Redoxon effervescent tablets 1 g orange 30 pcs

What is Redoxon and when is it used?

Redoxon contains pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid) as an active ingredient. Vitamin C intervenes in a variety of vital metabolic processes via various mechanisms. It is used to treat and prevent vitamin C deficiencies such as scurvy and its precursors. In the case of the following diseases, the need for vitamin C may be increased and/or an additional dose may be necessary: ??

• Bleeding gums due to vitamin C deficiency;Wound healing, for example after tooth extraction;Operations;Infectious diseases;Colds;Absorption disorders after surgical removal of the stomach (gastrectomy) or after diseases in the gastrointestinal tract;Smokers;Pregnancy and lactation; li>Treatment with antibiotics;for blood washing (hemodialysis).

What should be considered?

Because the body cannot produce vitamin C itself, it must be obtained from food. Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamin C, especially citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons and grapefruits. Larger amounts of vitamin C are also found in the liver and kidneys, but not in meat, cereals and dairy products. Cooking, watering, keeping warm and storing (including freezing) can greatly reduce the vitamin C content. Diabetics who determine the sugar in their urine themselves should not take Redoxon for a few days before the test because vitamin C affects the test result. Chewable tablets are gentle on the teeth and also suitable for diabetics as they contain no sugar (1 chewable tablet: 11 kJ = 2.6 kcal).

When should Redoxon not be taken/applied?

If you are allergic to one or more of the ingredients. If you suffer from kidney stones with simultaneous increased oxalic acid excretion, have an iron storage disease or if you suffer from severe renal insufficiency (including if you are on dialysis), you must not take Redoxon. If you experience an allergic reaction while being treated with Redoxon, you must stop taking the product.

When is caution required when taking Redoxon?

Patients with kidney stones may only take more than 500 mg Redoxon daily after consulting their doctor . Redoxon effervescent tablets contain 20 mg aspartame, Redoxon chewable tablets contain 5 mg. Aspartame is a source of phenylalanine. It can be harmful if you have phenylketouria (PKU), a rare inherited condition in which phenylalanine builds up because the body can't break it down enough. You should therefore only take the preparation after consulting your doctor. Redoxon chewable tablets contain 619 mg sorbitol. Sorbitol is a source of fructose. Talk to your doctor before taking or receiving this medicine if you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, or if you have hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) - a rare inherited condition in which a person is unable to get fructose can degrade ? has been determined. Redoxon effervescent tablets contain isomalt, glucose and sucrose (sucrose). If you know that you have an intolerance to sugars, please consult your doctor before taking this medicine. This medicinal product contains 312 mg sodium (main component of table salt) in each effervescent tablet and 95 mg sodium in each chewable tablet, equivalent to 16% and 5% of the recommended maximum daily dietary intake of sodium for an adult. Drugs used to prevent pregnancy (oral contraceptives) and certain drugs used to treat allergies and inflammation (corticosteroids) lead to increased breakdown of vitamin C. Certain drugs that inhibit bone breakdown (calcitonin) increase vitamin C consumption. Salicylic acid derivatives (e.g. acetylsalicylic acid), certain antibiotics (tetracyclines) and certain drugs to treat epilepsy (barbiturates) reduce the availability of vitamin C in the body due to reduced absorption or increased excretion. High doses of vitamin C can lower blood levels of cyclosporine, indinavir, warfarin, and disulfiram. If you take vitamin C and medicines containing aluminum to treat heartburn (antacids) at the same time, you may be able to absorb more aluminum. Particular caution is therefore required if you suffer from renal insufficiency. Itell your doctor, pharmacist or druggist if you

• suffer from other diseases,have allergies ortake other medicines (including those you bought yourself!)!
