Vitamin B1 (Efavet 2) deficiency

Pernicious anemia, both uncomplicated and accompanied by nervous system involvement.

Dietary deficiency of Vitamin B12 (Efavet 2), occurring in strict vegetarians and in their breast-fed infants. (Isolated Vitamin B12 (Efavet 2) deficiency is very rare).

Malabsorption of Vitamin B12 (Efavet 2), resulting from structural or functional damage to the stomach, where intrinsic factor is secreted or to the ileum, where intrinsic factor facilitates Vitamin B12 (Efavet 2) absorption. These conditions include tropical sprue, and nontropical sprue (idiopathic steatorrhea, gluten-induced enteropathy). Folate deficiency in these patients is usually more severe than Vitamin B12 (Efavet 2) deficiency.

Inadequate secretion of intrinsic factor, resulting from lesions that destroy the gastric mucosa (ingestion of corrosives, extensive neoplasia), and a number of conditions associated with a variable degree of gastric atrophy (such as multiple sclerosis, certain endocrine disorders, iron deficiency, and subtotal gastrectomy). Total gastrectomy always produces Vitamin B12 (Efavet 2) deficiency.

Structural lesions leading to Vitamin B12 (Efavet 2) deficiency include regional ileitis, ileal resections, malignancies, etc.

Competition for Vitamin B12 (Efavet 2) by intestinal parasites or bacteria.

The fish tapeworm (Diphyilobothrium latum) absorbs huge quantities of Vitamin B12 (Efavet 2) and infested patients often have associated gastric atrophy. The blind-loop syndrome may produce deficiency of Vitamin B12 (Efavet 2) or folate.

Inadequate utilization of Vitamin B12 (Efavet 2). This may occur if antimetabolites for the vitamin are employed in the treatment of neoplasia.

Renal Dose Adjustments

Data not available

Liver Dose Adjustments

Data not available

Dose Adjustments

Rarely, a dosage of 2 mg/day may be required, particularly in patients with malabsorption, alcoholism, chronic hemolysis, chronic exfoliative skin disease or who are on concomitant anticonvulsant therapy.

Dialysis

Folic Acid (Efavet 2) is removed by both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. The amount removed varies with type equipment used.

Because folate may accumulate in patients with end-stage renal disease, side effects may be more likely in this patient who is undergoing dialysis. Once this patient's body stores of folate are replete, three times a week dosing may be just as beneficial as once daily dosing but should portend a lower risk of side effects.

Other Comments

The recommended daily allowance of Folic Acid (Efavet 2) for adult males and females ranges from 150 to 200 and 150 to 180 mcg/day, respectively.

There is a potential danger in administering Folic Acid (Efavet 2) to patients with undiagnosed anemia, since Folic Acid (Efavet 2) may obscure the diagnosis of pernicious anemia by alleviating the hematologic manifestations of the disease while allowing the neurologic complications to progress.

Severe megaloblastic anemia may require therapy for 4 to 5 weeks. Once stabilized, if dietary intake is inadequate, maintenance therapy can be started.

Reconstitution: 131 g to 900 mL water.

Usual Adult Dose for Hypomagnesemia

Dose Adjustments

May increase by 500 to 1,000 mg/day (27 to 54 mg elemental Magnesium (Efavet 2)) in order to achieve a normal serum Magnesium (Efavet 2) level. Daily doses > 1,000 mg (54 mg elemental Magnesium (Efavet 2)) should be given in 2 to 3 divided doses.

Precautions

Because Magnesium (Efavet 2) is primarily eliminated by the kidney, there is significant risk of hypermagnesemia in patients with renal dysfunction.

Dialysis

Data not available; however, use of Magnesium (Efavet 2) salts is generally contraindicated in renal failure.

Other Comments

Magnesium (Efavet 2) supplements are often used with "low normal" serum Magnesium (Efavet 2) levels in patients predisposed to hypomagnesemia (e.g., patients on diuretics).

Selenium (Efavet 2) Injection provides 40 mcg Selenium (Efavet 2)/mL. For metabolically stable adults receiving TPN, the suggested additive dosage level is 20 to 40 mcg Selenium (Efavet 2)/day. For pediatric patients, the suggested additive dosage level is 3 mcg/kg/day.

In adults, Selenium (Efavet 2) deficiency states resulting from long-term TPN support, Selenium (Efavet 2) as selenomethionine or selenious acid, administered intravenously at 100 mcg/day for a period of 24 and 31 days, respectively, has been reported to reverse deficiency symptoms without toxicity.

