Description Tablets of a round biconvex shape, light yellow color Pharmacotherapeutic group Multivitamins in combination with other compounds ATC code A11AB Pharmacological properties Pharmacokinetics The effect of the drug Multi-tabs Classic is the combined effect of its components, so clinical observations are not possible; All together the components cannot be traced using markers or bio-studies. For the same reason, it is impossible to detect drug metabolites. Pharmacodynamics Multi-tabs® Classic is a combination drug containing a complex of vitamins and minerals. The action is determined by the properties of the vitamins included in the drug. Vitamin A promotes proper growth and development of the body. Plays an important role in the formation of the immune system, increases the body's resistance to various infections. Normalizes visual function. It is an essential component of the body's antioxidant defense. Maintains the normal condition of the skin and mucous membranes. Vitamin D protects bone tissue from the development of osteoporosis, fractures, and improves the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin C helps increase the body's resistance to various infections. It plays a great role in the synthesis of corticosteroid hormones and thyroid hormones, which are responsible for the body’s stability and adaptation to changing environmental conditions. Improves lipid metabolism, helping to normalize cholesterol metabolism. Stimulates the synthesis of connective tissue components. Important antioxidant and immunostimulant. Vitamin E stimulates and improves the immune system. A natural antioxidant, which is the most important property that determines its importance in the treatment and prevention of coronary heart disease. Prevention of premature aging. Prevents the development of cataracts. Vitamin B1 is a necessary component of carbohydrate metabolism as a component of the coenzyme for the decarboxylation of keto acids; plays an important role in protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, and is involved in the conduction of nervous excitation at synapses. Vitamin B2 is of great importance in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, and the synthesis of hemoglobin. Promotes tissue regeneration in case of wounds and cuts, preserves the normal structure and function of mucous membranes and skin. Vitamin B6 is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, therefore it is important for the normal function of the central and peripheral nervous system. Nicotinamide effectively reduces total cholesterol levels. Regulates higher nervous activity and functions of the digestive organs. Pantothenic acid plays an important role in regulating oxidation and acetylation processes. Participates in the metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids, promotes wound healing, stimulates the synthesis of antibodies. Reduces the manifestation of side and toxic effects that occur during treatment with antibiotics. Folic acid is involved in the reproduction of genetic material, during normal cell division, including blood cells, in the synthesis of amino acids, nucleic acids, pyrimidines, and is important in the formation of hemoglobin in red blood cells. Magnesium is of great importance in the regulation of myocardial contractile function and ensures the normal functioning of the cardiac cycle. Promotes better tolerance to stressful situations and suppresses depression. Iron is involved in hematopoiesis processes and promotes the full functioning of cellular local immunity. Zinc is necessary for the formation of red blood cells and other blood cells. Affects the synthesis of sex hormones. Stabilizes the body's immune processes. Not synthesized in the body. Copper is a vital trace element. Plays an important role in metabolic processes. Chromium is involved in the process of insulin synthesis. A decrease in chromium levels in the human body can cause sharp fluctuations in blood sugar and contribute to the development of diabetes. Selenium, as an antioxidant, prevents the formation of free radicals, which have a damaging effect on the body. Iodine is part of the thyroid hormones, which are based on iodine and perform vital functions. Regulate the activity of the brain, nervous system, reproductive and mammary glands, growth and development of the body. Indications for use: prevention and treatment of vitamin and mineral deficiencies; normalization of the body's metabolic processes; during the recovery period after illness; during mental and physical stress; during poor and unbalanced nutrition and dieting. Directions for use and dosage: Children over 12 years of age and adults: 1 tablet per day. Take simultaneously with meals or immediately after them. The duration of the course of treatment is determined by the doctor individually. Side effects: itching, urticarial rash. Contraindications: individual intolerance to the components of the drug. Drug interactions The composition of the drug Multi-tabs Classic includes iron, therefore, with the simultaneous use of antibiotics of the tetracycline group and antimicrobial agents - fluoroquinolone derivatives, the absorption of the latter from the gastrointestinal tract is slowed down. Vitamin C, included in the drug Multi-tabs Classic, enhances the pharmacological effect and side effects of antimicrobial agents from the sulfonamide group. With the simultaneous use of antacid drugs containing aluminum, calcium, magnesium, the absorption of iron, which is part of the drug Multi-tabs Classic, decreases. The B vitamins included in Multi-tabs Classic weaken the effect of levodopa. Alcohol sharply reduces the absorption of thiamine. Special instructions Pregnancy and lactation During pregnancy and lactation, the drug can be taken in the usual dosage. Do not exceed the indicated daily dose. Multi-Tabs Classic is not recommended to be prescribed together with other multivitamin preparations in order to avoid toxic effects on the fetus, because an overdose of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, and E) is possible due to the deposition of the latter in the body.

Buyers note the ease of use and the ability to choose: athletes choose Energy, to restore the intestines after a long illness - Immuno, to improve the condition of nails and hair - Omega-3.

Some buyers like to take a course of treatment before seasonal surges in morbidity, to prevent vitamin deficiency in the spring, to improve performance and generally strengthen the body. There is a decrease in the number of diseases per year, an improvement in general condition, and an influx of vitality.
The drug is valued for its high European quality and balanced composition. The disadvantage is the high cost.
