We need to know about ascorbic acid

What is ascorbic acid?

Ascorbic Acid is commonly known as “vitamin C”. It is mainly used to treat and prevent the disease “scurvy” caused by the lack of vitamin C in the body. The main function of vitamin C is to increase and repair tissues in various parts of the body and a type of collagen needed for wound healing, help the gastrointestinal tract absorb iron-containing minerals, and adrenaline needed for nerve conduction, etc. If the body lacks “vitamin C”, many symptoms will occur, such as difficult wound healing, bleeding gums, joint pain, anemia, susceptibility to bacterial infection, periodontal disease, and symptoms that affect bone and tooth loss.

Indications: When a large amount of vitamin C is needed, and it is also used for scurvy, pediatric scurvy, latent scurvy, bleeding gums.

Vitamin C usage

Vitamin C is usually taken once a day. When taking this medicine, you should develop the habit of taking the medicine at the same time every day to reduce forgetting to take it. There are many dosage forms of this medicine, including chewable tablets, regular tablets, long-acting tablets or capsules, and liquid medicines. Vitamin C can be purchased in general pharmacies. When using the drug, you should read the instructions carefully and take it according to the instructions or the doctor’s instructions. When taking long-acting tablets or capsules, they should be swallowed whole, not chewed or crushed.

Precautions:

If a pregnant or nursing baby is allergic to medications, or has diabetes, gout, hyperthyroidism, cancer, kidney disease, gastric ulcers, etc., doctors need to be more cautious in taking medications for these conditions. Therefore, you should notify your doctor before using this medication.

Ascorbic acid in urine

When using vitamin C, you should take it in accordance with the dosage indicated by your doctor or pharmaceutical manufacturer, and not overdose. Since this medicine does not accumulate in the body, excess medicine will be excreted in the urine, causing waste. At the same time, the medicine excreted from the body can also change the acidity of the urine and increase the possibility of kidney stones.

Vitamin C may interfere with the results of urine measurement of sugar in diabetic patients. During the medication, you should ask your doctor or pharmacist what effective method is used to measure sugar in urine. At the same time, this medicine may also interfere with the results of other chemical tests. Before doing any urine or blood tests, you should tell your doctor or examiner that you are taking this medicine.

Natural ascorbic acid

In daily life, if there is a sufficient and balanced diet, the vitamins needed by normal people can be provided without the need for supplementation with external drugs. Generally, foods containing more vitamin C include oranges, lemons, watermelons, guava, tomatoes, strawberries and so on. At the same time, if you simply take this vitamin c, it will not completely supplement the body’s needs for other types of vitamins. Only balanced and nutritious food is the best way.
