В своей практике каждый врач неоднократно encountered a situation where the patient began taking the medication independently or on the advice of others, "forgetting" to consult a specialist. This state of affairs can play a cruel joke on a sick person, and attempts to use a medicine, even vitamins, without getting acquainted with the instructions are very dangerous. For example, the vitamins "Aevit", the instruction to which describes in detail all the features of taking this drug, clearly indicates that even this complex product, which includes fat-soluble vitamins A and E, should be taken under the supervision of a doctor.
Vitamins can harm the health
The domestic consumer (patient) has developedthe view that vitamin complexes produced by a Russian manufacturer can not harm the body even when these drugs are taken in unlimited doses.
Any vitamins in amounts that exceeda preventive dose for a healthy organism or a curative dose for a patient weakened by avitaminosis, begin to accumulate in organs and tissues and have a negative impact on them. The complex fat-soluble vitamins Aevit deserve special attention. The instruction attached to the drug clearly indicates the maximum doses of this medication, depending on the age. The reason is simple - although vitamins A and E are substances necessary for the normal functioning of vision, the work of the nervous system, the growth of bones, the synthesis of steroid hormones, including sex, their intake into the body must be strictly limited.
It has long been known that poisoning more oftenall arise with prolonged use of the drug "Aevit." Side effects of the drug are largely due to the fact that retinol (vitamin A) and tocopherol (vitamin E) are fat-soluble vitamins. These substances can accumulate in the body and create depot, that is, retained in cells of lipid tissue for a long time.
How does the body act "Aevit"
Each patient who has signsshortages in the body of vitamins A and E - fragility of the nails, deterioration of the hair and skin, visual impairment, especially twilight, a tendency to frequent fractures - it is worth consulting with a specialist even before taking capsules of the drug "Aevit." The description of this preparation clearly indicates that the possibility of the appearance of a negative effect of its components directly depends on the dose taken by the patient, and also on the duration of the course of treatment. Even with the appointment of this vitamin complex with the revealed indications - the use of strict diets with restriction of the intake of fats in the body, violations of digestibility and digestibility of food - the course of treatment is limited to the month of intake and the subsequent long break.
Если пациент хочет самостоятельно принимать vitamins "Aevit", the instruction will tell the most common indications and contraindications, and also describe the most frequent signs of an overdose of retinol and tocopherol in the body. Unconditional contraindications for taking vitamin capsules inside only a few, but special attention from them deserves the age of the patient (can not be used by adolescents under 14 years), the state of the organism (the negative effect on the developing pregnancy) and, of course, the appearance of signs of an overdose.
It should be noted and the fact that some patientssimultaneously begin to apply the oil solution obtained from the capsules to the skin and take the vitamins Aevit inside. The instruction categorically forbids to carry out such treatment independently, without supervision of the qualified doctor. After all, the active substances of this drug, dissolved in oil, are perfectly absorbed through the skin, absorbed and enter the systemic bloodstream. This further increases the risk of developing toxic reactions, which in some cases have to be treated very long and painfully.
