Duovit dragee №40

Mechanism of action

Combined preparation containing a complex of 11 Vitamins and 8 minerals, which are important factors of metabolic processes. To better assimilate the vitamin-mineral complex and preserve the activity of the main components, the vitamins and minerals are divided into different colored pills. Vitamins are found in red pills, minerals - in blue pills. Vitamin A is involved in the synthesis of various substances (proteins, lipids, mucopolysaccharides) and ensures the normal function of the skin, mucous membranes, and the organ of vision. Vitamin D3 plays an important role in maintaining the balance of Calcium and phosphorus in the body. With its lack of bone tissue, the calcium content decreases (osteoporosis). Vitamin B1 normalizes the activity of the heart and contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B2 promotes tissue regeneration, incl. skin cells. Vitamin B6 helps to maintain the structure and function of bones, teeth, gums; has an effect on erythropoiesis, contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B12 is involved in erythropoiesis, contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system. B vitamins are involved in the formation of various enzymes that regulate different types of metabolism in the body. Folic acid stimulates erythropoiesis.Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant. It prevents increased blood clotting and has a positive effect on peripheral circulation. Participates in the synthesis of proteins and hemoglobin, in the process of cell growth, the function of skeletal muscles, heart and blood vessels, sex glands. Vitamin C is involved in the oxidation of a number of biologically active substances, regulation of metabolism in the connective tissue, carbohydrate metabolism, blood clotting and tissue regeneration, stimulates the formation of steroid hormones, normalizes capillary permeability. Vitamin C increases the body's resistance to infections, reduces inflammatory reactions. Ca2 + is involved in the formation of bone tissue, blood coagulation, transmission of nerve impulses, reduction of skeletal and smooth muscles, and normal heart function. It also promotes iron absorption. Mg2 + is involved in the formation of muscle and bone tissue, and also participates in protein synthesis. Iron is part of the hemoglobin molecule, is involved in the transport of oxygen in the body and prevents the development of anemia. Phosphorus along with calcium, participates in the formation of bones and teeth, and also participates in the processes of energy metabolism. Mn2 + promotes bone mineralization. Cu2 + is necessary for normal red blood cell function and iron metabolism. Zn2 + - is required for tissue regeneration, is part of some hormones, including insulin.

Indications and usage

As a prophylactic agent for conditionsaccompanied by an increased need for vitamins and minerals: increased physical and neuropsychic stress, pregnancy and lactation, with an irregular, inadequate or monotonous diet, during the period of recovery from past diseases, to increase the body's resistance to infectious and "cold" diseases. In complex therapy with the use of chemotherapeutic agents.

Inside, after breakfast. For adults and children over 10 years old, 1 pill of red and 1 pill of blue per day. Dragee should be swallowed whole, washed down with a small amount of water. The course of taking the drug for 20 days. The course of the drug can be repeated after a break (1-3 months) or as recommended by the doctor.

Adverse reactions

Allergic reactions are possible. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose, in case of accidental intake of high doses, immediately consult a doctor.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to the drug.

Special notes

Possible staining of urine yellow - completely harmless and is due to the presence in the preparation of riboflavin. It is not recommended to take Duovit together with other preparations containing vitamins and minerals.

Drug Interactions

The drug contains iron and calcium and therefore delays the absorption in the intestines of Tetracycline antibiotics, as well as antimicrobial agents - fluoroquinolone derivatives.Vitamin C enhances the action and side effects of antimicrobial agents from the sulfonamide group (including the appearance of crystals in the urine). Antacid preparations containing aluminum, Magnesium, calcium, as well as Kolestiramin reduce the absorption of iron. With the simultaneous appointment of diuretics from the thiazide group, the probability of hypercalcemia increases.
