Ascorutin: a combined vitamin preparation for many problems

Ascorutin belongs to the group of vitamin-containing drugs. The medicine is widely used for various diseases accompanied by decreased immunity, fragility of blood vessels and capillaries, allergies, lack of vitamins C and P, and other conditions. Instructions for use of Ascorutin include indications such as prevention of hypovitaminosis P and C, vascular pathologies, elimination of flu symptoms and others. The product is available in the form of tablets, each of which contains 50 mg of rutin and ascorbic acid.

Analogs

Instead of Ascorutin, you can use analogues containing the same active substances:

• Ascorutin D or Ascorutin-UBF. These drugs have the same composition and the same indications for use as Ascorutin.
• Prophylactic S. In this preparation, the dosage of ascorbic acid is higher (100 mg), and rutoside, on the contrary, is reduced (25 mg). The medicine is prescribed to prevent or eliminate the deficiency of its constituent compounds, as well as for children over 4 years of age with heavy loads or intensive growth. The drug is in demand for the prevention of acute respiratory infections, as well as for their complex treatment.
• AscoRutical forte. These film-coated tablets contain not only rutoside at a dose of 50 mg and vitamin C at a higher dose (200 mg), but also 200 mg of calcium. The remedy is indicated for a- or hypovitaminosis, infectious diseases, as well as problems with blood vessels. It can be given from 5 years of age.

What childhood diseases are treated with ascorutin?

Ascorutin is very effective in fighting infections. The poor condition of the vascular system greatly aggravates the course of diseases such as influenza, scarlet fever, tonsillitis and measles. The drug serves to strengthen the walls of blood vessels, eliminates their fragility, and improves permeability. It relieves skin rashes that often accompany infectious diseases.

With the help of ascorutin, it is possible to prevent and alleviate the course of childhood chronic glomerulonephritis. These diseases are expressed in the impact of infection on the kidneys, further tissue inflammation, swelling and loss of organ functionality. Glomerulonephritis is accompanied by accelerated loss of proteins, which entails weakening of the child’s body. Ascorutin takes an active part in returning the renal tubules and glomeruli to their functionality. During the treatment of glomerulonephritis in children over 3 years of age, the drug is often included in a complex of health procedures.

Ascorutin helps to effectively treat children suffering from hemorrhagic diathesis

Increased bleeding can be caused by capillary toxicosis (Henoch-Schönlein disease). Children aged 5–10 years are often susceptible to this disease. The pathology develops in the process of joining an allergic reaction to the vascular tissues to the infection. Due to excessive capillary permeability, the skin becomes covered with a characteristic rash. Hemorrhagic diathesis is also expressed by thrombocytopenic purpura (Werlhof's disease), in which blood clotting is impaired as a result of platelet deficiency. Ascorutin, which is involved in the complex treatment of hemorrhagic diathesis, strengthens blood vessels and reduces the activity of the enzyme hyaluronidase, which destroys intercellular tissue.

Ascorutin is used to treat nosebleeds in children.

Effect of the drug

Ascorutin refers to capillary-stabilizing (capillary-protective) drugs containing in one tablet of a greenish or yellowish tint:

• ascorbic acid (vitamin C) – 50 mg;
• rutin (rutoside) – 50 mg.

In addition to vitamins, tablets are made with additional ingredients: sugar, potato starch, calcium stearate, talc.

Ascorutin is produced by many pharmaceutical companies in the former Soviet Union in tablet form

The beneficial properties of a drug are determined by its active components.

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is vital for human health, but is not produced by the body, but enters it with plant foods.

Vitamin C:

• prevents fragility and fragility of blood vessels, strengthens them and makes them more elastic;
• is a participant in hematopoiesis. Promotes normal absorption of iron;
• exhibits antioxidant properties;
• improves the condition of the immune system, which prevents the emergence and development of bacteria, viruses, and various infections. Is indispensable for colds and fever;
• participates in the metabolic process;
• helps increase skin turgor at the cellular level by participating in collagen production;
• has a beneficial effect on the nervous system;
• removes cholesterol from the body;
• has an anti-inflammatory effect;
• has a regenerating effect, promotes rapid healing of skin damage, etc.

A lack of vitamin C in the body is fraught with:

• a decrease in the body’s defenses and, as a result, colds and viral diseases;
• increased fatigue, irritability, lethargy, fatigue, depression;
• scurvy;
• bleeding from the gums;
• deterioration of the condition of the skin, hair, and cartilage tissue;
• premature aging, etc.