Aseptic addition of Selenium (Efavet 2) Injection to the TPN solution under laminar flow hood is recommended. Selenium (Efavet 2) is physically compatible with the electrolytes and other trace elements usually present in amino-acid/dextrose solution used for TPN.

Hypoparathyroidism (off-label use): Note: Active Vitamin D (Efavet 2) preparations (ie, alfacalcidol, calcitriol) in conjunction with calcium supplementation are recommended therapy. Addition of cholecalciferol (or ergocalciferol) may be considered for supplemental therapy (Endocrine Society [Brandi 2016]).

Osteoporosis, prevention (off-label use): Adults ≥50 years of age:

Oral: 800 to 1,000 units/day is recommended, through dietary sources and/or supplementation if needed (NOF [Cosman 2014]).

Vitamin D (Efavet 2) insufficiency/deficiency treatment (off-label use): Note: Repletion strategies may vary depending on desired target serum 25(OH)D levels as well as the clinical status of the patient. The optimal serum 25(OH)D level is controversial; the Institute of Medicine recommends a 25(OH)D level >20 ng/mL as sufficient in nearly all persons (IOM 2011), whereas others have suggested targeting a level of ~30 ng/mL to minimize the risk of fractures, particularly in patients with osteoporosis (AACE [Camacho 2016]; NOF [Cosman 2014]). However, some data suggest levels >40 ng/mL (median level in one trial: ~48 ng/mL) are associated with increased risk of falls in postmenopausal women (Sanders 2010; Smith 2017).

Therefore, some experts recommend a range of 20 to 40 ng/mL as a reasonable target in most patients (Dawson-Hughes 2018). In patients with normal absorption, for every 100 units/day of cholecalciferol, the serum 25(OH)D level is expected to increase by ~0.7 to 1 ng/mL after a few weeks (ASPEN [McKeever 2017]; Dawson-Hughes 2018). The dose-response declines as the 25(OH)D concentration increases above 40 ng/mL (100 nmol/L) (Dawson-Hughes 2018). The following recommendations are based primarily on expert opinion and clinical experience:

Initial dosing (according to baseline serum 25(OH)D level):

Serum 25(OH)D 20 to 30 ng/mL: Initial: Supplementation dosing:

Oral: 600 to 800 units once daily; a repeat serum 25(OH)D level is not required (Dawson-Hughes 2018) or 1,000 to 2,000 units once daily; may consider a repeat serum 25(OH)D level in ~3 months to determine if the target level has been achieved (Khan 2010).

Serum 25(OH)D 10 to <20 ng/mL: Initial:

Supplementation dosing:

Oral: 800 to 1,000 units once daily (Dawson-Hughes 2018)

OR

Therapeutic dosing (ie, high-dose cholecalciferol):

Oral: 50,000 units once

Serum 25(OH)D <10 ng/mL or in patients with deficiency symptoms: Initial: Therapeutic dosing (ie, high-dose cholecalciferol):

Oral: 50,000 units once

Maintenance dosing: Maintenance dosing is highly patient specific and dependent on target 25(OH)D level, and may range from: 600 to 800 units/day (Dawson-Hughes 2018) to 1,000 to 2,000 units/day (AACE [Camacho 2016]; NOF [Cosman 2014]).

Special populations (obese patients, patients on medications known to affect Vitamin D (Efavet 2) metabolism, patients with malabsorption syndromes or gastrectomy): Higher doses or longer durations may be necessary for adequate repletion (AACE [Camacho 2016]; Dawson-Hughes 2018).

Vitamin D (Efavet 2) deficiency/insufficiency in patients with chronic kidney disease (off-label use):

Oral:

Note: In patients without severe and progressive hyperparathyroidism, including chronic kidney disease stages G3 to G5 and dialysis or transplant patients, KDIGO guidelines recommend correcting Vitamin D (Efavet 2) deficiency and insufficiency with treatment strategies recommended for the general population using cholecalciferol (or ergocalciferol) while avoiding hypercalcemia and ensuring phosphate levels are in the normal range. An individualized monitoring approach to direct treatment is also recommended (KDIGO 2009; KDIGO 2017). In patients in whom serum parathyroid hormone levels are progressively rising and remain persistently elevated despite correction of modifiable factors (eg, hyperphosphatemia, Vitamin D (Efavet 2) deficiency), calcitriol or Vitamin D (Efavet 2) analogs are suggested instead of cholecalciferol (or ergocalciferol) (KDOQI commentary [Uhlig 2010]).

