Side effects

In recommended doses, the drug is well tolerated and rarely causes side effects, which are usually associated with individual intolerance to one of the components of the drug.

On the part of the immune system: in patients with hypersensitivity, allergic reactions are possible, including anaphylactic shock, angioedema, hyperthermia; bronchospasm in individuals with hypersensitivity to vitamins A, C, group B.

On the part of the skin and subcutaneous tissue: rashes, urticaria, itching, redness of the skin.

From the digestive tract: dyspeptic disorders, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, epigastric pain, belching, constipation, possibly increased secretion of gastric juice.

From the side of the nervous system: headache, dizziness, increased irritability, drowsiness.

Others: urine is yellow in color, hyperhidrosis, visual impairment.

With prolonged use of the drug in high doses, irritation of the mucous membrane of the digestive tract, arrhythmia, paresthesia, hyperuricemia, transient increase in the activity of AsAT, LDH, alkaline phosphatase, decrease in glucose tolerance, hyperglycemia, impaired renal function, dryness and cracks in the hands and feet, hair loss are possible , seborrheic rashes.

special instructions

When using the drug, it is necessary to observe the dose and duration of the course of administration.

In the absence of a therapeutic effect or the appearance of adverse reactions, you should consult a doctor for advice on the further use of the drug.

It is possible to stain urine in yellow, which is a safe symptom and is explained by the presence of riboflavin in the preparation.

The drug is prescribed with caution in case of severe liver injuries, stomach and duodenal ulcers, patients with nephritis, chronic pancreatitis, cholelithiasis, with decompensation of cardiac activity, coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, patients with neoplasms (except in cases accompanied by megaloblastic anemia), and urine.

When using Kvadevit, as well as other multivitamin preparations, a complete protein diet is needed, which contributes to better absorption and metabolism of vitamins, especially water-soluble ones.

Kvadevit is not recommended to be prescribed together with other vitamins and preparations containing trace elements, due to a possible overdose of the latter.

Use during pregnancy and lactation. During pregnancy and lactation, the drug is taken only on the recommendation of a doctor.

The dose of vitamin A should not exceed 5000 IU for pregnant women and women planning a pregnancy.

Retinol should not be taken in high doses (over 10,000 IU) during lactation due to the threat of hypervitaminosis A in infants.

Children. This dosage form is not intended for use in children under the age of 14 years.

The ability to influence the reaction rate when driving vehicles or working with other mechanisms. There is no data on the effect of the drug on the ability to drive a car or work with complex mechanisms.

Interactions

The drug is not recommended to be taken simultaneously with other multivitamins, since an overdose of the latter in the body is possible.

Vitamins A and E mutually reinforce the action and are synergists. Retinol reduces the severity of the anti-inflammatory effect of glucocorticoids. You can not be taken with nitrites and colestyramine at the same time, since they disrupt the absorption of retinol.

Vitamin A cannot be prescribed with retinoids, since their combination is toxic.

Preparations containing iron inhibit the action of vitamin E. Vitamin E cannot be used together with preparations of iron, silver, drugs that have an alkaline environment (sodium bicarbonate, trisamine, etc.), indirect anticoagulants (dicumarin, neodicumarin, etc. ) Alpha-tocopherol acetate enhances the effects of steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (sodium diclofenac, ibuprofen, prednisolone, etc.).

Vitamin C enhances the action of sulfonamides (risk of crystalluria), penicillin, increases iron absorption, reduces the effectiveness of heparin and indirect anticoagulants. The absorption of vitamin C is reduced while it is used with oral contraceptives.

Vitamin B₆ weakens the effect of levodopa, prevents or reduces the severity of toxic manifestations that are noted with the use of isoniazid and other anti-TB drugs.

Thiamine, affecting the polarization processes in the neuromuscular synapses, can weaken the curariform effect.

PASK, cimetidine, calcium preparations, alcohol reduce the absorption of vitamin B₁₂.

Folic acid reduces plasma concentrations of phenytoin, with other antiepileptic drugs, a mutual decrease in clinical effectiveness is possible.

Riboflavin is incompatible with streptomycin and reduces the effectiveness of antibacterial drugs (oxytetracycline, doxycycline, erythromycin, tetracycline and lincomycin).

Tricyclic antidepressants, imipramine and amitriptyline inhibit the metabolism of riboflavin, especially in the tissues of the heart.

Overdose

No cases of overdose of the drug quadvit have been reported. in case of an overdose, allergic reactions (itching, skin hyperemia, skin rashes) and dyspeptic symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, epigastric pain), changes in the skin and hair, impaired liver function, headache, drowsiness, lethargy, facial hyperemia can occur irritability.

Treatment: cancel the drug, symptomatic therapy.
