to drive vehicles and machinery, as well as to engage in other potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions.

Pregnancy

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the drug is used only if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus and child.

Side Effects

The following adverse reactions were observed with short-term use of the drug in recommended doses. When treating chronic conditions and with long-term use, other adverse reactions may occur.

The incidence of adverse reactions was assessed based on the following criteria: very often (≥ 1/10), often (from ≥ 1/100 to < 1/10), infrequently (from ≥ 1/1000
to <1/100), rare (from ≥ 1/10,000 to <1/1000), very rare (<1/10,000),
frequency unknown (insufficient data to estimate frequency).

Immune system disorders

Frequency unknown: hypersensitivity reactions.

Gastrointestinal disorders

Frequency unknown: nausea, abdominal pain, discomfort in the mouth (burning or tingling sensation, swelling).

Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders

Frequency unknown: rash.

If the above or other adverse reactions not listed in the instructions occur, you should stop using the drug and consult a doctor.

Interaction

No clinically significant interactions with other drugs have been identified. Concomitant use of the drug with other local antimicrobial agents is possible.

Ascorbic acid increases the absorption of drugs from the penicillin group, iron, reduces the clinical effect of heparin and indirect anticoagulants, increases the risk of developing crystalluria during treatment with salicylates and short-acting sulfonamides, slows down the excretion of acids by the kidneys, increases the excretion of drugs that have an alkaline reaction (including alkaloids), reduces the concentration in the blood of oral contraceptives.

Increases the overall clearance of ethanol, which in turn reduces the concentration of ascorbic acid in the body.

Quinoline drugs, calcium supplements, salicylates, and glucocorticosteroid drugs deplete ascorbic acid reserves when used for a long time.

When used simultaneously, it reduces the chronotropic effect of isoprenaline.

With long-term use or use in high doses, it may interfere with the interaction of disulfiram and ethanol.

In high doses, it increases the excretion of mexiletine by the kidneys.

Barbiturates and primidone increase the excretion of ascorbic acid by the kidneys.

Reduces the therapeutic effect of antipsychotic drugs (neuroleptics) – phenothiazine derivatives, tubular reabsorption of amphetamine and tricyclic antidepressants.

Overdose

It is unlikely that a possible overdose can lead to discomfort from the gastrointestinal tract: nausea.

High doses of ascorbic acid (more than 3000 mg) can cause temporary osmotic diarrhea and gastrointestinal disturbances, such as nausea, gastric discomfort, frequent urination, nephrolithiasis.

Treatment: symptomatic under medical supervision, forced diuresis.
