You should not use this medication if you are allergic to cobalt, or if you have Leber's disease. Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap) can lead to optic nerve damage (and possibly blindness) in people with Leber's disease.

To treat pernicious anemia, you will have to use this medication on a regular basis for the rest of your life. Not using the medication can lead to irreversible nerve damage in your spinal cord.

Pernicious anemia is also treated with folic acid to help maintain red blood cells. However, folic acid will not treat Vitamin B12 deficiency and will not prevent possible damage to the spinal cord. Use all of your medications as directed.

Avoid eating or drinking hot foods or liquids within 1 hour before or after using the nasal form of this medication.

Tell your doctor if you develop nasal congestion, a cold, or allergies. The nasal spray may not work as well if you are congested.

What is the most important information I should know about Folic acid (Zincovit Cap)?

Because it may mask the hematologic abnormalities while neurological damage progresses, Folic acid (Zincovit Cap) should not be used in the therapy of patients with vitamin B12 deficiency of any cause, unless there is associated folate deficiency. The Folic acid (Zincovit Cap) content of one tablet a day however, is unlikely to mask pernicious anemia should this condition be present. Also, pregnancy during pernicious anemia is very rare.

The incidence of adverse experiences described in the Table below are based on data from a short-term clinical trial in vitamin B12 deficient patients in hematologic remission receiving Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap) (Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap), USP) Gel for Intranasal Administration (N=24) and intramuscular vitamin B12 (N=25). In the pharmacokinetic study comparing Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap) Nasal Spray and Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap) Nasal Gel, the incidence of adverse events was similar.

The intensity of the reported adverse experiences following the administration of Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap) (Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap), USP) Gel for Intranasal Administration and intramuscular vitamin B12 were generally mild. One patient reported severe headache following intramuscular dosing. Similarly, a few adverse experiences of moderate intensity were reported following intramuscular dosing (two headaches and rhinitis; one dyspepsia, arthritis, and dizziness), and dosing with Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap) (Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap), USP) Gel for Intranasal Administration (one headache, infection, and paresthesia).

The majority of the reported adverse experiences following dosing with Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap) (Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap), USP) Gel for Intranasal Administration and intramuscular vitamin B12 were judged to be intercurrent events. For the other reported adverse experiences, the relationship to study drug was judged as "possible" or "remote". Of the adverse experiences judged to be of "possible" relationship to the study drug, anxiety, incoordination, and nervousness were reported following intramuscular vitamin B12 and headache, nausea, and rhinitis were reported following dosing with Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap) (Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap), USP) Gel for Intranasal Administration.

The following adverse reactions have been reported with parenteral vitamin B12:

Generalized: Anaphylactic shock and death.

Cardiovascular: Pulmonary edema and congestive heart failure early in treatment; peripheral vascular thrombosis.

Hematological: Polycythemia vera.

Gastrointestinal: Mild transient diarrhea.

Dermatological: Itching; transitory exanthema.

Miscellaneous: Feeling of swelling of the entire body.

Coenzyme A (metabolite of dexpanthenol) is important for deep penetrating moisturizer; stimulates epithelization; has wound healing effect; has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Only the D-Calcium pantothenate (Zincovit Cap) is the provitamin of D-Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), not the L-Calcium pantothenate (Zincovit Cap).

A cream with dexpanthenol regularly applied to the skin improves the moisture content of dry skin significantly.

A cream with 5% dexpanthenol accelerates the healing of superficial wounds by approximately 30%.

An ointment with dexpanthenol prevents erythema due to UV light.

Dexpanthenol ointment also protects the lips against solar herpes, Sun burns, mild burns, skin irritations, dry or cracked skin, cosmetic or shaving rashes, post chemical peeling treatment, post laser resurfacing treatment ( 11th -15th day).

Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap) Nasal Spray is indicated for the maintenance of normal hematologic status in pernicious anemia patients who are in remission following intramuscular vitamin B12 therapy and who have no nervous system involvement.

Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap) Nasal Spray is also indicated as a supplement for other vitamin B12 deficiencies, including:

I. Dietary deficiency of vitamin B12 occurring in strict vegetarians (Isolated vitamin B12 deficiency is very rare).

II. Malabsorption of vitamin B12 resulting from structural or functional damage to the stomach, where intrinsic factor is secreted, or to the ileum, where intrinsic factor facilitates vitamin B12 absorption. These conditions include HIV infection, AIDS, Crohn's disease, tropical sprue, and nontropical sprue (idiopathic steatorrhea, gluten-induced enteropathy). Folate deficiency in these patients is usually more severe than vitamin B12 deficiency.

III. Inadequate secretion of intrinsic factor, resulting from lesions that destroy the gastric mucosa (ingestion of corrosives, extensive neoplasia), and a number of conditions associated with a variable degree of gastric atrophy (such as multiple sclerosis, HIV infection, AIDS, certain endocrine disorders, iron deficiency, and subtotal gastrectomy). Total gastrectomy always produces vitamin B12 deficiency. Structural lesions leading to vitamin B12 deficiency include regional ileitis, ileal resections, malignancies, etc.

IV. Competition for vitamin B12 by intestinal parasites or bacteria. The fish tapeworm (Diphyllobothrium latum) absorbs huge quantities of vitamin B12 and infested patients often have associated gastric atrophy. The blind loop syndrome may produce deficiency of vitamin B12 or folate.

V. Inadequate utilization of vitamin B12. This may occur if antimetabolites for the vitamin are employed in the treatment of neoplasia.

It may be possible to treat the underlying disease by surgical correction of anatomic lesions leading to small bowel bacterial overgrowth, expulsion of fish tapeworm, discontinuation of drugs leading to vitamin malabsorption, use of a gluten-free diet in non-tropical sprue, or administration of antibiotics in tropical sprue. Such measures remove the need for long-term administration of vitamin B12.

Requirements of vitamin B12 in excess of normal (due to pregnancy, thyrotoxicosis, hemolytic anemia, hemorrhage, malignancy, hepatic and renal disease) can usually be met with intranasal or oral supplementation.

Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap) Nasal Spray is not suitable for vitamin B12 absorption test (Schilling Test).

Qualitative and quantitative composition

Each tablet contains Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) 500 mg.

Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) (Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap)) is a vitamin that is freely soluble in water. The superior formulation of Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) (Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap)) assures substantial amounts per dose for prophylaxis and treatment of Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) deficiencies. This preparation has a very delectable grape (Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) Tablet) flavors.

A dibenzoxepin tricyclic compound. It displays a range of pharmacological actions including maintaining adrenergic innervation. Its mechanism of action is not fully understood, but it appears to block reuptake of monoaminergic neurotransmitters into presynaptic terminals. It also possesses anticholinergic activity and modulates antagonism of histamine H(1)- and H(2)-receptors.

Calcium pantothenate (Zincovit Cap) chloride is an ionic compound of Calcium pantothenate (Zincovit Cap) and chlorine. It is highly soluble in water and it is deliquescent. It is a salt that is solid at room temperature, and it behaves as a typical ionic halide. It has several common applications such as brine for refrigeration plants, ice and dust control on roads, and in cement. It can be produced directly from limestone, but large amounts are also produced as a by-product of the Solvay process. Because of its hygroscopic nature, it must be kept in tightly-sealed containers.

Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap) (commonly known as Vitamin B12) is the most chemically complex of all the vitamins. Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap)'s structure is based on a corrin ring, which, although similar to the porphyrin ring found in heme, chlorophyll, and cytochrome, has two of the pyrrole rings directly bonded. The central metal ion is Co (cobalt). Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap) cannot be made by plants or by animals, as the only type of organisms that have the enzymes required for the synthesis of Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap) are bacteria and archaea. Higher plants do not concentrate Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap) from the soil and so are a poor source of the substance as compared with animal tissues. Cyanocobalamin (Zincovit Cap) is naturally found in foods including meat (especially liver and shellfish), eggs, and milk products. [HMDB]

A member of the vitamin B family that stimulates the hematopoietic system. It is present in the liver and kidney and is found in mushrooms, spinach, yeast, green leaves, and grasses (poaceae).

