Pascorbin vitamin C 100 x 5 ml – ampoules with injectable solution

Do you need a quick solution to restore the level of vitamin C in the body, without relying on the slow absorption of pills?

When the body goes through a period of intense stress, physical exhaustion, acute infections or is recovering from an illness, the digestive system simply cannot absorb a large enough amount of antioxidants.

Pascorbin is a German quality product (produced by the renowned Pascoe laboratory) for high-dose vitamin C therapy.

Unlike oral supplements, parenteral (intravenous) administration through Pascorbin delivers the active substance directly into the bloodstream. This means 100% efficiency, immediate action at the cellular level and maximum support exactly when the body needs it most.

Why is vitamin C so good?

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is not just a common cold vitamin, but a real fuel for cell survival. Our body cannot produce it on its own, so we are completely dependent on external sources.

Here are the main reasons why it is essential:

  • Immune system shield: stimulates the production and activity of white blood cells (leukocytes), which directly fight viruses and bacteria.
  • Elite antioxidant: neutralizes free radicals, those unstable molecules that destroy cells, accelerate aging and favor the appearance of chronic or tumor diseases.
  • Collagen plant: without vitamin C, the body cannot produce collagen – it massively helps in the rapid healing of wounds (including postoperative ones).
  • Fights chronic fatigue: participates in the synthesis of carnitine (which converts fats into energy) and helps in the absorption of iron from food, which prevents anemia and states of exhaustion.

Pascorbin – major benefits

Pascorbin is not just a simple supplement, but an infusion therapy with high doses of vitamin C officially approved in Europe.

Among the most important benefits, we list the following:

  1. 100% bioavailability and direct action
    • Unlike tablets or capsules, where a significant portion of vitamin C is eliminated by the digestive system before being absorbed, Pascorbin is injected directly into the bloodstream.
    • The entire amount of active substance becomes instantly available to the cells.
  2. Optimal support for the immune system
    • Vitamin C is an essential cofactor in the functioning of white blood cells, the cells responsible for the body’s defenses.
    • Pascorbin helps support the natural immune response during times when the body is overworked or weakened.
  3. Advanced cellular protection against oxidative stress
    • Daily stress, inflammation and an unbalanced lifestyle generate free radicals that can damage cells.
    • The ascorbic acid in Pascorbin acts as a powerful antioxidant and donates electrons to neutralize these unstable molecules.
  4. Essential role in collagen synthesis and regeneration
    • Without an adequate amount of vitamin C, the body cannot produce quality collagen.
    • Pascorbin directly supports this synthesis and contributes to maintaining the elasticity of blood vessels, healthy gums, joints and promoting natural tissue healing processes.
  5. Supports energy metabolism and reduces fatigue
    • Vitamin C actively participates in the synthesis of carnitine, which helps convert fatty acids into energy at the cellular level.
    • It also optimizes the absorption of iron in the body and helps reduce states of physical exhaustion.

Safety, quality and responsible management

Choosing a premium product like Pascorbin is an important step towards supporting your health, but safety should always come first!

Being an injectable solution with an optimal concentration of active substance, correct administration is the key to achieving the best results.

Before use, you should know the following:

  • Medical consultation is mandatory!
    • The dosage and administration rate must be determined exclusively by a doctor, based on your blood tests and medical history.
  • Administration must be done exclusively by a medical professional!
    • The solution in the ampoules is injected strictly intravenously slowly or as an addition to infusions, a procedure that must be performed only by qualified medical personnel (in clinics, offices or at home through specialized services).
  • Pay attention to contraindications!
    • High-dose vitamin C therapy may be contraindicated or requires extreme caution in people suffering from severe kidney disease (such as kidney stones) or G6PD (Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) deficiency – an inherited genetic condition in which the body does not produce enough of the G6PD enzyme, leading to premature destruction of red blood cells.

We strongly advise you to read the leaflet! There you will find important details about what it is, what it is used for, how it is administered, what are the side effects, how it should be stored and what is the content of the Pascorbin package.

Health is not just the absence of suffering, but the complete harmony of body and spirit.

We sincerely wish you to quickly regain your energy, balance and well-being! Good health!

  6. Contents of the pack and other information

1. What is Pascorbin and what is it used for?

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a water-soluble vitamin.

Pascorbin is used:

  • For the treatment of clinical conditions of vitamin C deficiency that cannot be corrected by diet or oral supplements.
  • In cases of methemoglobinemia in childhood.

2. What should you know before using Pascorbin?

The following cases describe situations in which Pascorbin can only be used under certain conditions and with special caution. Please consult your doctor about this! This also applies if you have had these conditions in the past.

Pascorbin can only be used after consulting your doctor in the case of oxalate kidney stones and certain diseases in which the body stores too much iron (thalassemia, hemochromatosis, sideroblastic anemia).

Warnings and precautions

Special note for diabetics: After parenteral administration of ascorbic acid, the blood glucose detection reaction is impaired.