What is the most important information I should know about Folic Acid (Efavet 2)?

Because it may mask the hematologic abnormalities while neurological damage progresses, Folic Acid (Efavet 2) should not be used in the therapy of patients with vitamin B12 deficiency of any cause, unless there is associated folate deficiency. The Folic Acid (Efavet 2) content of one tablet a day however, is unlikely to mask pernicious anemia should this condition be present. Also, pregnancy during pernicious anemia is very rare.

Folic Acid (Efavet 2) is the man-made form of folate. Folate is a B-vitamin naturally found in some foods. It is needed to form healthy cells, especially red blood cells.

Folic Acid (Efavet 2) supplements may come in different forms (such as L-methylfolate, levomefolate, methyltetrahydrofolate). They are used to treat or prevent low folate levels. Low folate levels can lead to certain types of anemia. Conditions that can cause low folate levels include poor diet, pregnancy, alcoholism, liver disease, certain stomach/intestinal problems, kidney dialysis, among others. Women of childbearing age should receive adequate amounts of Folic Acid (Efavet 2) either through their diet or supplements to prevent infant spinal cord birth defects.

How to use Folic Acid (Efavet 2)

Take this product by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once daily. If you are taking the over-the-counter product, follow all directions on the product package. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

This medication is a mineral supplement used to prevent and treat low amounts of Magnesium (Efavet 2) in the blood. Magnesium (Efavet 2) is very important for the normal functioning of cells, nerves, muscles, bones, and the heart. Usually, a well-balanced diet provides normal blood levels of Magnesium (Efavet 2). However, certain situations cause your body to lose Magnesium (Efavet 2) faster than you can replace it from your diet. These situations include treatment with "water pills" (diuretics such as furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide), a poor diet, alcoholism, or other medical conditions (e.g., severe diarrhea/vomiting, stomach/intestinal absorption problems, poorly controlled diabetes).

How to use Magnesium (Efavet 2) amino acid chelate

Take this product by mouth as directed. Follow all directions on the product package. If you are uncertain about any of the information, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

It is best to take Magnesium (Efavet 2) supplements with a meal to reduce stomach upset and diarrhea unless otherwise directed by the product instructions or your doctor.

Take each dose with a full glass (8 ounces or 240 milliliters) of water unless your doctor directs you otherwise. Swallow extended-release capsules and delayed-release/enteric coated tablets or capsules whole. Do not crush or chew extended-release or delayed-release/enteric coated capsules or tablets. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects. Also, do not split extended-release tablets unless they have a score line and your doctor or pharmacist tells you to do so. Swallow the whole or split tablet without crushing or chewing.

If you are using a liquid product, use a medication measuring device to carefully measure the dose. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose. If you are using a suspension, shake the bottle well before each dose.

Take this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. Remember to take it at the same time(s) each day. Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not increase your dose or take it more often than directed on the product package or by your doctor. Too much Magnesium (Efavet 2) in the blood can cause serious side effects.

Tell your doctor if symptoms of low Magnesium (Efavet 2) blood levels (e.g., muscle cramps, tiredness, irritability, depression) persist or worsen. If you think you may have a serious medical problem, seek immediate medical attention.

Selenium (Efavet 2) is used as a dietary supplement mainly in the treatment of Selenium (Efavet 2) deficiency affecting young women and children with Keshan disease. It is also used for treatment of osteoarthiritis associated with poor Selenium (Efavet 2) levels in body called Kashin-Beck Disease. Selenium (Efavet 2) supplements are also used in patients with HIV/ AIDS to maintain the adequate Selenium (Efavet 2) levels.

Vitamin A (Efavet 2) is used to prevent or treat low levels of the vitamin in people who do not get enough of it from their diets. Most people who eat a normal diet do not need extra Vitamin A (Efavet 2). However, some conditions (such as protein deficiency, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, liver/pancreas problems) can cause low levels of Vitamin A (Efavet 2). Vitamin A (Efavet 2) plays an important role in the body. It is needed for growth and bone development and to maintain the health of the skin and eyesight. Low levels of Vitamin A (Efavet 2) may cause vision problems (such as night blindness) and permanent eye damage.

How to use Vitamin A (Efavet 2)

Vitamin D (Efavet 2) (ergocalciferol-D2, cholecalciferol-D3, alfacalcidol) is a fat-soluble vitamin that helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorus. Having the right amount of Vitamin D (Efavet 2), calcium, and phosphorus is important for building and keeping strong bones. Vitamin D (Efavet 2) is used to treat and prevent bone disorders (such as rickets, osteomalacia). Vitamin D (Efavet 2) is made by the body when skin is exposed to sunlight. Sunscreen, protective clothing, limited exposure to sunlight, dark skin, and age may prevent getting enough Vitamin D (Efavet 2) from the sun.

