Ascorbic acid (Univit Syrup) dosage

Important Preparation and Administration Instructions

a. Use only in a suitable ISO Class 5 work area such as a laminar flow hood (or an equivalent clean air compounding area)

b. Penetrate each PBP vial closure only one time with a suitable sterile transfer device or dispensing set that allows measured dispensing of the contents. Given that pressure may develop within the vial during storage, excercise caution when withdrawing contents from the vial.

c. Once the closure system has been penetrated, complete all dispensing from the PBP vial within 4 hours. Each dose must be used immediately. Discard unused portion.

d. Prior to administration, Ascorbic acid (Univit Syrup) must be diluted in a suitable infusion solution and the final solution for infusion must be isotonic (undiluted the osmolarity of Ascorbic acid (Univit Syrup) is approximately 5,900 mOsmol/L). Prior to preparing the admixture for infusion, calculate the osmolarity of the intended admixture for infusion. Add one daily dose of Ascorbic acid (Univit Syrup) directly to an appropriate volume of a suitable infusion solution (e.g., 5% Dextrose Injection, Sterile Water for Injection) and add appropriate solutes, as necessary, to make final solution isotonic. Sterile Water for Injection is highly hypotonic; adjust solute content, as necessary, to make thet final infusion solution isotonic prior to injection. Do not mix Ascorbic acid (Univit Syrup) with solutions containing elemental compounds that can be reduced (e.g., copper). The concentration of ascorbic acid in the final, admixture solution for infusion is to be the range of 1 to 25 mg of ascorbic acid per mL. For example, for the largest recommended dose:

Add 200 mg of ascorbic acid (equivalent to 0.4 mL of Ascorbic acid (Univit Syrup)) to 7.5 mL of Sterile Water for Injection to produce an infusion solution having an approximate osmolarity of 290 mOsmol/L. In this specific example, addition of solute is NOT necessary because the solution is isotonic.

e. Prepare the recommended dose based on the patient population [ see Dosage and Administration (2.2), (2.3)].

f. Visually inspect for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration (the diluted Ascorbic acid (Univit Syrup) solution should appear colorless to pale yellow).

g. Immediately administer the admixture for infusion as a slow intravenous infusion [ see Recommended Dosage, (2.2)]

Recommended Dosage

Table 1 provides recommended doses of Ascorbic acid (Univit Syrup) based on patient population and infusion rates of diluted Ascorbic acid (Univit Syrup) solution.

What is Cholecalciferol (Univit Syrup)?

Cholecalciferol (Univit Syrup) is a Cholecalciferol (Univit Syrup). Vitamin D is important for the absorption of calcium from the stomach and for the functioning of calcium in the body.

Cholecalciferol (Univit Syrup) is used to treat or prevent many conditions caused by a lack of vitamin D, especially conditions of the skin or bones.

Cholecalciferol (Univit Syrup) may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Cholecalciferol (Univit Syrup) indications

For the treatment of vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency, refractory rickets (vitamin D resistant rickets), familial hypophosphatemia and hypoparathyroidism, and in the management of hypocalcemia and renal osteodystrophy in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing dialysis. Also used in conjunction with calcium in the management and prevention of primary or corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis. (Vitamin D deficiency; osteoporosis;)

Uses of Cholecalciferol (Univit Syrup) in details

Vitamin D (ergocalciferol-D2, Cholecalciferol (Univit Syrup)-D3, alfacalcidol) is a fat-soluble vitamin that helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorus. Having the right amount of vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus is important for building and keeping strong bones. Vitamin D is used to treat and prevent bone disorders (such as rickets, osteomalacia). Vitamin D 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 from the sun.

Vitamin D with calcium is used to treat or prevent bone loss (osteoporosis). Vitamin D 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 drops (or other supplements) are given to breast-fed infants because breast milk usually has low levels of vitamin D.

How to use Cholecalciferol (Univit Syrup)

Take vitamin D by mouth as directed. Vitamin D 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. Take your doses of these medications as far as possible from your doses of vitamin D (at least 2 hours apart, longer if possible). It may be easiest to take vitamin D 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.

How to use Cyanocobalamin (Univit Syrup) nasal

Cyanocobalamin (Univit Syrup) description

Cyanocobalamin (Univit Syrup) (commonly known as Cyanocobalamin (Univit Syrup)) is the most chemically complex of all the vitamins. Cyanocobalamin (Univit Syrup)'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). Cyanocobalamin (Univit Syrup) cannot be made by plants or by animals, as the only type of organisms that have the enzymes required for the synthesis of Cyanocobalamin (Univit Syrup) are bacteria and archaea. Higher plants do not concentrate Cyanocobalamin (Univit Syrup) from the soil and so are a poor source of the substance as compared with animal tissues. Cyanocobalamin (Univit Syrup) is naturally found in foods including meat (especially liver and shellfish), eggs, and milk products. [HMDB]

What is Pyridoxine HCl (Univit Syrup)?

