    There is an additional general information about this medication active ingredient vitamin c (ascorbic acid):

    Pharmacological action

    Ascorbic acid (vitamin c) is essential for the formation of intracellular collagen, is required to strengthen the structure of teeth, bones, and the capillary walls. Celin participates in redox reactions, the metabolism of tyrosine, converting folic acid into folinic acid, metabolism of carbohydrates, the synthesis of lipids and proteins, iron metabolism, processes of cellular respiration. Reduces the need for vitamins B1, B2, A, E, folic acid, pantothenic acid, enhances the body's resistance to infections; enhances iron absorption, contributing to its sequestration in reduced form. Celin has antioxidant properties.
    With intravaginal application of ascorbic acid lowers the vaginal pH, inhibiting the growth of bacteria and helps to restore and maintain normal pH and vaginal flora (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus gasseri).

    Pharmacokinetics

    After oral administration ascorbic acid is completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Widely distributed in body tissues.
    The concentration of ascorbic acid in blood plasma in normal amounts to approximately 10-20 mg / ml.
    The concentration of ascorbic acid in white blood cells and platelets is higher than in erythrocytes and plasma. When deficient state of concentration in leucocytes is reduced later and more slowly and is regarded as the best criterion for evaluating the deficit than the concentration in plasma.
    Plasma protein binding is about 25%.
    Ascorbic acid is reversibly oxidized to form dehydroascorbic acid, is metabolized with the formation of ascorbate-2-sulphate which is inactive and oxalic acid which is excreted in the urine.
    Ascorbic acid taken in excessive quantities is rapidly excreted unchanged in urine, it usually happens when exceeding a daily dose is 200 mg.

Therefore, it is recommended not to exceed the maximum daily nursing mother needs to ascorbic acid, except when the expected benefit outweighs the potential risk.

    Special instructions

    Celin is used with caution in patients with hyperoxaluria, renal impairment, a history of instructions on urolithiasis.

    Patients with high content body iron should apply ascorbic acid in minimal doses.
    Celin is used with caution in patients with deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.

    Celin may not be very useful once cold and runny nose has started as it takes time to act. Moreover the extra intake will only be wasted in the urine. To restrict the onset of common cold and runny noses, you need to take a regular dosage of Vitamin C. Like 2 to 3 tablets in a week at equally spaced intervals during the cold season. This will keep it under balance and improve your immunity. But remember, you must get yourself checked for conditions that can get aggravated with Vit. C before you start. A safe way is to take one Celin tablet each week.
