Pharmacological properties

Vitamin A, or retinol, plays a significant role in the normal functioning of the visual pigment rhodopsin, which ensures the correct perception of light by the structures of the eye. With its sufficient presence, the visual organs convert the light impulse into an electrical one, as a result of which the brain adequately perceives the incoming information and forms a picture.

Vitamin B1 is a coenzyme that regulates carbohydrate and energy metabolism. An important role is played by thiamine in the process of protecting the myelin sheath of nerves from various destructive effects, in including the effect of ethyl alcohol from alcoholic beverages and increased blood glucose levels with sugar diabetes.

Vitamin B2 is necessary for the synthesis of enzymes involved in the energy, fat and protein metabolism of all structures of the human body.

Pyridoxine, or vitamin B6, is part of most nitrogen metabolism products required for the processing of amino acids, tryptophan and the production of basic substances for further heme synthesis.

Vitamin B9, or folic acid, transfers some fragments from the content of 1 carbon molecule during the synthesis of purine compounds, thymidine and methionine.

Cyanocobalamin, or vitamin B12, takes part in almost all processes inside the human body. The substance takes part in the processing of fats and protein compounds with a branched structure and an odd number of carbon atoms.

Ascorbic acid is involved in the synthesis of collagen fibers and elastin, stimulates the production of antibodies to most common infections and strengthens the immune system.

Vitamin PP, or nicotinic acid, promotes the expansion of small blood vessels, and thereby significantly activates blood circulation in the periphery. In the metabolism, it takes part in oxidation and reduction reactions, the synthesis of enzymes, the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates in the cells of the body.

Rutin is one of the flavonoids with maximum activity. The substance prevents aging of the body, suppresses inflammatory processes, protects the tissues of the heart and brain from possible damage.

Ca pantothenate is involved in the processes of oxidation and acetylation, the production of acetylcholine, the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, the synthesis of porphyrins, various steroids, including hormones of the adrenal cortex. Its properties help to suppress the symptoms of colitis, arthritis, allergic reactions and heart pathologies.

Lipoate, or lipoic acid, can be used to better control blood sugar levels. Also, the substance is necessary for the normal metabolism of fats and amino acids throughout the human body. With excessive alcohol consumption, lipoic acid helps maintain normal liver function.

Other minerals in the vitamin-mineral complex provide replenishment of losses in the conditions of daily functioning of the body.

Pharmacokinetics

For the normal absorption of vitamins and minerals, a sufficient amount of bile and fats must be present, which stimulate its secretion. Some of the substances that make up the drug are soluble exclusively in fats, therefore, excessively lean food will interfere with their absorption.

After the initial absorption, vitamins undergo biological transformation in the liver tissues, while transforming into active forms. After this process, they begin to take an active part in metabolic processes. An exception is ascorbic acid, which is absorbed by the intestinal walls in its original form. In the same state, it works at the cellular level.

When vitamins and minerals have all the beneficial effects, they are gradually excreted from the body, mainly with urine, the other part with feces. Diuretics, laxatives and spontaneous diarrhea can increase losses.

Application

The drug should be taken after meals with a small amount of liquid. At the same time, it is undesirable to use coffee and tea for this, since they disrupt the absorption process of some vitamins, in particular, group B due to the content of tannins and tannins. It is best to drink vitamins with clean cool water at room temperature.

For adults

Complivit should be taken by adults 1 pc per day.

Do not exceed the recommended dosage, since an excess of incoming substances will leave the body without having any positive effect. At the same time, the risk of developing unwanted side effects will increase.

For pregnant

Women during gestation should take vitamins in strict accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations on the package. The risk is associated with the fact that exceeding the dosage of certain substances can lead to the development of defects in the growing fetus. In particular, the danger lies in the use of excessive doses of retinol, or vitamin A.

With a normal and sufficient intake, it contributes to the correct formation of the bone and circulatory systems, kidneys, visual organs, brain and immunity in a child.

But even a slight excess of the dosage on an ongoing basis contributes to the opposite effect of development the indicated organs and systems of the body, the appearance of deformities and various defects in the process of formation fabrics.

Therefore, it is necessary to take vitamin and mineral complexes without exceeding the optimal dose.

For the elderly

Vitamins intended for older people contain more antioxidants and other specific components that accelerate metabolic processes, neutralize the destructive activity of free radicals and have an antioxidant action.

Some of the preparations additionally contain some compounds that produce an effect similar to natural hormones. In old age, their use helps to stabilize the state of the body and somewhat prolong youth.

Contraindications

Complivit is not recommended for adults and children in the following cases:

• with increased sensitivity to the components in the composition;
• with poor tolerance to any other complexes;
• in children under 12 years of age.

For use during pregnancy, you can use only specially designed complexes for this.

Overdose

As a rule, an overdose of vitamins can happen only when fat-soluble substances are taken simultaneously with fatty foods. In most cases, there may be phenomena such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.

Therefore, treatment should be symptomatic with the use of laxatives and enterosorbents. Additionally, it is recommended to flush the stomach by drinking up to 1 liter of water and then causing vomiting. The procedure should be repeated 3-4 times.

It makes sense to do this only if no more than 15-20 minutes have passed after the intake. In the future, the procedure will not have a therapeutic effect if the drug was taken on an empty stomach.

If symptoms of poisoning such as nausea, vomiting, fever appear and intensify, you should immediately contact an ambulance for a professional procedure for removing toxins and excess vitamin and mineral substances.

Side effects

In some cases, standard side effects can be observed:

• diarrhea or constipation;
• nausea and vomiting;
• hives;
• rash.

In acute forms, discontinue use. In milder cases, after suppression of symptoms, you can restart the administration at a lower dose, reducing the frequency to 1 time in 2 days. With positive dynamics, in the future, it allows you to repeat the attempt to take the drug daily. Often, after the initial adaptation of the body, all side effects are no longer noted.

Drug interactions

Complivit should be taken by adults taking into account some features:

• iron and calcium in the composition of the drug reduce the absorption in the gastrointestinal tract of antibacterial drugs from the group of tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones;
• due to the content of ascorbic acid, in the case of taking sulfonamides, the risk of crystalluria increases;
• simultaneous reception with antacids containing aluminum, calcium or magnesium, the absorption of iron is difficult;
• the combination with thiazide diuretics increases the risk of hypercalcemia;
• vitamin C enhances the absorption of medicinal substances from the penicillin group;
• in patients with Parkinson's disease, vitamin B6 reduces the therapeutic activity of levodopa.

If there are contraindications, the best option for vitamin and mineral preparations should be selected only with an observing specialist.