Intravenous injection of large doses of P-ascorbin can lead to acute renal failure due to kidney stones, by precipitation of calcium oxalate crystals in the kidneys. This has been observed even at doses of 1.5-2.5 g. Patients with pre-existing renal insufficiency (renal failure) are particularly at risk.

An adequate fluid intake (approximately 1.5 to 2 liters per day) should be ensured.

In patients with recurrent kidney stone formation, the daily dose of vitamin C should not exceed 100 to 200 mg.

Patients with severe or end-stage renal failure (dialysis patients) should not receive more than 50 to 100 mg daily.

In patients with erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (an inherited disorder of red blood cell metabolism), severe hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells) has been observed in isolated cases with high doses of vitamin C (more than 4 g daily). Therefore, exceeding the daily dose of 100–500 mg of ascorbic acid should be avoided.

In patients with known respiratory problems (especially due to impaired respiratory function, such as in asthma, chronic bronchitis or smoker’s cough), in isolated cases, acute respiratory distress may occur during treatment with high doses (from 7.5 g) of Pascorbin. Therefore, it is recommended to start treatment with lower doses in these patients.

Pascorbin should not be mixed with drugs whose effect is reduced by chemical reduction.

Information for children
  • In children under 12 years of age, the intravenous dose of ascorbic acid should not exceed 5-7 mg/kg body weight per day when administering parenteral nutrition.
  • In the treatment of methemoglobinemia in children, the daily dose should not exceed 100 mg/kg body weight.
Information for the elderly
  • Sufficient fluid intake (approximately 1.5 to 2 liters per day) must be ensured.

Note:

  • After administration of doses of one gram, the concentration of ascorbic acid in the urine can increase so much that the measurement of various clinical-chemical parameters (glucose, uric acid, creatinine, inorganic phosphate) is disrupted and distorted.
Using Pascorbin with other medicines
  • The effects of the following groups of drugs or preparations may be influenced by simultaneous treatment with Pascorbin.
  • Pascorbin may chemically modify other drugs (due to its high redox potential); therefore, compatibility with other drugs must be checked in each individual case when administered concomitantly.
  • Ascorbic acid may affect the action of anticoagulants.
  • Concomitant administration of ascorbic acid and fluphenazine leads to a reduced plasma concentration of fluphenazine; concomitant use of ascorbic acid and acetylsalicylic acid leads to a reduced excretion of acetylsalicylic acid and an increased excretion of ascorbic acid in the urine.
  • Salicylates inhibit the absorption of ascorbic acid in leukocytes (white blood cells) and platelets (platelets).

During chemotherapy, higher doses of vitamin C should be administered at different times (1-3 days, depending on the half-life of the chemotherapy drug), as clinical data on possible interactions are lacking.

Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking/using or have recently taken/used any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.

Using Pascorbin with food and drink
  • No special precautions are required.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Pregnancy: During pregnancy, the daily intake of ascorbic acid should not exceed 100 to 500 mg.
  • Breastfeeding: During breastfeeding, the daily intake of ascorbic acid should not exceed 100 to 500 mg.
Ability to drive and operate machinery
  • No special precautions are required.
Pascorbin contains sodium

One ampoule with 5 ml solution for injection contains 4.2 mmol (97.2 mg) sodium and one vial with 50 ml solution for injection contains 42.3 mmol (972 mg) sodium.

This should be taken into consideration by patients who need to follow a low-sodium diet.

3. How should Pascorbin be used?

Always use Pascorbin exactly as described in this leaflet.

Please ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

Pascorbin is usually administered by a doctor.

Unless your doctor has prescribed otherwise, the usual dose of Pascorbin is for peripheral venous injection.

Unless otherwise prescribed, slowly inject 5 ml intravenously daily, up to 50 ml of injection solution as an additive to an infusion.

To prevent vitamin C deficiency during prolonged artificial (parenteral) nutrition, adults receive 100 to 500 mg of ascorbic acid intravenously per day (corresponding to 0.7 ml to 3.3 ml of Pascorbin).

Children receive 5 to 7 mg of ascorbic acid/kg body weight intravenously per day.

Methemoglobinemia in children: administer a single intravenous injection of 500 to 1000 mg of ascorbic acid (corresponding to 3.3 ml to 6.6 ml of P-ascorbin).

If necessary, the administration should be repeated with the same dose.

A dose of 100 mg/kg body weight per day should not be exceeded.

Method of administration

Pascorbin is injected slowly intravenously (into the veins) by your doctor or other healthcare professional.

Duration of use

Your doctor will decide the duration of use depending on the progression of the disease and hematological values.

If you use more Pascorbin than you should…
  • The use of Pascorbin should be discontinued!
  • Generally, no further measures are necessary, except in the case of hemolysis or kidney stones (see section “Warnings and precautions”).
  • If you experience pain in the kidney area or difficulty urinating after a high dose of Pascorbin, you should contact a doctor immediately!
