Release form

The product is produced in the form of dragees, 10 pieces per blister. The pack contains 3 blister packs.

Pharmacodynamics

The medicine is multicomponent. Its effect is determined by the properties of minerals with vitamins, which are part of the medicine.

Retinol is involved in the formation of visual pigments and also helps strengthen the integrity of epithelial tissue and bone growth.

Tocopherol has an antioxidant effect, protects unsaturated fatty acids located inside membranes from lipid peroxidation processes, and in addition helps in the formation of elastic and collagen fibers.

Cholecalciferol helps regulate the processes of phosphorus and calcium metabolism within the body.

Thiamine is a coenzyme. It is involved in carbohydrate metabolism processes and affects the activity of the nervous system.

Riboflavin is a catalyst for the respiratory function of cells, as well as visual perception. This element is an important participant in the processes of DNA formation and helps in tissue healing (including skin cells).

Pantothenic acid is a component of coenzyme A and is involved in the processes of oxidation and acetylation of fats with carbohydrates.

Pyridoxine is a coenzyme that is involved in the metabolism of proteins with amino acids, as well as in the processes of binding neurotransmitters.

Cyanocobalamin, in combination with folic acid, promotes the binding of nucleotides, and in addition, the formation of red blood cells and cells inside the nerve sheaths. This component is an important part of the body's growth processes.

Nicotinamide helps in the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats and in the respiratory function of tissues.

Ascorbic acid is very important in regulating oxidation-reduction processes, and also provides collagen binding. It is also involved in the metabolism of iron with folic acid and the binding of catecholamines with steroid hormones.

Magnesium weakens neuronal excitability, as well as the movement of nerve signals into muscles. As a cofactor, it participates in many enzymatic reactions.

Iron is a participant in erythropoiesis. As a component of hemoglobin, it helps move oxygen into tissues.

Zinc promotes the metabolism of proteins with carbohydrates, fats, nucleic and fatty acids, and in addition, the metabolism of hormones (this includes sex hormones).

Calcium plays a very important role in the formation of teeth and bone tissue, and also helps to normalize blood clotting processes.

Fluoride is required for the mineralization of tooth enamel and bones.

Potassium maintains a stable level of osmotic pressure inside cells and is involved in the transmission of nerve reactions. The element is very important for metabolic processes and muscle function (such as the myocardium).

Copper helps with hematopoiesis, tissue respiration, and immune function.

Manganese affects the process of bone tissue formation and development.

Molybdenum assists in oxidation-reduction reactions and may act as an enzyme cofactor.

Dosing and administration

The pills should be taken orally, after meals. The dosage is 1 pill per day.

For pregnant or breastfeeding women, and also in case of heavy physical exertion and recovery from illness, the portion size of the medicine can be increased to 2 pieces per day. The treatment course lasts approximately 1 month.

A repeated course of treatment is permitted with the doctor's permission.

Use Oligovita during pregnancy

Oligovit can be used by pregnant and lactating women.

Contraindications

Main contraindications:

• intolerance to the components of the drug;
• hypercalciuria, hyperuricemia or hypercalcemia;
• chronic glomerulonephritis, renal failure, nephrolithiasis;
• active stage of pulmonary tuberculosis;
• history of sarcoidosis;
• hypervitaminosis type A or D;
• severe forms of kidney dysfunction;
• gout or thrombophlebitis;
• erythrocytosis or erythremia, as well as thromboembolism;
• hyperthyroidism;
• active stage of intestinal or gastric ulcer (due to the fact that this may increase the level of gastric acidity);
• combination with retinoids;
• copper metabolism disorder;
• hypermagnesemia or hyperphosphatemia;
• bronze diabetes, as well as other disorders that result in iron accumulation inside the body;
• in case of fructose/galactose intolerance (hereditary), lactase deficiency, malabsorption syndrome or sucrose-isomaltase deficiency (due to the presence of sucrose and glucose in the drug);
• children under 12 years of age.

Side effects Oligovita

Use of the drug may result in the following side effects:

• allergy symptoms: anaphylaxis, hyperthermia, Quincke's edema, itching, redness and rash on the skin, as well as bronchospasm and manifestations of hypersensitivity (for example, urticaria);
• damage to the gastrointestinal tract: vomiting with nausea, manifestations of dyspepsia, belching, abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation, heartburn, as well as an increase in the volume of secreted gastric juice;
• dysfunction of the nervous system: dizziness, feeling of drowsiness and increased excitability, as well as headaches;
• other: urine may become yellowish;
• as a result of prolonged use of large doses of drugs: development of hyperhidrosis, visual impairment, hyperglycemia, arrhythmia, hypercalciuria, hypercalcemia or hyperuricemia, irritation of the mucous membrane inside the gastrointestinal tract, appearance of paresthesia. In addition, there is a transient increase in the activity of alkaline phosphatase, LDH and AST, weakening of tolerance to glucose, problems with renal function, appearance of cracks on the feet with palms (and their dryness), occurrence of seborrheic rashes and alopecia.

If the patient develops skin lesions (such as urticaria), it is necessary to stop taking Oligovit and immediately report the problem to the doctor.

Interactions with other drugs

The components of Oligovit – zinc and iron – reduce the degree of absorption of tetracycline.

It is prohibited to combine the medicine with other vitamin products.

Preparations containing tocopherol should be prescribed with caution to individuals taking anticoagulants or agents that affect platelet aggregation.

Pyridoxine, even in small doses, enhances the peripheral processes of levodopa metabolism, which is why it is considered an antagonist of the dopaminergic effect of levodopa during therapy for shaking palsy.

Products containing copper and calcium and zinc and magnesium can affect the absorption of antibiotics and oral antiviral drugs, causing the systemic indicators of the latter to decrease.

Storage conditions

Oligovit must be kept in a dark and dry place, out of reach of children. Temperature – no more than 25°C.
