Poten-Cee + ZNC Adverse Reactions

Vitamin C: Vitamin C toxicity is very rare, because the body cannot store the vitamin and immediately excretes it in urine. However, if patient takes amounts greater than 2,000 mg/day the patient may experience stomach upset and diarrhea. The daily use of high doses may lead to the formation of oxalate stones in the kidneys. Patient may also experience disturbed water and electrolyte balance in the body, increased hemolysis (breaking-up of red blood cells), increased calcium in the kidneys and suppression of cobalamine (Vitamin B12) activity. If a patient has a condition called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, taking too much Vitamin C can cause hemolysis which may cause the patient to feel tired, or dizzy, or even cause a patient to be anemic. In some rare cases, patient may experience painful urination or pink/bloody urine. If any of these effects persist, tell the doctor immediately.
Zinc: Gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea and vomiting are seen with doses of elemental Zinc greater than 40 mg.
Use in Pregnancy: See USE IN PREGNANCY & LACTATION section for further information.
