Vitrum Cardio

Vitrum Cardio is a complex vitamin and mineral preparation designed to replenish vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is specially designed to maintain the health of the heart and blood vessels, as well as for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and atherosclerosis. The preparation includes such components as oat bran, ground plantain seeds, soy lecithin, chromium yeast, fish oil, vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, D3, E, folic acid, calcium pantothenate, beta-sitosterol, selenium and zinc.

These components help to reduce blood cholesterol and glucose levels, normalize lipid metabolism, reduce cholesterol deposits on the walls of blood vessels, and also have antioxidant properties. In particular, oat bran and ground plantain seeds are sources of soluble dietary fiber, which helps to reduce cholesterol and blood glucose. Soy lecithin normalizes cholesterol metabolism, beta-sitosterol lowers cholesterol levels, and fish oil provides the body with polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, which have antisclerotic and antithrombotic effects. In addition, vitamins A, C and E prevent oxidation of fatty acids, thus protecting blood vessels from atherosclerosis.

Pharmacokinetics

1. Vitamin A: Vitamin A, also known as retinol, is generally well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and metabolized in the liver. Its metabolites may be excreted through the bile and urine.

5. Vitamin E: Vitamin E, or tocopherols, are normally absorbed from the intestine along with fats and metabolized in the liver. They may be excreted through bile and urine.
6. Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin): Cyanocobalamin is also rapidly absorbed from the intestine and metabolized in the liver. Its metabolites are eliminated mainly through bile and urine.

• Electrolyte disturbances: An overabundance of certain minerals, such as calcium or potassium, can lead to electrolyte disturbances, which can have serious consequences for the heart and other organs.
• Toxic effects from individual components: Some components can have toxic effects in excess, such as iron, selenium, and others.

Treatment of overdose of multivitamin complexes includes symptomatic therapy taking into account the specific manifestations of overdose. In case of overdose, immediate medical attention should be sought or a toxicologist should be consulted. Patients are also advised not to exceed the recommended dosage and to follow the instructions on the package or the doctor's recommendations.

Interactions with other drugs
