Determining the interaction of Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) Solution, Liquid, and Syrup and Propranolol Injection and the possibility of their joint administration.
In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.
Consumer:Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.
Professional:Limited data suggest that ascorbic acid may decrease the oral bioavailability of propranolol by possibly interfering with its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. In 5 healthy subjects, pretreatment with a 2 gram dose of ascorbic acid 30 minutes before an 80 mg dose of propranolol decreased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and 24-hour area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of propranolol by 28% and 37%, respectively, compared to when propranolol was administered alone. The time to reach maximum propranolol concentration (Tmax) was increased from 1.9 to 2.7 hours, and the total amount of drug (including metabolites) recovered in urine was significantly diminished. Although the heart rate decreased less during coadministration with ascorbic acid, the clinical significance is considered minor.
