Clinical Pharmacology
Ascorbic acid has pronounced reducing properties, is involved in the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism, redox processes, blood clotting, normalization of capillary permeability, tissue regeneration, the synthesis of steroid hormones, collagen, procollagen.
Indications
Used for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes in all clinical situations related to the need for additional administration of vitamin C. It is prescribed for the prevention and treatment of scurvy, for bleeding (nose, lung, uterine, caused by radiation sickness), hemorrhagic diathesis, for various intoxications and infectious diseases , nephropathies of pregnant women, Addison's disease, in case of overdose of anticoagulants, bone fractures and slow-healing wounds, various dystrophies, with increased mental stress and increased physical skom work.

Dosage and Administration
For prophylactic purposes for adults - 0.05-0.1 g per day; during pregnancy, in the postpartum period and in the case of a low content of vitamin C in the milk of lactating women — 0.3 g per day for 10–15 days, and then prophylactically at 0.1 g per day during the entire lactation period. Children in order to prevent - 0.025 g 2-3 times a day. Therapeutic doses for adults - 0.05-0.1 g 3-5 times a day. Children - at 0.05-0.1 g 2-3 times a day.
Adverse reactions
From the side of the central nervous system: with rapid intravenous administration - dizziness, feeling tired, with prolonged use of large doses (more than 1 g) - headache, increased excitability of the central nervous system, insomnia.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity, with prolonged use in large doses (more than 500 mg) - diabetes, hyperoxaluria, nephrolithiasis, hemochromatosis, thalassemia, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.
Drug interactions
Pharmaceutically incompatible with aminophylline, bleomycin, cefazolin, cefapirin, chlordiazepoxide, estrogens, dextrans, doxapram, erythromycin, methicillin, nafcillin, benzylpenicillin, warfarin.
Pregnancy and Lactation
The minimum daily need for ascorbic acid in the II-III trimesters of pregnancy is about 60 mg.
The minimum daily need during the lactation period is 80 mg. A mother's diet that contains an adequate amount of ascorbic acid is sufficient to prevent vitamin C deficiency in an infant (it is recommended not to exceed the maximum daily ascorbic acid need by a nursing mother)
Special instructions
In connection with the stimulating effect of ascorbic acid on the synthesis of corticosteroid hormones, it is necessary to monitor the function of the adrenal glands and blood pressure. High doses of ascorbic acid increase the excretion of oxalate, contributing to the formation of kidney stones. In newborns whose mothers took high doses of ascorbic acid, and in adults who took high doses, a ricochet of scurvy could be observed. With long-term use of large doses, the function of the insular apparatus of the pancreas may be inhibited, therefore during treatment it must be regularly monitored. In patients with a high content of iron in the body, ascorbic acid should be used in minimal doses. Ascorbic acid, as a reducing agent, can distort the results of various laboratory tests (blood and urine glucose, bilirubin, liver transaminases and lactate dehydrogenase activity).
Overdosage
Symptoms: If taken more than 1 g / day, heartburn, diarrhea, difficulty urinating or dyeing urine red, hemolysis are possible. (in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency).
Treatment: symptomatic, forced diuresis.
