✔️ Uses of Evitacap 400IU

Treatment of Vitamin E deficiency

✔️ Pharmacology

Vitamin E functions as an antioxidant in the body, protecting polyunsaturated fatty acids (components of cellular membranes) and other oxygen-sensitive substances like vitamins A and C from oxidation. In premature neonates, a deficiency in vitamin E can cause irritability, edema, thrombosis, and hemolytic anemia. Adults and children with low serum tocopherol concentrations may experience creatinuria, ceroid deposition, muscle weakness, decreased erythrocyte survival, or increased in vitro hemolysis by oxidizing agents.
