ASCORBIC ACID belongs to a class of medicines called nutritional supplements used to prevent and treat nutritional deficiencies and vitamin C deficiency. A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. Vitamins and minerals are necessary for body development and the prevention of diseases.

ASCORBIC ACID contains Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) that works by increasing vitamin C levels in the body. Thus, it helps in treating vitamin C deficiency.

Take ASCORBIC ACID as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take ASCORBIC ACID for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience diarrhoea, nausea, stomach upset, heartburn, stomach cramps, redness, swelling or pain at the injection site. Most of these side effects of ASCORBIC ACID do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to ASCORBIC ACID or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. ASCORBIC ACID should be used in children only if prescribed by a doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult a doctor before using ASCORBIC ACID. If you have any kidney problem, inform your doctor before taking ASCORBIC ACID.
