Interaction with other medicines

At simultaneous use ascorbic acid strengthens absorption of iron, penicillin, ethinylestradiol from digestive tract. The similar effect concerns also aluminum therefore it needs to be considered at simultaneous treatment by the antacids containing aluminum.

Ascorbic acid at simultaneous use reduces efficiency of heparin, anticoagulants.

Absorption of ascorbic acid decreases at simultaneous use of oral contraceptive means, the use of fruit or vegetable juice, alkaline drink. The concomitant use of vitamin C and Deferoxaminum increases fabric toxicity of iron,

Vitamin C strengthens discharge of oxalates with urine, increasing risk of forming in urine of oxalic stones. Vitamin C increases risk of a crystalluria at treatment by salicylate.

• allergic reactions: sometimes – eczema, urticaria, an itching, skin rash, a Quincke's disease, an acute anaphylaxis in the presence of a sensitization;
• from an endocrine system: damage of the insulyarny device of a pancreas (hyperglycemia, a glucosuria) and disturbance of synthesis of a glycogen up to appearance of diabetes;
• from a cardiovascular system: arterial hypertension, myocardium dystrophy.