Pyridoxine hydrochloride (Zincovit Cap) is the 4-methanol form of vitamin B6 and is converted to pyridoxal 5-phosphate in the body. Pyridoxal 5-phosphate is a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid. Although Pyridoxine hydrochloride (Zincovit Cap) and vitamin B6 are still frequently used as synonyms, especially by medical researchers, this practice is erroneous and sometimes misleading. [PubChem]

Nutritional factor found in milk, eggs, malted barley, liver, kidney, heart, and leafy vegetables. The richest natural source is yeast. It occurs in the free form only in the retina of the eye, in whey, and in urine; its principal forms in tissues and cells are as flavin mononucleotide and flavin-adenine dinucleotide. [PubChem]

Vitamin A acetate (Zincovit Cap) (Glucoenergan, Reactivan) is a stimulant which was developed in the 1960s as an appetite suppressant, but was later withdrawn for this application due to problems with dependence and abuse. It is around half the potency of dexamphetamine, and is prescribed at a dose of 10-60mg, although abusers of the drug tend to rapidly develop tolerance and escalate their dose. Reactivan is still rarely used for treating depressive day-time fatigue, lack of concentration and lethargy, particularly in individuals who have chronic medical conditions, as its favourable safety profile makes it the most suitable drug in some cases.

Dosage (Posology) and method of administration

Important Preparation and Administration Instructions
  • Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) vials contain 25, 000 mg of Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) and the largest recommended single dose is 200 mg. Do not give the entire contents of the vial to a single patient.
  • Do not administer Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) as an undiluted intravenous sensitive.
  • Minimize exposure to light because Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) is light sensitive.
  • Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) is supplied as a Pharmacy Bulk Package (PBP) which is intended for dispensing of single doses to multiple patients in a pharmacy admixture program and is restricted to the preparation of admixtures for infusion:

a. Use only in a suitable ISO Class 5 work area such as a laminar flow hood (or an equivalent clean air compounding area)

b. Penetrate each PBP vial closure only one time with a suitable sterile transfer device or dispensing set that allows measured dispensing of the contents. Given that pressure may develop within the vial during storage, excercise caution when withdrawing contents from the vial.

c. Once the closure system has been penetrated, complete all dispensing from the PBP vial within 4 hours. Each dose must be used immediately. Discard unused portion.

d. Prior to administration, Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) must be diluted in a suitable infusion solution and the final solution for infusion must be isotonic (undiluted the osmolarity of Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) is approximately 5,900 mOsmol/L). Prior to preparing the admixture for infusion, calculate the osmolarity of the intended admixture for infusion. Add one daily dose of Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) directly to an appropriate volume of a suitable infusion solution (e.g., 5% Dextrose Injection, Sterile Water for Injection) and add appropriate solutes, as necessary, to make final solution isotonic. Sterile Water for Injection is highly hypotonic; adjust solute content, as necessary, to make thet final infusion solution isotonic prior to injection. Do not mix Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) with solutions containing elemental compounds that can be reduced (e.g., copper). The concentration of Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) in the final, admixture solution for infusion is to be the range of 1 to 25 mg of Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) per mL. For example, for the largest recommended dose:

Add 200 mg of Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) (equivalent to 0.4 mL of Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap)) to 7.5 mL of Sterile Water for Injection to produce an infusion solution having an approximate osmolarity of 290 mOsmol/L. In this specific example, addition of solute is NOT necessary because the solution is isotonic.

e. Prepare the recommended dose based on the patient population [ see Dosage and Administration (2.2), (2.3)].

f. Visually inspect for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration (the diluted Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) solution should appear colorless to pale yellow).

g. Immediately administer the admixture for infusion as a slow intravenous infusion [ see Recommended Dosage, (2.2)]

Recommended Dosage

Table 1 provides recommended doses of Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) based on patient population and infusion rates of diluted Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) solution.

The recommended maximum duration of daily treatment with Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) is seven days. If no improvement in scorbutic symptoms is observed after one week of treatment, retreat until resolution of scorbutic symptoms is observed.

Repeat dosing is not recommended in pediatric patients less than 11 years of age.

