Chewable Orange C Oral
Generic Name: ASCORBIC ACID - ORAL
Pronounced: (ask-OR-bick acid)
Chewable Orange C Oral Uses
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) may be used to prevent low body levels
(deficiency) of this vitamin. Ascorbic acid is needed to maintain
the health of skin, cartilage, teeth, and blood vessels, and to
promote proper bone growth. Most people who eat a normal diet do
not need extra ascorbic acid.
Vitamin C deficiency may occur in certain health conditions
(e.g., poor nutrition, diet lacking citrus fruit/vegetables,
alcoholism). Serious ascorbic acid deficiency may cause a condition
called scurvy, resulting in bleeding problems, tooth loss, and
heart problems, among others.
Ascorbic acid is also used to help preserve the health of body
cells (as an antioxidant).
How To Use Chewable Orange C Oral
Take this vitamin by mouth, usually 1 to 2 times daily. If this
vitamin is prescribed by your doctor, take exactly as directed.
Take each dose with a full glass (8 ounces or 240 milliliters) of
water. Do not lie down for at least 30 minutes after taking a dose.
If you are taking the chewable tablets or wafers, chew them
thoroughly. If you are taking the delayed-release capsules or
tablets, swallow them whole. Do not crush or chew them. If you are
taking the lozenges, place the lozenge in your mouth and allow it
to slowly dissolve. If you are taking the powder, mix it thoroughly
in the proper amount of liquid and stir well. Drink all of the
liquid immediately. Do not prepare a supply for future use. If you
are using a liquid or powder form, carefully measure your dose
using a medication-measuring device or spoon. Do not use a
household spoon because you may not get the correct dose.
Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to
treatment.
Use this vitamin regularly to get the most benefit from it. To
help you remember, take it at the same time(s) each day.
If your doctor has prescribed this product to treat a specific
problem, tell him/her if your condition persists or worsens.
