We all want to always be healthy and remain young and attractive as long as possible. But alas, the years take their toll and every year we grow older, and our body becomes weaker and more susceptible to various viruses and diseases.
As the great heart surgeon Amosov said, “Doctors treat various ailments, but you need to achieve health yourself.” There is only truth in his words, because our health in the future depends on what kind of life we lead.
We especially need to closely monitor the health of our children. A child’s body at the beginning of its development is very weak and needs to be constantly supported and strengthened.
Today I would like to talk in detail about multi-tabs vitamins for children.

Pharmacodynamics
The pharmacodynamics of Multi-tabs Classic due to its multicomponent composition have not been sufficiently studied.
Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic parameters of the multicomponent drug have not been sufficiently studied at the moment.
Multi-tabs with vitamin C
Foods rich in ascorbic acid: citrus fruits, greens, vegetables (peppers, broccoli, cabbage, tomatoes, potatoes). When storing food (including long-term freezing, drying, salting, pickling), cooking (especially in copper utensils), chopping vegetables and fruits in salads, and preparing purees, ascorbic acid is partially destroyed (up to 30-50% during heat treatment).
Due to the stimulating effect of ascorbic acid on the synthesis of corticosteroid hormones, it is necessary to monitor renal function and blood pressure.
With long-term use of large doses, inhibition of the function of the pancreatic insular apparatus is possible, so it must be regularly monitored during treatment.
In patients with high iron levels in the body, ascorbic acid should be used in minimal doses.
Currently, the effectiveness of using ascorbic acid for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and some types of malignant tumors is considered unproven.
Ascorbic acid is not recommended for use in cases of pyorrhea, infectious gum diseases, hemorrhagic phenomena, hematuria, hemorrhage in the retina, disorders of the immune system, depression not associated with vitamin C deficiency.
The drug is considered insufficiently effective in the treatment of anemia, acne vulgaris, bronchial asthma, infertility, atherosclerosis, peptic ulcers, tuberculosis, schizophrenia, dysentery, collagenosis, ulcerative skin lesions, hay fever, fractures, drug intoxication, general hypothermia, and to prevent thrombosis.
Prescribing ascorbic acid to patients with rapidly proliferating and intensively metastasizing tumors can aggravate the process.
Ascorbic acid as a reducing agent can distort the results of various laboratory tests (blood glucose, bilirubin, liver transaminase and LDH activity).
The minimum daily requirement for ascorbic acid in the II-III trimesters of pregnancy is about 60 mg. It should be borne in mind that the fetus can adapt to high doses of ascorbic acid taken by a pregnant woman, and then the newborn may develop a withdrawal syndrome.
The minimum daily requirement during lactation is 80 mg. A maternal diet containing adequate amounts of ascorbic acid is sufficient to prevent deficiency in the infant. Theoretically, there is a danger to the baby when the mother uses high doses of ascorbic acid (it is recommended that a nursing mother not exceed the maximum daily requirement for ascorbic acid).

We could not ignore adults, because they also need vitamins to maintain their health. For this purpose, multi-tabs plus vitamins were released.