Dosage Reductions in Specific Populations

Women who are pregnant or lactating and patients with glucose-6-dehydrogenase deficiency should not exceed the U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) or daily Adequate Intake (AI) level for Ascorbic acid (Zincovit Cap) for their age group and condition [ ​ see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.2)].

Dose Adjustments

Rarely, a dosage of 2 mg/day may be required, particularly in patients with malabsorption, alcoholism, chronic hemolysis, chronic exfoliative skin disease or who are on concomitant anticonvulsant therapy.

Dialysis

Folic acid (Zincovit Cap) is removed by both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. The amount removed varies with type equipment used.

Because folate may accumulate in patients with end-stage renal disease, side effects may be more likely in this patient who is undergoing dialysis. Once this patient's body stores of folate are replete, three times a week dosing may be just as beneficial as once daily dosing but should portend a lower risk of side effects.

Other Comments

The recommended daily allowance of Folic acid (Zincovit Cap) for adult males and females ranges from 150 to 200 and 150 to 180 mcg/day, respectively.

There is a potential danger in administering Folic acid (Zincovit Cap) to patients with undiagnosed anemia, since Folic acid (Zincovit Cap) may obscure the diagnosis of pernicious anemia by alleviating the hematologic manifestations of the disease while allowing the neurologic complications to progress.

Severe megaloblastic anemia may require therapy for 4 to 5 weeks. Once stabilized, if dietary intake is inadequate, maintenance therapy can be started.

Dietary supplement: Infants, Children, and Adolescents: A multivitamin preparation is most commonly used for the provision of Riboflavin (Zincovit Cap) supplementation in pediatric patients; the use of a single-ingredient Riboflavin (Zincovit Cap) product as a daily supplement for the prevention of deficiency in pediatric patients is very rare. If single-ingredient Riboflavin (Zincovit Cap) supplement is necessary, consult product labeling for appropriateness of product in infants and young children in particular.

Migraine headache, prevention: Limited data available, efficacy results variable: Children ≥ 8 years and Adolescents:

Oral: 200 to 400 mg once daily; dosing based on a retrospective study of 41 patients (ages 8 to 18 years) who received 200 mg/day (n=21) or 400 mg/day (n=20) as prophylaxis for migraine and migraine-type headaches; results showed significant reduction in primary endpoint of frequency of headache attack; 68.4% of patients had a ≥50% decrease in headache frequency during treatment (Condò 2009). However, in a prospective, placebo-controlled study of 48 patients (ages 5 to 15 years), patients received 200 mg/day (n=27) or placebo (n=21) and in the treatment group (Riboflavin (Zincovit Cap)) no benefit compared to placebo for migraine frequency or intensity was observed; a high placebo responder rate was also reported (MacLennan 2008).

Hypoparathyroidism (off-label use): Note: Active Vitamin D (Zincovit Cap) preparations (ie, alfacalcidol, calcitriol) in conjunction with Vitamin D (Zincovit Cap) supplementation are recommended therapy. Addition of cholecalciferol (or ergocalciferol) may be considered for supplemental therapy (Endocrine Society [Brandi 2016]).

Osteoporosis, prevention (off-label use): Adults ≥50 years of age:

Oral: 800 to 1,000 units/day is recommended, through dietary sources and/or supplementation if needed (NOF [Cosman 2014]).

Vitamin D (Zincovit Cap) insufficiency/deficiency treatment (off-label use): Note: Repletion strategies may vary depending on desired target serum 25(OH)D levels as well as the clinical status of the patient. The optimal serum 25(OH)D level is controversial; the Institute of Medicine recommends a 25(OH)D level >20 ng/mL as sufficient in nearly all persons (IOM 2011), whereas others have suggested targeting a level of ~30 ng/mL to minimize the risk of fractures, particularly in patients with osteoporosis (AACE [Camacho 2016]; NOF [Cosman 2014]). However, some data suggest levels >40 ng/mL (median level in one trial: ~48 ng/mL) are associated with increased risk of falls in postmenopausal women (Sanders 2010; Smith 2017).

