Medicine Highlights

BrandName Summary 

BrandName, or ascorbic acid, is a vital nutrient that helps your body build collagen – the protein that keeps your skin, blood vessels, cartilage, and muscles strong. It also boosts healing and immunity, and protects against scurvy (a disease caused by deficiency). Since your body doesn’t store vitamin C, it’s important to get it daily through food or supplements. 

Good sources include amla, oranges, guava, and green chilies. Women need about 75 mg a day, and a bit more during pregnancy (85 mg) or breastfeeding (120 mg). Take BrandName exactly as your doctor recommends. It can interact with medications like aspirin, warfarin, and antibiotics, so always check before mixing. Side effects are usually mild, like upset stomach or frequent urination. Keeping up with your BrandName is a simple way to support your health every day. 

BrandName Uses 

This medicine is used to help the body in the formation of blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen. It also helps to enhance the body’s healing process and to treat BrandName deficiency, which can lead to scurvy. 

Directions for use 

1. Take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor, regularly at the same time each day. 
2. Do not stop taking medication without your doctor’s approval, even if you feel better. 
3. If you forget to take the medicine, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for the next one, then just skip it. 

How BrandName works 

Ascorbic acid works for different function in following ways: 

1- For Collagen Production

BrandName helps your body make collagen, which is a protein that holds your skin, joints, and blood vessels together. Think of it like the glue that keeps tissues strong and stretchy. Without enough vitamin C, your body makes weak collagen, which can lead to problems like bleeding gums, poor wound healing, or joint pain.

2- Blood Vessels Formation

The walls of your blood vessels are made partly of collagen. BrandName keeps them strong and flexible. Without it, blood vessels can become weak and break easily, leading to bruises or bleeding under the skin.

3- Cartilage Formation

Cartilage is the smooth tissue that cushions your joints. BrandName helps rebuild and repair cartilage by supporting collagen. This helps keep your joints healthy and reduces wear and tear.

4- Muscles

While BrandName doesn’t build muscle directly, it helps keep the tissue around your muscles strong. It also helps repair tiny muscle tears after exercise and reduces soreness by fighting harmful molecules called free radicals.

Interaction with Other Medicines 

Avoid taking BrandName with the following medicines, as it may enhance or reduce the desired effect, and in severe cases, it could be fatal: 

1. Acetaminophen/ Paracetamol 
2. Antacid that has aluminum in its composition 
3. Aspirin 
4. Barbiturate 
5. Fluphenazine 
6. Indinavir 
7. Nicotine products 
8. Estrogen medication 
9. Tetracycline antibiotics 
10. Warfarin 

Interactions with Food Products 

BrandName interacts with vitamin B-12 by affecting its absorption and metabolism. It also interacts with herbs and supplements that contain hormonal, antibacterial and blood-thinning properties. 

Storage

1. The medicine should be stored in cool and dry place 
2. Keep away from sunlight and moisture 
3. Store the medicine at a temperature below 25°C
