Name
TONOGEN VITAMIN
“Oral solution”
What is it and what is it for?
Tonogen Vitaminico is a complex of vitamins (nicotinamide, riboflavin-5'-phosphate sodium salt, thiamine hydrochloride, cyanocobalamin) that are essential for the body's metabolic activities. This medicine also contains calcium folinate hydrate, which provides the body with folic acid, a vitamin needed to treat all folate deficiency syndromes, which primarily manifest as anemia.
This medicine is indicated for the treatment of:
- vitamin deficiencies (hypodysvitaminosis) which usually occur during therapy with drugs used to treat infections (antibiotics, chemotherapy) and tumors (antitumor drugs);
- reduction in the number of red blood cells in the blood (anaemic syndromes secondary to vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency) also during pregnancy, in the period following childbirth (puerperium) and during breastfeeding (see the paragraph “pregnancy and breastfeeding”);
- reduction in the number of red blood cells in the blood (anaemic conditions) in children and adolescents, especially if accompanied by loss of appetite (anorexia) and failure to thrive.
Tonogen Vitaminico is also indicated as an adjuvant in the treatment of infectious states (toxic-infectious states), liver problems (aftermath of hepatitis, liver function deficit) and during the period following surgery, an illness or trauma (convalescence).
Talk to your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after a few days.
