1. What is Scorbolamid EXTRA and what is it used for
Scorbolamid EXTRA is a multi-component medicine with a combined effect:
Salicylamide - has antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects.
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) - supplements vitamin C deficiency, supporting the body's immunity during infections.
Rutoside - stimulates the immune system and supports the body during viral infections. It increases the absorption of vitamin C and also prolongs its action.
Zinc - supplements zinc deficiency, supporting the body's immunity.
Indications for Use
Fever and symptoms associated with colds or flu, headaches, supporting the body's immunity in conditions of increased demand for vitamin C and zinc, and sealing blood vessels.
2. Important Information Before Taking Scorbolamid EXTRA
When Not to Take Scorbolamid EXTRA:
excessive amounts of uric acid in the blood or oxalates in the urine;
- in children and adolescents under 16 years of age (except for rare diseases, such as Kawasaki disease), due to the risk of Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious disease that causes liver and brain damage.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are taking, have recently taken, or plan to take, especially:

- methotrexate at doses less than 15 mg per week;

- tetracycline, products containing copper or iron, as zinc may decrease their absorption. The medicine should be taken at least 2 hours after the administration of these compounds;
- chemotherapeutic antibacterial agents from the quinolone group, including fluoroquinolones, as zinc may decrease their absorption;
- folic acid, calcium and iron compounds, as they may decrease zinc absorption;
- penicillamine and other chelating agents. There should be at least a 2-hour interval between the administration of penicillamine and zinc salts;
- thiazide diuretics, as they increase zinc excretion in the urine.
