Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Ascorbic Acid 750 mg Slow Release Capsules are a specially formulated treatment designed to address a range of health conditions such as scurvy, vitamin C deficiency, chronic fatigue syndrome, iron deficiency anemia, and atherosclerosis. This formulation utilizes Ascorbic acid, a water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in the production of collagen, a protein that aids in the formation of connective tissue and is vital for wound healing. Ascorbic acid also contributes to the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, and assists in maintaining healthy skin, bones, and teeth.

The capsules are formulated with Methocel E4M, a type of controlled-release polymer. This design allows for the gradual release of the encapsulated medication or active ingredient over an extended period of time. This slow-release mechanism offers sustained therapeutic effects, reduces the frequency of dosing, and improves patient compliance, particularly for medications that require a controlled and prolonged release profile.

For conditions such as scurvy, which is caused by a severe deficiency of vitamin C, Ascorbic Acid 750 mg Slow Release Capsules can help replenish vitamin C levels and alleviate symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, and bleeding gums. Similarly, for vitamin C deficiency, which can lead to fatigue, poor wound healing, and anemia, this formulation can help restore vitamin C levels and reduce symptoms.

This formulation can help reduce fatigue and improve concentration. For iron deficiency anemia, a condition caused by a lack of iron in the body, Ascorbic Acid 750 mg Slow Release Capsules can help replenish iron levels and alleviate symptoms such as fatigue, pale skin, and shortness of breath.

Lastly, Ascorbic Acid 750 mg Slow Release Capsules are used to treat atherosclerosis, a condition caused by the buildup of plaque in the arteries. This formulation can help reduce plaque buildup and improve blood flow, contributing to overall cardiovascular health.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Ascorbic acid, also recognized as vitamin C, is a vital nutrient that aids the body in the production of collagen, a protein crucial for maintaining healthy skin, bones, and blood vessels. Additionally, it facilitates the body's absorption of iron, a key element for the production of healthy red blood cells.

These capsules are formulated with Methocel E4M, a type of controlled-release polymer. This innovative design allows for the gradual release of the encapsulated ascorbic acid over an extended period, offering sustained therapeutic effects. This slow release mechanism ensures a steady and consistent level of vitamin C in the body, reducing the need for frequent dosing and enhancing patient compliance, particularly for medications requiring a controlled and prolonged release profile.

For the treatment of scurvy, vitamin C deficiency, and chronic fatigue syndrome, the recommended dosage is one capsule taken twice daily. For addressing iron deficiency anemia and atherosclerosis, it is advised to take one capsule three times daily. To ensure optimal absorption, it is important to take these capsules with food.

Ascorbic Acid 750 mg Slow Release Capsules are generally well tolerated. However, some individuals may experience mild side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, or stomach upset. If you encounter any of these side effects, it is recommended to consult your healthcare provider immediately.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
