Mega C

Ascorbic Acid, the active ingredient in Mega C, is a vitamin presented as a dietary supplement for oral use. It supports normal physiological functions and helps prevent deficiency‑related conditions such as scurvy in the general population.

GNH USA supplies Mega C as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Mega C (Ascorbic Acid) provides nutritional support and acts within the antioxidant and collagen‑synthesis pathways.

- Scurvy: helps prevent and treat vitamin C deficiency disease. - General nutritional supplementation: contributes to normal immune function and overall health. - Antioxidant support: assists in protecting cells from oxidative stress.

Ascorbic Acid is generally well tolerated, but some users may experience mild adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal upset: nausea, abdominal cramps, or mild diarrhoea. - Stomach discomfort: occasional heartburn or indigestion. - Headache: transient mild headache in a small number of individuals.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Kidney stones: high doses may increase oxalate excretion, contributing to stone formation. - Allergic reactions: rash, itching, or swelling of the face, lips, or tongue. - Anaphylaxis: rare but severe systemic hypersensitivity requiring immediate medical attention.

When using Mega C, consider the following safety measures.

- Assess dietary intake: ensure supplementation is needed based on nutritional assessment. - Monitor high‑dose use: prolonged intake of large amounts may increase risk of kidney stones. - Avoid in known hypersensitivity: discontinue if allergic reactions occur. - Caution in renal impairment: adjust use under medical supervision. - Interact with iron supplements: avoid excessive combined dosing without guidance. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Ascorbic Acid can influence the absorption or effectiveness of several medicines.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Iron supplements: may increase iron absorption leading to overload. - Aluminum‑containing antacids: can reduce vitamin C absorption. - Certain chemotherapy agents (e.g., bortezomib): high‑dose vitamin C may diminish therapeutic effect.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Oral contraceptives: may slightly reduce hormonal efficacy. - Statins: potential increased risk of muscle toxicity. - Diuretics: heightened risk of kidney stone formation when combined with high vitamin C intake.
