pharmachologic effect
Fish oil capsules are a medicinal product of animal origin, the effect of which is determined by the properties of its constituent vitamins A and D. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, plays an important role in redox processes, and is involved in the synthesis of mucopolysaccharides, proteins, and lipids.
Participates in the formation of visual pigments necessary for normal twilight and color vision: ensures the integrity of epithelial tissues, regulates bone growth. Vitamin D stimulates the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestines, the reabsorption of calcium and phosphorus in the kidneys, the transport of calcium through cell membranes, and regulates the preservation of bone structure. It also has a positive effect on the development of the immune system, proliferation and differentiation of cells, synthesis of lipids and a number of hormones, functional activity of the cardiovascular system and gastrointestinal tract, and reduces the level of parathyroid hormone in the blood. It is necessary for the normal functioning of the parathyroid glands and takes part in the synthesis of adenosine triphosphoric acid.
Indications for use
— prevention of hypovitaminosis A and D.
Mode of application
Take 1-2 capsules orally 3 times a day, after meals, with cold or lukewarm water. It is recommended to swallow the capsules immediately with plenty of water; you should not keep them in your mouth for a long time, because The gelatin contained in the shell may make the capsule sticky, making subsequent swallowing difficult. The course of application is at least 1 month. The duration of taking the drug is determined by the doctor.
Interaction
The activity of vitamin D may be decreased when used concomitantly with anticonvulsants or barbiturates. When used simultaneously with estrogens, the risk of hypervitaminosis A increases. Vitamin A reduces the anti-inflammatory effect of glucocorticoids. Weakens the effect of calcium supplements, benzodiazepines and increases the risk of developing hypercalcemia. Cholestyramine, colestipol, mineral oils, neomycin reduce the absorption of vitamin A. Isotretinoin increases the risk of toxic effects. The simultaneous use of tetracycline and vitamin A in high doses (50 thousand units and above) increases the risk of developing intracranial hypertension. High doses of vitamin E can reduce the reserves of vitamin A in the body. With hypervitaminosis D, the effect of cardiac glycosides may be enhanced and the risk of arrhythmia may increase. Under the influence of barbiturates (including phenobarbital), phenytoip, and primidone, the need for vitamin D can increase significantly. Long-term therapy with the drug against the background of simultaneous use of aluminum and magnesium-containing antacids increases the concentration of vitamins A and D in the blood. Calcitonin, bisphosphonates, isoniazid, rifampicin, plicamycin, glucocorticosteroids reduce the effect of the drug. Increases the absorption of phosphorus-containing drugs and the risk of developing hyperphosphatemia. When used simultaneously with sodium fluoride, the interval between doses should be at least 2 hours; with oral forms of tetracyclines - at least 3 hours.
