1. What is Multi-Sanostol and what is it used for

Multi-Sanostol is a multivitamin medicine in the form of a syrup. It contains both fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E) and water-soluble vitamins (vitamins B, B, B, C, PP, dexpanthenol) and additionally calcium.
Vitamins are essential for the proper functioning of the body. The daily diet is often too poor and cannot meet the daily demand for vitamins.
Multi-Sanostol is used:

• in the prevention and treatment of vitamin deficiencies in conditions of increased demand for vitamins;
• in loss of appetite;
• in tendencies to frequent infections;
• during growth and development;
• in states of physical and mental exhaustion and fatigue;
• in decreased ability to concentrate;
• during the recovery period after illnesses and antibiotic therapy;
• to improve the overall condition of the body.

Multi-Sanostol can be given to children over 1 year of age, as well as adolescents and adults.

2. Important information before taking Multi-Sanostol

If the patient has

• rare hereditary disorders associated with fructose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption syndrome, saccharase-isomaltase deficiency;
• increased calcium levels in the blood (hypercalcemia), increased calcium excretion in the urine (hypercalciuria);
• increased levels of vitamin A or D (hypervitaminosis A or D).

Warnings and precautions

If additional information is needed, the doctor or pharmacist should be consulted before taking the medicine.
Multi-Sanostol should not be taken in larger doses than recommended in people with kidney stones or suffering from sarcoidosis (Boeck's disease).
In these cases, the doctor's advice should be sought before taking the medicine.
With long-term use, the recommended dosage should not be exceeded.
Taking Multi-Sanostol in larger doses than recommended may lead to an overdose of vitamins A or D, especially when taken with other medicines containing these vitamins.
In the case of specific deficiencies of individual vitamins, the doctor should be consulted.
When taking Multi-Sanostol, urine may turn yellow due to the content of vitamins from group B.
If the patient has previously been diagnosed with intolerance to certain sugars, the patient should consult a doctor before taking the medicine (additional information about sugars is provided later in the leaflet).

Notice

Due to the content of fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins, the syrup may separate. This condition does not affect the quality of the medicine.
In the event of separation, the bottle should be shaken before use.

Multi-Sanostol and other medicines

The doctor or pharmacist should be informed about all medicines taken by the patient currently or recently, as well as any medicines the patient plans to take.
No specific interactions have been observed with the recommended doses.
When taken with preparations containing vitamins A or D, there is a risk of their overdose.
There is a risk of hypercalcemia (increased calcium levels in the blood) when taken with thiazides (diuretics).
In the case of increased calcium levels in the blood and concurrent use of digitalis preparations, heart rhythm disorders may occur.
Vitamin B in a daily dose of 5 mg or more may reduce the effectiveness of L-dopa (a medicine used to treat Parkinson's disease).

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, suspects she may be pregnant, or plans to have a child, she should consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
Due to the risk of fetal damage, vitamin A overdose should be avoided during pregnancy.
Similarly, with long-term overdose of vitamin D, the result is an increased calcium level in the blood, which can lead to physical and mental changes in the child.
Therefore, pregnant and breastfeeding women should not take the medicine without consulting a doctor.

Overdose of vitamin D can lead to chronic and life-threatening increased calcium levels in the blood (hypercalcemia). The symptoms are not very characteristic.
In the event of any of these symptoms, the use of Multi-Sanostol should be discontinued and the doctor should be consulted immediately.