Vitamin P is also not produced by the body, but is found in foods of plant origin. Rutin is a natural compound that combines a group of flavonoids.

Vitamin P:

• helps better absorption of ascorbic acid, participates in the production of vitamin E;
• normalizes metabolism;
• thins the blood;
• increases the elasticity and strength of blood vessels;
• helps normalize blood pressure;
• has a regenerating effect;
• participates in the production of collagen, which leads to a rejuvenating effect;
• prevents varicose veins, spontaneous bleeding, and the appearance of cellulite;
• participates in the formation of bile and the regulation of daily urination;
• has an anti-edematous and analgesic effect;
• fights allergies;
• acts as an antioxidant defense for the body from external negative factors;
• Boosts immunity and more.

Lack of routine manifests itself:

• fragility of capillaries in the form of: subcutaneous pinpoint hemorrhages, small bruises;
• pain in the lower extremities;
• general weakness, malaise, fatigue, decreased performance.

These symptoms are most often observed in the autumn-winter period, in the absence of fresh vegetables, fruits and berries in the diet.

Ascorutin has a pronounced strengthening effect on the smallest vessels - capillaries

Ascorutin is prescribed:

• in case of deficiency of ascorbic acid and vitamin P in the body;
• capillary pathologies caused by the use of medications containing salicylic acid and drugs that lead to a decrease in blood clotting (indirect coagulants);
• hemorrhagic diathesis – pathologies accompanied by bleeding and hemorrhage. The effect of the drug manifests itself mainly in cases of impaired capillary permeability (capillary toxicosis or Henoch-Schönlein disease), as well as a decrease in platelets in the blood (thrombocytopenic purpura);
• hemorrhage into the tissue of the eyes;
• radiation sickness, accompanied by damage to the vascular walls;
• infectious and infectious-allergic heart diseases (septic endocarditis, rheumatism);
• glomerulonephritis;
• arachnoiditis;
• allergies;
• infectious diseases that cause damage to capillaries (measles, scarlet fever, typhus, influenza);
• hypertension.

The drug is also able to eliminate nosebleeds caused by fragility of blood vessels.

It is prohibited to take the drug in combination with other vitamin complexes. Starting from the 2nd and 3rd trimester, the doctor prescribes the medicine 1 tablet three times a day.

Important! Independent use of Ascorutin during a delicate period can cause significant harm not only to the mother’s body, but also to the child.

Interaction with other drugs

• If you prescribe Ascorutin along with iron supplements, Fe absorption will improve.
• The combined use of Ascorutin and penicillin antibiotics also leads to greater absorption of the antibacterial agent.
• Ascorutin has the ability to reduce the therapeutic effect of anticoagulants (both indirect and heparin).
• Sulfonamide drugs prescribed together with Ascorutin will be less effective.
• If you give your child Ascorutin and salicylates together, their side effects will increase.
• Prescribing Ascorutin together with B vitamins will enhance their therapeutic effect.
• With long-term use of Ascorutin, it is possible to enhance the effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antihypertensive drugs and cardiac glycosides.

Drug overdose

With uncontrolled use of the medication, an overdose can quite easily occur. As a rule, this happens if the patient takes 10 or more tablets at a time.

In such situations, a person may experience the following symptoms:

• a sharp increase in blood pressure;
• disruption of the pancreas;
• renal dysfunction.

Also, after taking a large number of pills, the patient often experiences headaches, vomiting, insomnia, diarrhea and nausea. In case of an intentional or accidental overdose of Ascorutin, the victim is recommended to drink 6-7 tablets of activated carbon, and then immediately call an ambulance.

Side effects

In most cases, the vitamin preparation is well tolerated by patients. With the correct dosage and compliance with all doctor’s recommendations for taking the drug, no negative effects are observed. If any alarming symptoms occur, such as headache, allergies, insomnia, digestive upset, etc., you should stop taking the medication.

Sometimes side effects occur in the form of skin allergies

When taking more than 10 tablets at one time, there is a high risk of overdose. In this case, a person experiences pain in the stomach and intestines, headache, vomiting, sleep disturbances, and loss of appetite. To alleviate the condition, you need to drink 6 tablets of activated carbon. This will help remove excess rutin and vitamin C from the blood.