Vitamin D (Efavet 2) with calcium is used to treat or prevent bone loss (osteoporosis). Vitamin D (Efavet 2) is also used with other medications to treat low levels of calcium or phosphate caused by certain disorders (such as hypoparathyroidism, pseudohypoparathyroidism, familial hypophosphatemia). It may be used in kidney disease to keep calcium levels normal and allow normal bone growth. Vitamin D (Efavet 2) drops (or other supplements) are given to breast-fed infants because breast milk usually has low levels of Vitamin D (Efavet 2).

How to use Vitamin D (Efavet 2)

Take Vitamin D (Efavet 2) by mouth as directed. Vitamin D (Efavet 2) is best absorbed when taken after a meal but may be taken with or without food. Alfacalcidol is usually taken with food. Follow all directions on the product package. If you are uncertain about any of the information, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

If your doctor has prescribed this medication, take as directed by your doctor. Your dosage is based on your medical condition, amount of sun exposure, diet, age, and response to treatment.

Measure the liquid medication with the dropper provided, or use a medication-measuring spoon/device to make sure you have the correct dose. If you are taking the chewable tablet or wafers, chew the medication thoroughly before swallowing. Do not swallow whole wafers.

Certain medications (bile acid sequestrants such as cholestyramine/colestipol, mineral oil, orlistat) can decrease the absorption of Vitamin D (Efavet 2). Take your doses of these medications as far as possible from your doses of Vitamin D (Efavet 2) (at least 2 hours apart, longer if possible). It may be easiest to take Vitamin D (Efavet 2) at bedtime if you are also taking these other medications. Ask your doctor or pharmacist how long you should wait between doses and for help finding a dosing schedule that will work with all your medications.

Take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day if you are taking it once a day. If you are taking this medication only once a week, remember to take it on the same day each week. It may help to mark your calendar with a reminder.

If your doctor has recommended that you follow a special diet (such as a diet high in calcium), it is very important to follow the diet to get the most benefit from this medication and to prevent serious side effects. Do not take other supplements/vitamins unless ordered by your doctor.

If you think you may have a serious medical problem, get medical help right away.

This supplement is used to prevent or treat a lack of Vitamin E (Efavet 2) in the body. A low body level of Vitamin E (Efavet 2) is rare. Most people who eat a normal diet do not need extra Vitamin E (Efavet 2). However, Vitamin E (Efavet 2) supplements are used in premature newborns and in people who have problems absorbing enough Vitamin E (Efavet 2) from their diets. Vitamin E (Efavet 2) is important in protecting your body's cells from damage. It is known as an antioxidant.

What other drugs will affect Folic Acid (Efavet 2)?

Medications that interfere with your bodys ability to use folate may also increase the need for this vitamin. Medications can interfere with folate utilization, including: anticonvulsant medications (such as phenytoin, and primidone) metformin (sometimes prescribed to control blood sugar in type 2 diabetes) sulfasalazine (used to control inflammation associated with Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis) triamterene (a diuretic) Methotrexate There has been concern about the interaction between vitamin B12 and Folic Acid (Efavet 2). Folic Acid (Efavet 2) supplements can correct the anemia associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. Unfortunately, Folic Acid (Efavet 2) will not correct changes in the nervous system that result from vitamin B12 deficiency. Permanent nerve damage could theoretically occur if vitamin B12 deficiency is not treated. Therefore, intake of supplemental Folic Acid (Efavet 2) should not exceed 1000 micrograms (g, sometimes mcg) per day to prevent Folic Acid (Efavet 2) from masking symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency. It is important for older adults to be aware of the relationship between Folic Acid (Efavet 2) and vitamin B12 because they are at greater risk of having a vitamin B12 deficiency. If you are 50 years of age or older, ask your physician to check your B12 status before you take a supplement that contains Folic Acid (Efavet 2).

