Properties of vitamins and minerals

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for healthy brain development and vision in children.

Vitamin C and zinc help maintain immunity.

B vitamins take part in the natural formation of energy in the body.

Vitamin D promotes the absorption of calcium, which is necessary for the healthy development of the child's skeletal system.

Iodine is necessary for the normal functioning of the thyroid gland and contributes to the development of the child’s intelligence.

Iron contributes to the normal metabolism of mother and child.

Beta-carotene promotes the formation and further development of the child’s visual organs.

Instructions for use ELEVIT PRONATAL

Elevit Pronatal is a complex of vitamins, minerals and trace elements for use when planning pregnancy, during pregnancy and lactation. The doses of these components correspond to the doses recommended for the diet of pregnant and lactating women. Elevit Pronatal replenishes the need for vitamins and microelements necessary for the normal course of pregnancy.

The pharmacological properties of the drug are determined by its constituent components. Vitamins and minerals are necessary for the proper development and growth of the fetus, for the normal course of metabolism (formation of lipids, nucleic acids and proteins; synthesis of amino acids, collagen and neurotransmitters).

Vitamin A

participates in the synthesis of various substances (proteins, lipids, mucopolysaccharides) and ensures the normal function of the skin, mucous membranes, and the organ of vision.

Vitamin B1

participates in the normalization of heart activity, contributing to the normal functioning of the nervous system.

Vitamin B2

promotes tissue regeneration processes, incl. skin cells.

Vitamin B6

helps maintain the structure and function of bones, teeth, gums; influences erythropoiesis and promotes the normal functioning of the nervous system.

Vitamin B12

participates in erythropoiesis, contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.

B vitamins are involved in the formation of various enzymes that regulate different types of metabolism in the body and help reduce attacks of nausea and vomiting during toxicosis in pregnant women.

Vitamin C

participates in the oxidation of a number of biologically active substances, regulation of metabolism in connective tissue, carbohydrate metabolism, blood clotting and tissue regeneration, stimulates the formation of steroid hormones, and normalizes capillary permeability. Vitamin C is involved in increasing the body's resistance to infections by reducing inflammatory reactions.

Vitamin D3

plays an important role in maintaining the balance of calcium and phosphorus in the body of a pregnant woman. With its deficiency, rickets occurs in children, and in adults, the calcium content in bone tissue decreases (osteoporosis).

Vitamin E

- a natural antioxidant, prevents increased blood clotting and has a beneficial effect on peripheral circulation. Participates in the synthesis of proteins and hemoglobin, in the process of cell growth, the function of skeletal muscles, heart and blood vessels, gonads. A lack of vitamin E in the early stages of pregnancy can cause miscarriage.

Biotin

takes part in metabolic processes, promotes protein absorption.

Calcium pantothenate

participates in the processes of metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates.

Folic acid

takes part in the metabolism of amino acids, the synthesis of purine and pyrimidine bases. Folic acid deficiency leads to decreased DNA biosynthesis and impaired cellular replication. As a result, the processes of hematopoiesis and the development of the neural tube of the fetus may be disrupted during pregnancy.

Nicotinamide

takes part in redox processes, ensures the transfer of hydrogen and phosphate.

Calcium

participates in the formation of bone tissue, blood clotting, transmission of nerve impulses, contraction of skeletal and smooth muscles, and normal heart function. It also promotes iron absorption.

Magnesium

participates in the formation of muscle and bone tissue, and also takes part in protein synthesis.

Iron

is part of the hemoglobin molecule, participates in the transport of oxygen in the body and prevents the development of anemia in a pregnant woman, especially in the second and third trimesters.

Manganese

takes part in the processes of bone mineralization.

Copper

necessary for normal red blood cell function and iron metabolism.

Zinc

necessary for the normal formation of the fetal skeleton and tissue regeneration, is part of some hormones, including insulin, and reduces the likelihood of a number of intrauterine anomalies.

Phosphorus

normalizes the activity of the nervous system and is an essential component in the body’s energy system. Stimulates the growth and development of bone tissue, activates hematopoiesis.

Drug interactions and special instructions

The vitamin complex "Elevit" interacts differently with other drugs:

1. Antibiotics of the tetracycline group and antiviral agents are absorbed less well, so their therapeutic effect is weakened.
2. Antacids used for gastritis and other gastric pathologies reduce the absorption of Elevit components.
3. Combining vitamins with anticoagulants and medications that affect blood clotting should be done with caution. In some cases, it is possible to increase blood viscosity, which leads to serious consequences, and extremely rarely to death.
4. The use of laxatives together with a vitamin complex can lead to the risk of increasing calcium concentrations, which can lead to the deposition of salts in the urinary system. In case of a long course, regular testing is indicated.
5. Taking Elevit reduces the therapeutic effect of medications such as Penicillamine, Levodopa, Thyroxine, drugs based on biosphosphonates and fluoroquinols.

When taking vitamins together with foods containing large amounts of phytic and oxalic acids, problems with calcium absorption are possible.

Concomitant use with alcoholic beverages is allowed, but the therapeutic effect will be weakened. In addition, during all stages of pregnancy and lactation it is recommended to give up bad habits, including smoking.

Side effects

In most cases, taking a vitamin complex does not cause any side effects. But if the dosage is violated, individual hypersensitivity, or certain pathologies, the following manifestations are possible:

• nausea;
• vomit;
• bloating, abdominal pain;
• diarrhea;
• hemolytic anemia;
• headache;
• dizziness;
• irritability, nervous excitability;
• hypercalciuria;
• itching, redness, rash and other allergic reactions.

If any reactions occur, you should immediately stop taking the drug and consult a doctor for advice.

With prolonged use of the drug, stool may become darker, almost black, and urine may become intensely yellow. These are normal physiological reactions associated with the action of iron and vitamin B2, respectively.

Attention!

In rare cases, side effects from the immune and cardiovascular systems are possible, including pulmonary edema, anaphylactic shock, and asthmatic attack. In such situations, you should immediately call emergency help.