Use during pregnancy and lactation

Whether this drug can be used by a woman expecting a child depends on the period at which she is pregnant. Ascorutin during pregnancy is strictly contraindicated in the first trimester, which is explained by the following. During the period when all the organs of the fetus are being formed, the penetration of any third-party substances through the blood of a pregnant woman to the baby should be limited as much as possible, so as not to harm him.

When a woman is in later stages of pregnancy, Ascorutin can be prescribed, for example, for dilated veins in the legs or for the prevention of uterine bleeding during labor. Whether this medicine can be taken during lactation should also be decided by the doctor. Although rutin does not pass into breast milk, and vitamin C is detected there in insignificant concentrations, a breastfed baby is very sensitive to any change in the composition of its diet. For this reason, doctor's supervision when taking the drug is mandatory.

How does Ascorutin work?

The vitamins contained in the drug quickly dissolve in the stomach and are absorbed through the mucous membrane into the blood. In the complex, ascorbic acid and rutoside complement and enhance each other’s effectiveness. Both compounds are active antioxidants. They help reduce intoxication of the body during inflammatory and infectious processes, increase resistance, regulate blood clotting and fluidity, preventing red blood cells from sticking together.

In the complex therapy of vascular diseases, Ascorutin helps restore peripheral blood supply, restore the integrity of capillaries, prevent and eliminate edema, trophic ulcers, improve the supply of nutrients to tissues and the removal of toxins.

Analogs of vitamin preparation

Ascorutin tablets are produced by many Russian pharmaceutical companies. Medicines with the same composition are not produced abroad. The domestic drugs Ascorutin-UBF and Ascorutin-D are considered complete structural analogues of the active ingredients. The difference between the second remedy is the absence of sucrose.

Reviews

Lidiya Vasilievna, general practitioner, Moscow I prescribe Ascorutin depending on the patient’s health condition. If no pathologies are identified, but the person is systematically susceptible to colds and viral diseases, he feels a constant feeling of weakness. This is a direct indication for prescribing the drug. It has proven itself well, is suitable for almost all categories of patients, when used correctly, causes virtually no side effects and is affordable.

Igor, 38 years old, builder, Belgorod With the beginning of autumn I start to get sick. Working outdoors, I constantly catch colds. It is undesirable to take sick leave due to a severe loss in wages. Mom suggested taking Ascorutin. At first nothing, but after a week small blisters appeared that were very itchy. He did not in any way connect their occurrence with taking the medicine, and began to get rid of the rash with all kinds of ointments. As a result, I had to see a doctor. It turned out that these manifestations are one of the side effects of the drug. As soon as I stopped taking Ascorutin, the rashes disappeared.

Svetlana, 32 years old, housewife, Perm We have two children in our family – 5 and 8 years old. The older one has constant nosebleeds even when the weather changes, not just from blows. I started taking Ascorutin tablets twice a day. After a week the bleeding became less. And after the course of treatment (a month) they disappeared completely. In addition, I give my kids pills in the fall to prevent colds and flu. The children practically do not get sick, are active, and do well at school. There are no side effects. I am very grateful to the drug. I am a supporter of healthy eating and in the summer I try not to feed the children pills, but provide them with a healthy diet.

Elena, 25 years old, young mother, Pskov The pregnancy was very difficult: swelling, varicose veins, symptoms of hemorrhoids, constant threat of failure. She took a huge amount of medications. In the middle of pregnancy, the gynecologist prescribed Ascorutin. At first I was skeptical. But over time, the drug was appreciated. The unpleasant symptoms gradually decreased, the birth went well, and the baby was born healthy.

Description of the drug

The drug compensates for the deficiency of ascorbic acid and rutin. It is known that vitamins P and C increase resistance to infections, as well as harmful environmental factors. Their combination strengthens connective tissues and promotes cell regeneration. Prescribed for conditions characterized by increased permeability of the vascular wall and capillary fragility.

Rutin is absorbed in the digestive tract, facilitating the transport of ascorbic acid to the small intestine. It is excreted from the body within a maximum of 24 hours with bile or urine. Ascorbic acid in the body is converted to dehydroascorbic acid, after which it is distributed throughout the body. Most goes to the adrenal glands, where the substance is metabolized and then eliminated through the urinary system in the form of oxalate. The remaining part is excreted with bile through the digestive tract.
