Overview
Ceevit 500 mg Chewable Tablet contains Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), manufactured by Square Pharmaceuticals PLC. It is used as a Vitamin C supplement to prevent and treat ascorbic acid deficiency (scurvy), and to support immune function, collagen synthesis, wound healing, and antioxidant defence.
Dosage and Administration
Adults and children: 1 tablet once or twice daily, chewed or dissolved in the mouth, or as advised by the physician. Higher therapeutic doses may be recommended for deficiency states or specific conditions.
Interaction
High-dose Vitamin C may increase iron absorption and enhance the toxicity of iron in patients with haemochromatosis. May interfere with some laboratory tests at very high doses.
Contraindications
Contraindicated in known hypersensitivity to ascorbic acid and in patients with hyperoxaluria or a history of renal calculi (oxalate stones) at high doses.
Side Effects
Generally well tolerated at recommended doses; excessive intake may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhoea, and increased risk of renal oxalate stones.
Pregnancy and Lactation
Considered safe at recommended doses during pregnancy and lactation; Vitamin C requirements are increased during these periods, under medical guidance.
Precautions and Warnings
Avoid prolonged high-dose supplementation (>1000 mg/day) without medical supervision, particularly in patients with a history of kidney stones or renal impairment.
Storage Conditions
Store below 30°C, in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
