Therapeutic Category

Dietary supplement for the prevention of colds, ARVI, incl. influenza

Indications

  • As a dietary supplement to the diet, it is an additional source of vitamin C, zinc, and hydroxycinnamic acids to help reduce the risk of colds and support the normal function of the immune system.
  • For use in adults and children over 14 years of age as part of a comprehensive approach to maintaining health during periods of increased epidemiological risk and seasonal decline in immunity.
  • It is recommended for individuals with an increased need for micronutrients that support immune defense, particularly vitamin C and zinc, during times of high physical or mental stress.

Contraindications

  • Individual hypersensitivity to any of the components of the dietary supplement, including both active ingredients and excipients such as sorbitol or steviol glycosides.
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding (due to the lack of sufficient clinical data on the safety of the specific combination of ingredients in these populations).
  • Progressive systemic diseases such as tuberculosis, leukemia, collagenosis, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune diseases, and other conditions affecting the immune system.
  • Children under 14 years of age, as the safety and efficacy for this age group have not been established.
  • Patients with hereditary fructose intolerance, as the product contains sorbitol, which is contraindicated in this condition.

Dosage Regimen

The method of application and dosage regimen for a specific drug depend on its form of release and other factors. The optimal dosage regimen is determined by the doctor. It is necessary to strictly adhere to the compliance of the dosage form of a specific drug with the indications for use and dosage regimen.

For adults and children over 14 years of age: The recommended dose is one sachet (2 g) once daily. The contents of the sachet should be poured directly into the mouth and allowed to dissolve slowly. It is not intended to be dissolved in water or any other liquid.

The duration of use is 2 to 4 weeks. If necessary, the course may be repeated after a consultation with a healthcare professional. It is advisable to take the supplement with meals to enhance tolerance and absorption.

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. The product is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. The maximum beneficial effect is achieved with regular, continuous use throughout the recommended course.

Adverse Reactions

Adverse reactions are generally rare and mild, but possible. Allergic reactions are possible, including skin rash, itching, urticaria, and, in very rare cases, anaphylaxis, especially in individuals with known hypersensitivity to plants of the Asteraceae/Compositae family (e.g., ragweed, marigolds, daisies), as the product contains echinacea.

From the gastrointestinal tract, disturbances such as nausea, discomfort in the epigastric region, flatulence, or diarrhea may occur, which are often associated with the sorbitol content or high dose of vitamin C. These symptoms usually resolve upon discontinuation of the supplement.

Long-term use of high doses of zinc can lead to a decrease in copper absorption and, consequently, copper deficiency, which may manifest as neurological symptoms or anemia. It is important to adhere to the recommended course duration.

Drug Interactions

Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) may interact with certain medications. It can increase the absorption of iron from iron supplements. High doses of vitamin C may affect urine glucose tests in diabetic patients and potentially reduce the anticoagulant effect of warfarin.

Zinc can form insoluble complexes with tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics (e.g., ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin), as well as with bisphosphonates (e.g., alendronate), significantly reducing their absorption. To avoid this interaction, the dietary supplement should be taken at least 2 hours before or 4-6 hours after taking these medications.

Concomitant use of echinacea with drugs that affect the immune system (immunosuppressants) may theoretically reduce their efficacy. Caution is advised when taking echinacea with drugs metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 and 1A2 isoenzymes, although clinical significance is not fully established.

Overdose

In case of accidental intake of a dose significantly exceeding the recommended one, symptoms of overdose may occur. Acute overdose of vitamin C (doses above 2-3 g in a single intake) can cause gastrointestinal upset, including severe diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal cramps.

Chronic excessive intake of zinc (doses consistently above 40 mg per day for adults) can lead to copper deficiency, manifested as neutropenia, impaired immune function, and neurological changes. Symptoms of zinc toxicity itself may include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal cramps, and headache.

In case of suspected overdose, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor or poison control center. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. There is no specific antidote. Gastric lavage or administration of activated charcoal may be considered if the overdose is recent.