Therefore, some experts recommend a range of 20 to 40 ng/mL as a reasonable target in most patients (Dawson-Hughes 2018). In patients with normal absorption, for every 100 units/day of cholecalciferol, the serum 25(OH)D level is expected to increase by ~0.7 to 1 ng/mL after a few weeks (ASPEN [McKeever 2017]; Dawson-Hughes 2018). The dose-response declines as the 25(OH)D concentration increases above 40 ng/mL (100 nmol/L) (Dawson-Hughes 2018). The following recommendations are based primarily on expert opinion and clinical experience:

Initial dosing (according to baseline serum 25(OH)D level):

Serum 25(OH)D 20 to 30 ng/mL: Initial: Supplementation dosing:

Oral: 600 to 800 units once daily; a repeat serum 25(OH)D level is not required (Dawson-Hughes 2018) or 1,000 to 2,000 units once daily; may consider a repeat serum 25(OH)D level in ~3 months to determine if the target level has been achieved (Khan 2010).

Serum 25(OH)D 10 to <20 ng/mL: Initial:

Supplementation dosing:

Oral: 800 to 1,000 units once daily (Dawson-Hughes 2018) or

OR

Therapeutic dosing (ie, high-dose cholecalciferol):

Oral: 50,000 units once weeklydaily

Serum 25(OH)D <10 ng/mL or in patients with deficiency symptoms: Initial: Therapeutic dosing (ie, high-dose cholecalciferol):

Oral: 50,000 units once weeklydaily

Maintenance dosing: Maintenance dosing is highly patient specific and dependent on target 25(OH)D level, and may range from: 600 to 800 units/day (Dawson-Hughes 2018) to 1,000 to 2,000 units/day (AACE [Camacho 2016]; NOF [Cosman 2014]).

Special populations (obese patients, patients on medications known to affect Vitamin D (Zincovit Cap) metabolism, patients with malabsorption syndromes or gastrectomy): Higher doses or longer durations may be necessary for adequate repletion (AACE [Camacho 2016]; Dawson-Hughes 2018).

Vitamin D (Zincovit Cap) deficiency/insufficiency in patients with chronic kidney disease (off-label use):

Oral:

Note: In patients without severe and progressive hyperparathyroidism, including chronic kidney disease stages G3 to G5 and dialysis or transplant patients, KDIGO guidelines recommend correcting Vitamin D (Zincovit Cap) deficiency and insufficiency with treatment strategies recommended for the general population using cholecalciferol (or ergocalciferol) while avoiding hypercalcemia and ensuring phosphate levels are in the normal range. An individualized monitoring approach to direct treatment is also recommended (KDIGO 2009; KDIGO 2017). In patients in whom serum parathyroid hormone levels are progressively rising and remain persistently elevated despite correction of modifiable factors (eg, hyperphosphatemia, Vitamin D (Zincovit Cap) deficiency), calcitriol or Vitamin D (Zincovit Cap) analogs are suggested instead of cholecalciferol (or ergocalciferol) (KDOQI commentary [Uhlig 2010]).

What other drugs will affect Folic acid (Zincovit Cap)?

Medications that interfere with your bodys ability to use folate may also increase the need for this vitamin. Medications can interfere with folate utilization, including: anticonvulsant medications (such as phenytoin, and primidone) metformin (sometimes prescribed to control blood sugar in type 2 diabetes) sulfasalazine (used to control inflammation associated with Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis) triamterene (a diuretic) Methotrexate There has been concern about the interaction between vitamin B12 and Folic acid (Zincovit Cap). Folic acid (Zincovit Cap) supplements can correct the anemia associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. Unfortunately, Folic acid (Zincovit Cap) will not correct changes in the nervous system that result from vitamin B12 deficiency. Permanent nerve damage could theoretically occur if vitamin B12 deficiency is not treated. Therefore, intake of supplemental Folic acid (Zincovit Cap) should not exceed 1000 micrograms (g, sometimes mcg) per day to prevent Folic acid (Zincovit Cap) from masking symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency. It is important for older adults to be aware of the relationship between Folic acid (Zincovit Cap) and vitamin B12 because they are at greater risk of having a vitamin B12 deficiency. If you are 50 years of age or older, ask your physician to check your B12 status before you take a supplement that contains Folic acid (Zincovit Cap).
