Citrux-C 250

Presentation: Tablets containing 250 mg of Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). The tablets are typically chewable and may have a citrus flavor to enhance palatability. They are intended for oral administration. The appearance of the tablets may vary depending on the manufacturer and what is available in Bangladesh.

Indications: Citrux-C 250 is indicated for the prevention and treatment of Vitamin C deficiency. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient involved in many bodily functions, including immune system support, collagen formation, antioxidant activity, and iron absorption. It may be used in individuals with inadequate dietary intake of Vitamin C or in conditions where there is an increased need, such as during infections or periods of stress.

Dosage and Administration: The usual adult dose for prevention of Vitamin C deficiency is 250 mg daily. For the treatment of deficiency, higher doses may be recommended by a physician. For children, the dosage will depend on age and the severity of the deficiency, as determined by a healthcare professional. Citrux-C 250 tablets are chewable and should be chewed thoroughly before swallowing. They can be taken with or without food.

Side Effects: Vitamin C is generally well-tolerated at recommended doses. High doses may occasionally cause gastrointestinal disturbances such as diarrhea, nausea, or abdominal cramps. Other rare side effects may occur.

Precautions: Use with caution in individuals with a history of kidney stones or renal impairment. Diabetic patients should be aware that high doses of Vitamin C may affect blood glucose test results. Individuals with hemochromatosis, thalassemia, or sideroblastic anemia should also exercise caution due to the potential for increased iron absorption.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
