Hyperoxaluria
ВИТАМИН C ПЛЮС Кид'с формула Фармамед should be given with care to patients with underlying renal failure due to the risk of formation of renal oxalate calculi. Tolerance may be induced in patients taking high doses.
Large doses of ВИТАМИН C ПЛЮС Кид'с формула Фармамед have resulted in haemolysis in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency.
ВИТАМИН C ПЛЮС Кид'с формула Фармамед injection is unlikely to affect the patient's ability to drive or use machinery.
Large doses may cause gastrointestinal disorders including diarrhoea. Large doses may also result in hyperoxaluria and renal oxalate calculi may form if the urine becomes acidic. Doses of 600mg or more daily have a diuretic action. Induced tolerance with prolonged use of large doses can result in symptoms of deficiency when intake is reduced to normal.
Large doses may cause gastrointestinal disorders including diarrhoea. Large doses may also result in hyperoxaluria and renal oxalate calculi may form if urine is acidic. Doses of 600mg or more daily have a diuretic action. Stop treatment and treat symptomatically.

ВИТАМИН C ПЛЮС Кид'с формула Фармамед, a water-soluble vitamin, is essential for formation of collagen and intercellular material, and therefore necessary for the development of cartilage, bone, teeth and for the healing of wounds. It is also essential for the conversion from folic acid to folinic acid, facilitates iron absorption from the gastro-intestinal tract and influences haemoglobin formation and erythrocyte maturation.
Distribution - widely distributed in body tissues with about 25% bound to plasma proteins. Large amounts are present in leucocytes and platelets. ВИТАМИН C ПЛЮС Кид'с формула Фармамед crosses the placenta.
Metabolism - readily oxidised to dehydroВИТАМИН C ПЛЮС Кид'с формула Фармамед where some is metabolised to oxalic acid and the inactive ascorbate - 2 - sulphate. Metabolic turnover appears to be greater in females than males.
Excretion - large doses are rapidly excreted in the urine when in excess of the requirements of the body and after an intravenous dose, about 40% is excreted in 8 hours, which is increased to about 70% after tissue saturation. The amount of unchanged drug is dose dependent; in women the excretion of ВИТАМИН C ПЛЮС Кид'с формула Фармамед appears to vary with the stage of the menstrual cycle and it is decreased when taking oral contraceptives.
