Today, our body is more than ever exposed to negative external factors. This is the ecology and the frantic rhythm of our lives, stress and poor nutrition (fast food, foods filled with chemical additives). Add to this physical inactivity and alcohol abuse - and it will become clear that the body can cope independently. Therefore, it is necessary not only to change your lifestyle, but also introduce vitamin supplements into the diet, for example, Decamevit. The instructions for use below will allow you to get acquainted with this drug. Despite the fact that it is primarily positioned as a drug for the elderly, it is widely used among the entire adult population.
Time-tested quality
For a third of a century, the drug "Decamevit" has not been discontinued. Instructions for use indicate that it has passed all clinical tests, because it was created back in Soviet times. Initially, it was released as a drug that can smooth the processes of premature aging and move them away. Later it began to be recommended as a regular vitamin complex.
Why you need to apply them
First of all, it is necessary to remember that every modern person suffers from a lack of vitamins and minerals. Our food is far from as nutritious as we used to think. Often, due to lack of time, we prepare fairly uniform dishes or even get by with processed foods. As a result, we ourselves are shaking our health. What does the Decamevit drug give us? Instructions for use suggest that it not only increases the overall resistance of the body to adverse effects, but also has a tonus-restoring and metabolic-stimulating effect. It activates the functions of the nervous system.
Indications for use
First of all, this, of course, hypovitaminosis and vitamin deficiency. These conditions are so common today that some doctors recommend taking vitamin complexes without interruption. This is not a medicine - one tablet gives a daily dose of vitamins and minerals that the body spends on its needs, and the next day it needs the same amount.
In addition, Decamevit is also widely used to strengthen immune defense and accelerate metabolic processes. Instructions for use emphasize that it is especially recommended to use this tool for older people. It is very useful to take a prophylactic course with high physical or mental stress, chronic fatigue, sleep disorders. The list of indications also includes the initial and middle stage of atherosclerotic changes in the vessels or hypertension. The drug shows excellent results during the recovery period after prolonged illnesses, including after a course of antibiotics and chemotherapy.
Release form and composition
Vitamins "Decamevit" are produced in tablet form. Each tablet contains a yellow film coat. Violating it by chewing a tablet is not necessary. Each pack contains 20 tablets. The composition of each tablet indicates its value for our body. They contain vitamins A and E, B12 and B1, B2 and B6. Also in the composition is folic acid and vitamins C, K, PP, C, as well as an amino acid called methionine.
Pharmacokinetics
Since the drug is very complex in terms of its composition, its effect is due to the combination of properties of all constituent components. That is, in order to fully understand what gives us the use of this drug, we must first study in detail its components. But as part of the complex, all the kinetic properties of the components cannot be monitored using biological experiments.
Pharmacodynamics
In order for you to better imagine, it is necessary to talk about each component of the drug "Decamevit". Its composition is quite complicated, so let's take it in order.
Vitamin A is an extremely important component, without which it is impossible to maintain normal vision. In addition, it is this vitamin that takes part in cell division. It perfectly strengthens the immune system. Favorably affects the strengthening of the walls of each cell and its protection against infections.
Next on the list is vitamin E. This is a real source of youth, which is extremely important for us. It prevents the oxidation of fats and has a positive effect on the state of immunity. No wonder left by those who took "Decamevit", reviews reliably show a tendency to improve the state of the body: shortness of breath goes away, the heartbeat returns to normal.
Vitamin B2 is a powerful antioxidant that stops the effects of free radicals on the body. This is one of the most important elements, since it normalizes the flow of metabolic processes.
Vitamin B3 - it is extremely important for digestion, which means it helps to improve metabolic processes and the movement of nutrients to tissues and organs.
The next element in the group is vitamin B6. This is an important element for most chemical reactions. He takes part in the production of serotonin, which means that it normalizes sleep and restores the nervous system.
Of particular note is the importance of vitamin B12: it is able to repair damaged tissue structures. It is essential for the stable function of the central nervous system, as well as for the synthesis of hemoglobin.
Metiomin is also added to the composition of the drug - this is the most important antioxidant, an indispensable enzymatic, hormonal and vitamin activator. Thanks to this element, the neutralization of toxic substances occurs.
As you can see, the composition is quite rich, but there is another plus, thanks to which the drug "Decamevit" has spread. Price, of course, plays not the last role. The cost of one package is 120-150 rubles.
Use of the drug during pregnancy
At first glance, it seems that the composition contains ordinary vitamins, which means that you can give them to at least someone: a teenager or a pregnant woman. In fact, there is a difference, and it consists in a different amount of certain components in different vitamin complexes. For example, retinol is abundant here. This can adversely affect fetal development. Therefore, it is better to use what your doctor has prescribed for you, or ask him if you can take Decamevit. This drug has analogues, we will talk about them a little later.
Contraindications and side effects
Like any other vitamin complexes, the drug has no contraindications. However, there are a number of cases when you need to consult a doctor before taking it. This is an individual intolerance and hypersensitivity to individual components of the drug. It is not recommended to take this complex with exacerbations of gastrointestinal diseases, with hypervitaminosis and fructose intolerance. A drug for preschool children is contraindicated.
Violation of these instructions or an increase in the prescribed dosage leads to dizziness and nausea, pain in the stomach that disappears after discontinuation of the drug.
Reviews and analogues
Of course, there are a lot of vitamin supplements on the market today, many of which are analogues of Decamevit. The price distinguishes it from all the others. You can call “Vitrum” and “Multi-Tabs”, “Pikovit” and many others. They are identical in composition, but each has its own focus, which means that the dosages will be different. Therefore, do not self-medicate, be sure to consult a doctor. Judging by the reviews, these vitamins are very effective. After the first course, visible changes are observed, cheerfulness and lightness appear, shortness of breath goes away, you feel a constant surge of strength.
