1. What is Vitaminum E Hasco and what is it used for
Vitamin E is one of the essential nutrients, but its role is not yet fully understood. Together with catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and selenium, it is part of the system that protects cells from the effects of oxygen free radicals. It protects polyunsaturated fatty acids in membranes and other cell structures, stabilizes cell membranes and cell organelles, and prevents hemolysis of red blood cells.
Protection against oxidative damage appears to be important in the development and functioning of the nervous and muscular systems.
Vitamin E may also act as a cofactor in certain enzyme systems. It participates in glucose oxidation and glycogenolysis. It is involved in lipid metabolism: prostaglandins and cholesterol.
Epidemiological studies indicate a link between daily vitamin E intake and the risk of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, and other diseases whose pathogenesis is associated with oxidative stress. Vitamin E reduces the aggregatory activity of platelets.
The medicine is used to treat and prevent vitamin E deficiency caused by prolonged improper nutrition and metabolic disorders (e.g., hereditary lipid metabolism disorders: abetalipoproteinemia, malabsorption syndrome, cystic fibrosis).
It supports the treatment of myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease, and its secondary prevention, as well as all diseases whose etiology is associated with oxidative stress.
2. Important information before using Vitaminum E Hasco
When not to use Vitaminum E Hasco

Warnings and precautions

Vitaminum E Hasco and other medicines
The patient should inform their doctor or pharmacist about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take.
Vitamin E may act antagonistically to vitamin K, especially in patients treated with oral anticoagulant drugs or estrogens. The use of other agents with antioxidant effects (vitamin C, selenium, ubiquinone, sulfur-containing amino acids) may alleviate some symptoms of vitamin E deficiency. The simultaneous use of iron preparations weakens the effect of vitamin E, so a few hours' interval should be maintained between taking these medicines.
Vitamin E may reduce the need for insulin and digitalis glycosides and increase the absorption, utilization, and storage of vitamin A.
