Citric Acid Monohydrate is indicated for the management of dry cough.

fructose is frequently derived from sugar cane, sugar beets, and corn. Crystalline fructose is the monosaccharide, dried, ground, and of high purity. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a mixture of glucose and fructose as monosaccharides. Sucrose is a compound with one molecule of glucose covalently linked to one molecule of fructose. All forms of fructose, including fruits and juices, are commonly added to foods and drinks for palatability and taste enhancement, and for browning of some foods, such as baked goods.

Lycopene is a naturally occuring red carotenoid pigment that is responsible in red to pink colors seen in tomatoes, pink grapefruit, and other foods . Having a chemical formula of C40H56, lycopene is a tetraterpene assembled from eight isoprene units that are solely composed of carbon and hydrogen. Lycophene may undergo extensive isomerization that allows 1056 theoretical cis-trans configurations; however the all-trans configuration of lycopene is the most predominant isomer found in foods that gives the red hue. Lycopene is a non-essential human nutrient that is classified as a non-provitamin A carotenoid pigment since it lacks a terminal beta ionone ring and does not mediate vitamin A activity. However lycophene is a potent antioxidant molecule that scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) singlet oxygen. Tomato lycopene extract is used as a color additive in food products.

Mecobalamin is the neurologically active form of vitamin B12 and occurs as a water-soluble vitamin in the body. It is a cofactor in the enzyme methionine synthase, which functions to transfer methyl groups for the regeneration of methionine from homocysteine. In anaemia, it increases erythrocyte production by promoting nucleic acid synthesis in the bone marrow and by promoting maturation and division of erythrocytes.

Zinc is an essential trace mineral, which means that it must be obtained from the diet since the body cannot make enough. Next to iron, zinc is the most abundant trace mineral in the body. Stored primarily in muscle, zinc is also found in high concentrations in red and white blood cells, the retina of the eye, bones, skin, kidneys, liver, and pancreas. Some of the symptoms of zinc deficiency include loss of appetite, poor growth, weight loss, impaired taste or smell, poor wound healing, skin abnormalities (such as acne, atopic dermatitis and psoriasis), hair loss, night blindness, hypogonadism and delayed sexual maturation, white spots on the fingernails and feelings of depression.

Citric Acid Monohydrate contains the active ingredient Citric Acid Monohydrate which helps to reduce the dry cough and soothes the throat from any related discomfort and pain. Citric Acid is a demulcent which relieves irritation of the mucous membrane in the throat by forming a protective film. Citric Acid is absorbed after oral administration. It is found naturally in the body and is widely distributed.

Fructose is used intravenously as a carbohydrate nutrient. It is converted to liver glycogen and metabolized more rapidly than dextrose without requiring insulin and thus may be used in diabetic patients. Fructose is used for patients requiring fluid replacement and caloric feeding. It is better "nitrogen sparer" than glucose.

Lycopene is an ingredient found in a variety of supplements and vitamins.

Mecobalamin is used for-

Peripheral Neuropathies
Diabetic Neuropathy
Verteberal Syndrome
Nerve Compression Syndrome
Multiple sclerosis

Precaution

Patients with rare hereditary problems of fructose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption or sucrase-isomaltase insufficiency should not take this medicine.

Fructose should not be given to patients with hereditary fructose intolerance. It should be given with caution to patients with impaired kidney function or severe liver damage.

Infusion of fluid should be immediately discontinued if rigor arises for any reason during the process. Do not use if the solution is cloudy, contains particles, or after expiry date.

The medicine should not be used for months if there is no response at all after its use for a certain period of time.

Concurrent administration of Zinc salt with penicillamine might diminish the effect of Penicillamine. The absorption of Zinc, although poor, may be decreased by various compounds including some foods. Chelation may occur with tetracyclines.

Interaction
