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.

Warnings and precautions

Particular caution should be exercised when taking Vitaminum E Medanain people who are also taking:

  • estrogens (e.g., oral contraceptives),
  • vitamin K.

Vitaminum E Medana and other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all the medicines you are taking, or have recently taken, as well as any medicines you plan to take.
Vitamin E may act antagonistically to vitamin K, especially in people taking oral anticoagulant medicines or estrogens (e.g., oral contraceptives).
Taking other agents with antioxidant effects (vitamin C, selenium, ubiquinone, sulfur-containing amino acids) may alleviate some symptoms of vitamin E deficiency.
Concomitant use of iron compounds 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.
