Description
Trade name:
Vidrop
Compound:
Each 28 drops (1 ml) contains:
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 2800 IU
Auxiliary components:
Polysorbitol 20, vitamin E, glycerin, disodium edetate, purified water.
Properties:
Vitamin D3 enhances calcium absorption in the intestine and phosphorus reabsorption in the renal tubules, normalizes the formation of the skeleton and teeth in children, and helps maintain bone structure. It increases the permeability of cellular and mitochondrial membranes of the intestinal epithelium, facilitating transmembrane transport of calcium cations and other divalent cations, activates phosphate reabsorption, increases the absorption of these ions by bone tissue, and enhances the ossification process.
Indications:
-Hypo- and avitaminosis of vitamin D3 (prevention and treatment), a state of increased need of the body for vitamin D: rickets, spasmophilia, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, nephrogenic osteopathy;
– Hypoparathyroidism (postoperative, idiopathic, tetany), pseudohypoparathyroidism.
Method of administration and dosage:
Dose for full-term infants:
4 drops per day (first year of life), starting from 2-5 weeks after birth.
Dosage for premature infants:
4-8 drops per day (in the first year of life).
For medicinal purposes for rickets, 50 drops per day for 3 weeks.
Contraindications:
-Hypersensitivity to vitamin D3, acute renal failure.
– hypercalcemia;
– hypervitaminosis D3;
-renal osteodystrophy – with hyperphosphatemia;
-calcium nephrolithiasis;
Precautions:
When used prophylactically, it is necessary to keep in mind the possibility of overdose, especially in children (more than 400,000-600,000 IU/year should not be prescribed). Long-term use in high doses leads to chronic hypervitaminosis D3.
It should be borne in mind that sensitivity to vitamin D3 varies from patient to patient, and in some patients even taking therapeutic doses can cause hypervitaminosis.