Ibrutinib: Vitamin E (Efavet 2) (Systemic) may enhance the antiplatelet effect of Ibrutinib. Monitor therapy

Orlistat: May decrease the serum concentration of Vitamins (Fat Soluble). Management: Administer oral fat soluble vitamins at least 2 hours before or after the administration of orlistat. Similar precautions do not apply to parenterally administered fat soluble vitamins. Consider therapy modification

Tipranavir: May enhance the adverse/toxic effect of Vitamin E (Efavet 2) (Systemic). Management: Patients taking tipranavir oral solution are advised to avoid taking additional Vitamin E (Efavet 2), beyond the amounts contained in a multivitamin product. This interaction does not apply to tipranavir capsules. Consider therapy modification

The anticonvulsants carbamazepine, phenytoin, Phenobarbital, and primidone may accelerate biotin metabolism, leading to a reduction in available biotin. Chronic use of these drugs has been associated with decreased plasma concentrations of biotin.

The use of antibiotics may reduce the contribution of biotin made by bacteria within the large intestine.

What other drugs will affect Zinc (Efavet 2)?

Pyridoxine reduces the effects of levodopa (but this does not occur if a dopa decarboxylase is also given); decreases serum concentrations of phenobarbitone. Concurrent administration of drugs eg, isoniazid, penicillamine and oral contraceptives increase the requirement for pyridoxine.

Absorption of cyanocobalamin from the GIT may be reduced by neomycin, aminosalicylic acid, histamine H₂-receptor antagonists and colchicine. Serum concentrations may be decreased by concurrent administration of oral contraceptives. Many of these interactions are unlikely to be of clinical significance but should be taken into account when performing assays for blood concentrations.

Parenteral chloramphenicol may attenuate the effect of Zinc (Efavet 2) in anaemia.

Folate deficiency states may be produced by a number of drugs including antiepileptics, oral contraceptives, antituberculous drugs, alcohol and Zinc (Efavet 2) antagonists eg, aminopterin, methotrexate, pyrimethamine, trimethoprim and sulphonamides; Zinc (Efavet 2) may decrease serum-phenytoin concentrations.

There may be an increased risk of myopathy or rhabdomyolysis when nicotinic acid is used concurrently with statins. Nicotinamide may increase the requirements for insulin or oral hypoglycaemics.

Ascorbic acid may increase the absorption of iron-deficiency states.

Ascorbic acid is often given in addition to desferrioxamine to patients with iron overload (thalassemia) to achieve better iron excretion. However, early on in treatment when there is excess tissue iron, there is some evidence that ascorbic acid may worsen the iron toxicity, particularly to the heart. Thus, ascorbic acid should not be given for the first month after starting desferrioxamine treatment.

The absorption of Zinc (Efavet 2) may be reduced by iron supplements, penicillamine, phosphorus-containing preparations and tetracyclines. Zinc (Efavet 2) supplements reduce the absorption of Zinc (Efavet 2), ciprofloxacin, iron, norfloxacin, penicillamine and tetracyclines.

Adverse Reactions

Generally well tolerated; excessive Copper (Efavet 2) levels may result in the following adverse effect.

Hepatic: Hepatic insufficiency (including hepatic necrosis)

Vitamin A (Efavet 2) (Glucoenergan, Reactivan) is a stimulant which was developed in the 1960s as an appetite suppressant, but was later withdrawn for this application due to problems with dependence and abuse. It is around half the potency of dexamphetamine, and is prescribed at a dose of 10-60mg, although abusers of the drug tend to rapidly develop tolerance and escalate their dose. Reactivan is still rarely used for treating depressive day-time fatigue, lack of concentration and lethargy, particularly in individuals who have chronic medical conditions, as its favourable safety profile makes it the most suitable drug in some cases.

Vitamin B12 (Efavet 2) (commonly known as Vitamin B12 (Efavet 2)) is the most chemically complex of all the vitamins. Vitamin B12 (Efavet 2)'s structure is based on a corrin ring, which, although similar to the porphyrin ring found in heme, chlorophyll, and cytochrome, has two of the pyrrole rings directly bonded. The central metal ion is Co (cobalt). Vitamin B12 (Efavet 2) cannot be made by plants or by animals, as the only type of organisms that have the enzymes required for the synthesis of cyanocobalamin are bacteria and archaea. Higher plants do not concentrate cyanocobalamin from the soil and so are a poor source of the substance as compared with animal tissues. Vitamin B12 (Efavet 2) is naturally found in foods including meat (especially liver and shellfish), eggs, and milk products.

Nutritional factor found in milk, eggs, malted barley, liver, kidney, heart, and leafy vegetables. The richest natural source is yeast. It occurs in the free form only in the retina of the eye, in whey, and in urine; its principal forms in tissues and cells are as flavin mononucleotide and flavin-adenine dinucleotide.
