Precautions:
It is recommended to take the drug for the shortest possible course and in the minimum effective dose necessary to eliminate the symptoms. Patients with diabetes mellitus should take into account that each tablet contains about 2.6 g of sugar (0.22 XE). High doses of ascorbic acid increase the excretion of oxalates, contributing to the formation of kidney stones. In newborns whose mothers took ascorbic acid in high doses, and in adults who took ascorbic acid in high doses, “rebound” scurvy may be observed. With prolonged use of ascorbic acid in high doses, suppression of the function of the insular apparatus of the pancreas is possible. In patients with increased iron content in the body, ascorbic acid should be used in minimal doses.

Nausea, abdominal pain, discomfort in the mouth (burning or tingling sensation, swelling); rash.
If the above or other side effects not listed in the instructions occur, the patient should stop using the drug and consult a doctor.
