1. What is Vitaminum E Medana and what is it used for

The active substance of the medicine - vitamin E is a factor necessary for the proper functioning of the body, which protects against the harmful effects of excessive amounts of compounds with strong oxidizing properties and prevents hemolysis of red blood cells. Protection against damage by free radicals 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 enzymatic systems (a necessary component in certain metabolic processes).

Indications for use

Treatment of vitamin E deficiency caused by prolonged improper nutrition and metabolic disorders. Supportively in atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and its secondary prevention, as well as in all diseases whose etiology is associated with oxidative stress.

2. Important information before using Vitaminum E Medana

When not to use Vitaminum E Medana:

  • if the patient is allergic to vitamin E or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6),
  • if there is a deficiency of vitamin K (possibility of bleeding).

Warnings and precautions

Before starting to use Vitaminum E Medana, discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist.

Particular caution should be exercised when using Vitaminum E Medanaat the same time as:

  • oral anticoagulant medications (e.g., dicumarol, warfarin),
  • estrogens (e.g., oral contraceptives),
  • vitamin K.

Vitaminum E Medana and other medicines

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

Vitamin E may act antagonistically to vitamin K, especially in people taking oral anticoagulant medications or estrogens (e.g., oral contraceptives).

Using other agents with antioxidant properties (vitamin C, selenium, ubiquinone, sulfur-containing amino acids) may alleviate some symptoms of vitamin E deficiency.

Taking iron compounds simultaneously weakens the effect of vitamin E, so a few hours' interval should be maintained between taking these medicines.

Vitamin E increases the absorption, utilization, and storage of vitamin A.

Cholestyramine and colestipol (cholesterol-lowering medications) reduce the absorption of vitamin E from the gastrointestinal tract.

Orlistat (a fat absorption inhibitor) and mineral oils may disrupt the absorption of vitamin E from the gastrointestinal tract.

Vitaminum E Medana with food and drink

The medicine should be taken during or after a meal (see section 3 below).