Vitamins are compounds that you must have for growth and health. They are needed in small amounts only and are usually available in the foods that you eat. Pyridoxine HCl (Univit Syrup) (vitamin B 6) is necessary for normal breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.

Some conditions may increase your need for Pyridoxine HCl (Univit Syrup). These include:

In addition, infants receiving unfortified formulas such as evaporated milk may need additional Pyridoxine HCl (Univit Syrup).

Increased need for Pyridoxine HCl (Univit Syrup) should be determined by your health care professional.

Lack of Pyridoxine HCl (Univit Syrup) may lead to anemia (weak blood), nerve damage, seizures, skin problems, and sores in the mouth. Your doctor may treat these problems by prescribing Pyridoxine HCl (Univit Syrup) for you.

Claims that Pyridoxine HCl (Univit Syrup) is effective for treatment of acne and other skin problems, alcohol intoxication, asthma, hemorrhoids, kidney stones, mental problems, migraine headaches, morning sickness, and menstrual problems, or to stimulate appetite or milk production have not been proven.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Pyridoxine HCl (Univit Syrup) (vitamin b6).

Uses of Pyridoxine HCl (Univit Syrup) in details

Pyridoxine HCl (Univit Syrup) (vitamin B6) is used to prevent or treat low levels of vitamin B6 in people who do not get enough of the vitamin from their diets. Most people who eat a normal diet do not need extra vitamin B6. However, some conditions (such as alcoholism, liver disease, overactive thyroid, heart failure) or medications (such as isoniazid, cycloserine, hydralazine, penicillamine) can cause low levels of vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 plays an important role in the body. It is needed to maintain the health of nerves, skin, and red blood cells.

Pyridoxine HCl (Univit Syrup) has been used to prevent or treat a certain nerve disorder (peripheral neuropathy) caused by certain medications (such as isoniazid). It has also been used to treat certain hereditary disorders (such as xanthurenic aciduria, cystathioninuria, hyperoxaluria, homocystinuria).

How to use Pyridoxine HCl (Univit Syrup)

Take this vitamin by mouth with or without food, usually once daily. Follow all directions on the product package, or take as directed by your doctor. If you are uncertain about any of the information, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

If you are taking the extended-release capsules, swallow them whole. Do not crush or chew extended-release 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 taking the powder, mix it thoroughly in the proper amount of liquid and stir well. Drink all of the liquid right away. Do not prepare a supply for future use.

Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.

Use this vitamin regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day.

Tell your doctor if your condition persists or worsens. If you think you may have a serious medical problem, seek immediate medical attention.

Pyridoxine HCl (Univit Syrup) description

Pyridoxine HCl (Univit Syrup) is the 4-methanol form of vitamin B6 and is converted to pyridoxal 5-phosphate in the body.

Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) indications

Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) Hydrochloride Injection is effective for the treatment of Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) deficiency or beriberi whether of the dry (major symptoms related to the nervous system) or wet (major symptoms related to the cardiovascular system) variety. Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) Hydrochloride Injection should be used where rapid restoration of Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) is necessary, as in Wernicke’s encephalopathy, infantile beriberi with acute collapse, cardiovascular disease due to Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) deficiency, or neuritis of pregnancy if vomiting is severe. It is also indicated when giving IV dextrose to individuals with marginal Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) status to avoid precipitation of heart failure.

Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) Hydrochloride Injection is also indicated in patients with established Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) deficiency who cannot take Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) orally due to coexisting severe anorexia, nausea, vomiting, or malabsorption. Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) Hydrochloride Injection is not usually indicated for conditions of decreased oral intake or decreased gastrointestinal absorption, because multiple vitamins should usually be given.

How should I use Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup)?

Off Label Uses

Alcohol withdrawal syndrome (adjunct)

Data from a limited number of patients studied suggest that Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) may be beneficial as an adjunct in the management of alcohol withdrawal syndrome to prevent Wernicke encephalopathy.

Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) description

Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) or thiamin, also known as vitamin B1, is a colorless compound with the chemical formula C12H17N4OS. It is soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol. Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) decomposes if heated. Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) was first discovered by Umetaro Suzuki in Japan when researching how rice bran cured patients of Beriberi. Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) plays a key role in intracellular glucose metabolism and it is thought that Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) inhibits the effect of glucose and insulin on arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation. Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) plays an important role in helping the body convert carbohydrates and fat into energy. It is essential for normal growth and development and helps to maintain proper functioning of the heart and the nervous and digestive systems. Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) cannot be stored in the body; however, once absorbed, the vitamin is concentrated in muscle tissue.

Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) dosage

“Wet” beriberi with myocardial failure must be treated as an emergency cardiac condition, and Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) must be administered slowly by the IV route in this situation.

In the treatment of beriberi, 10 to 20 mg of Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup) hydrochloride are given IM three times daily for as long as two weeks. An oral therapeutic multivitamin preparation containing 5 to 10 mg Thiamine HCl (Univit Syrup), administered daily for one month, is recommended to achieve body tissue saturation.

Infantile beriberi that is mild may respond to oral therapy, but if collapse occurs, doses of 25 mg may cautiously be given IV.
