Pharmacological Action

Reddyvit is a combined multivitamin preparation containing the trace element zinc. The action of Reddyvit is determined by the components that make up its composition.

Zinc is one of the most important trace elements, plays an important role in a number of biological processes, is a coenzyme of nucleic acid synthesis reactions, participates in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids, in the processes of cell division, their growth, and regeneration. It has a direct effect on the formation of collagen tissues and the skeleton. Zinc deficiency in the body affects the condition of the skin and hair. Zinc-containing enzymes belong to all six classes of enzymes involved in all metabolic processes in the body.

Vitamin B₁ (Thiamine mononitrate) is a water-soluble vitamin that acts as a coenzyme in carbohydrate metabolism. It is a precursor of cocarboxylase, necessary for the synthesis of nucleic acids, nucleotides, fatty acids, and acetylcholine. It is important for the functioning of the nervous system.

Vitamin B₂ (Riboflavin) is a water-soluble vitamin involved in energy metabolism processes. It is a coenzyme of redox reactions. It plays an important role in the formation of DNA and promotes tissue regeneration processes. It is necessary for the regulation of hematopoiesis. In the presence of riboflavin, pyridoxine and nicotinic acid exhibit activity.

Vitamin B₃ (Nicotinamide) is a water-soluble vitamin. It is part of a large number of enzymes involved in the complex process of tissue respiration. It takes part in fat and carbohydrate metabolism. It improves microcirculation in tissues.

Vitamin B₆ (Pyridoxine hydrochloride) is a water-soluble vitamin. It is necessary for the active absorption of amino acids from the intestine, their transport into the bloodstream, and protein synthesis. It participates in the synthesis of gamma-aminobutyric acid (an inhibitory factor in the CNS), the conversion of tryptophan to serotonin and nicotinic acid. It takes part in the synthesis of hemoglobin.

Folic acid is necessary for the synthesis of nucleic acids, proteins, and DNA components. Together with vitamin B₁₂, it participates in the process of erythrocyte maturation. It stimulates erythropoiesis and leukopoiesis. It participates in the catabolism of formic acid.

Vitamin B₁₂ (Cyanocobalamin) is a water-soluble vitamin, present in the body mainly in the methylated form. It participates in the synthesis of nucleic acids, proteins, many enzymes, and succinic acid. It ensures the synthesis of lipoproteins in myelin tissue and glutathione. It is necessary for the normal maturation of erythrocytes, nerve sheath cells, and body growth.

Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin. It plays an important role in regulating redox processes. It participates in the synthesis of collagen, the formation of cell membranes and the normalization of capillary permeability: regulation of carbohydrate metabolism, blood clotting; it activates enzymes involved in the metabolism of folic acid, the synthesis of steroid hormones and catecholamines, and promotes the absorption of iron from the gastrointestinal tract.

Calcium pantothenate is a salt of pantothenic acid (vitamin B₅). It is part of coenzyme A, which plays an important role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It promotes the construction and regeneration of epithelium and endothelium.

Indications

Deficiency of zinc, B vitamins and ascorbic acid.

Conditions accompanied by an increased need for B vitamins, ascorbic acid, zinc

• Unbalanced and inadequate nutrition;
• Long-term antibiotic therapy;
• Impaired absorption of vitamins against the background of diarrhea and other gastrointestinal disorders;
• Period of pregnancy and lactation;
• With impaired absorption of vitamins in old age;

As part of complex therapy during the period of convalescence after infectious diseases, injuries.

Dosage Regimen

Take one capsule once daily orally.

Administer the capsule after a meal to minimize potential gastric irritation.

Swallow the capsule whole; do not chew or crush it.

Take with a full glass of water.

The standard treatment course is 30 days.

For subsequent courses, follow the recommendation of a physician.

Do not exceed the recommended daily dosage.

In cases of concomitant iron therapy, take iron and Reddyvit at different times of the day to avoid reduced zinc absorption.

If you have diabetes, gout, or severe liver impairment, use this preparation with caution under medical supervision.

This product is not intended for use in children.

Adverse Reactions

Allergic reactions. Zinc salts can cause irritation of the gastric mucosa.

Contraindications

• Childhood;
• Increased individual sensitivity to the components of the drug.

With caution in diabetes, gout and severe liver dysfunction.

Use in Pregnancy and Lactation

Reddyvit may be prescribed to pregnant and lactating women with established deficiency of zinc, B vitamins and ascorbic acid.

Use in Hepatic Impairment

With caution: in severe liver dysfunction.

Pediatric Use

Contraindicated in childhood.

Special Precautions

Reddyvit cannot replace the main therapy of the primary disease.

It is not recommended to take Reddyvit in the presence of folate-dependent tumors.

Due to the presence of nicotinamide in the preparation, it should be prescribed with caution in diabetes, gout and severe liver dysfunction.

Taking iron preparations for the treatment or prevention of iron deficiency anemia may reduce the absorption of zinc in the gastrointestinal tract. Since Reddyvit contains Ascorbic acid, it is possible to obtain a distorted result in the test for the presence of glucose in the urine by the Benedict method, so test systems that do not depend on the presence of ascorbic acid should be used.

Taking the drug may cause urine to turn bright yellow, which is absolutely harmless and is explained by the presence of riboflavin in the composition of the drug.

Drug Interactions

Pyridoxine reduces the activity of levodopa (however, this phenomenon is not observed when taken together with DOPA-carboxylase); reduces the plasma concentration of phenobarbital. Isoniazid, penicillamine and oral contraceptives increase the need for pyridoxine.

Cyanocobalamin – absorption from the gastrointestinal tract is reduced under the influence of neomycin, aminosalicylic acid, H₂-histamine receptor antagonists, colchicine. The concentration of cyanocobalamin in plasma may decrease while taking oral contraceptives. These interactions are not clinically significant, but they should be taken into account when determining the vitamin content in the blood. Parenteral administration of chloramphenicol weakens the therapeutic effect of vitamin B₁₂ in the treatment of anemia.

Folic acid may cause a decrease in the concentration of phenytoin in the blood serum.

Nicotinic acid when used together with statins increases the risk of developing myopathies and acute necrosis of skeletal muscles. Nicotinamide may increase the need for insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents.

Ascorbic acid increases the absorption of iron.

The absorption of zinc is reduced in the presence of iron-containing drugs, penicillamine, phosphorus-containing drugs, tetracyclines. Zinc-containing drugs reduce the absorption of copper and iron ions, ciprofloxacin, penicillamine and tetracyclines.
