Indications & Uses
Multivitamin [Adult preparation] is used to treat vitamin deficiencies and also to prevent them.
Pharmacology
Vitamin A in this Multivitamin is essential for the function of the retina, and for the growth and differentiation of epithelial tissue. Vitamin B plays a role in the synthesis and maintenance of coenzyme A. It is necessary for lipid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, tissue respiration and glycogenolysis, and for inhibiting very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) synthesis. It may also increase the removal of chylomicron triglyceride from plasma. Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it preserves essential cellular constituents. Vitamin C is necessary for collagen formation and tissue repair. It takes part in oxidation/reduction reactions and in other metabolic pathways, including the synthesis of catecholamines, carnitine and steroids, and it also plays a role in the conversion of folic acid to folinic acid. Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble sterol. It is necessary for the regulation of calcium and phosphate homoeostasis and for bone mineralisation. Vitamin D is also essential for healthy bones because it helps calcium absorption from the GI tract, and it stimulates bone formation as well. Clinical studies also show that calcium and vitamin D have synergistic effects on bone growth, and in osteoporosis and fracture prevention.
