INSTRUCTION FOR THE SPECIALIST.

Description of the drug approved by the manufacturer for the printed edition of 2013.

PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

Multivitamins.
Pikovit В® forte tablets contain 11 of the most important vitamins in amounts corresponding to the recommended daily intake for children over the age of 7 years.
Vitamins of group B (B 1 , B 2 , B 6 , B 12 , pantothenic acid and nicotinamide) are involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.

Folic acid (vitamin B c ) is necessary for the normal synthesis, regeneration and functioning of blood cells.

Retinol (vitamin A) is necessary for the development of epithelial cells and the synthesis of visual pigment.

Kolekaltsiferol (vitamin D) regulates the intake of calcium and promotes proper mineralization of bones and teeth.

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) promotes absorption of iron and takes part in many oxidation-reduction processes in the body.

Tocopherol (vitamin E) is a physiological antioxidant that protects cell membranes and supports the function of cells.

Pikovit В® forte does not contain sugar.

PHARMACOKINETICS

Water-soluble vitamins (groups B, C) are well absorbed in quantities corresponding to the daily needs of the organism.
Quantities exceeding the level of tissue saturation are excreted in the urine, sometimes with feces. Regular use of these vitamins is important to maintain the necessary concentrations in the tissues, because they accumulate in the body in limited quantities.
After ingestion, fat-soluble vitamins A and D are well absorbed in the small intestine in the presence of fats.
Absorption of vitamin E is rather weak (25-85% of the dose).
