This brand name is authorized in Nigeria.
The drug ZEVIT LIQUI-TAB contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
1
|
UNII
8K0I04919X - THIAMINE MONONITRATE
|
Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), the coenzymatic form of thiamine, is involved in two main types of metabolic reactions: decarboxylation of α-ketoacids (e.g. pyruvate, α-ketoglutarate and branched-chain keto acids) and transketolation (e.g. among hexose and pentose phosphates). Therefore, the principal physiological role of thiamine is as a coenzyme in carbohydrate metabolism, where TPP is required for several stages in the breakdown of glucose to provide energy. |

UNII
TLM2976OFR - RIBOFLAVIN
|
Riboflavine is phosphorylated to flavine mononucleotide and flavine adenine dinucleotide which act as co-enzymes in the respiratory chain and in oxidative phosphorylation. Riboflavine deficiency presents with ocular symptoms, as well as lesions on the lips and at angles of the mouth. |

|
UNII
68Y4CF58BV - PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE
|
Pyridoxine hydrochloride is Vitamin B6. It is converted to pyridoxal phosphate which is the co-enzyme for a variety of metabolic transformations. It is essential for human nutrition. |
|
4
|
UNII
1C6V77QF41 - CHOLECALCIFEROL
|
In its biologically active form vitamin D3 stimulates intestinal calcium absorption, incorporation of calcium into the osteoid, and release of calcium from bone tissue. In the small intestine it promotes rapid and delayed calcium uptake. The passive and active transport of phosphate is also stimulated. |
|
5
|
UNII
P6YC3EG204 - CYANOCOBALAMIN
|
Hydroxocobalamin is used in the treatment and prevention of Vitamin B12 deficiency. For adults, the daily requirement of Vitamin B12 is probably about 1 to 2 micrograms and this amount is present in most normal diets. However, Vitamin B12 only occurs in animal products, not in vegetables, and therefore strict vegetarian or vegan diets that exclude dairy products may provide an inadequate amount, although a deficiency may not be apparent for many years. |

|
UNII
6SO6U10H04 - BIOTIN
|
Biotin is a co-enzyme for carboxylation during the metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates. |
|

UNII
1K573LC5TV - POTASSIUM SULFATE
|
8
|
Selenium dioxide
UNII
9N3UK29E57 - SELENIUM DIOXIDE

UNII
L11K75P92J - ANHYDROUS DIBASIC CALCIUM PHOSPHATE
|
Calcium plays a vital role in the anatomy, physiology and biochemistry of organisms and of the cell, particularly in signal transduction pathways. The skeleton acts as a major mineral storage site for the element and releases Ca2+ ions into the bloodstream under controlled conditions. Circulating calcium is either in the free, ionized form or bound to blood proteins such as serum albumin. Although calcium flow to and from the bone is neutral, about 5 mmol is turned over a day. Bone serves as an important storage point for calcium, as it contains 99% of the total body calcium. |

|
UNII
ML30MJ2U7I - MAGNESIUM SULFATE ANHYDROUS
|
Magnesium sulfate is a saline purgative. It can be employed locally in various inflammatory conditions, due to its osmotic action. |
|
12
|
UNII
568ET80C3D - CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE
|
Pantothenic acid is incorporated into co-enzyme A and is involved in metabolic pathways involving acetylation which includes detoxification of drug molecules and biosynthesis of cholesterol, steroid hormones, mucopolysaccharides and acetylcholine. CoA has an essential function in lipid metabolism. |
|

UNII
CUQ3A77YXI - ASIAN GINSENG
|
The standardised ginseng extract G115 raises the general level of cellular activity, which is expressed by a pronounced increase in the physical and mental capacity. |
