Instruction manual
"Maxamine Forte" is prescribed to eliminate hypo - and vitamin deficiency. A similar condition can occur against a background of malnutrition and unbalanced nutrition, as well as with increased mental and physical stress. In addition, the drug is often included in rehabilitation therapy after diseases or after surgery.
In the early stages of pregnancy, the drug is not prescribed, due to the teratogenic effect on the developing fetus of retinol, which is part of Maxamine Forte. In the future, the use of the drug during gestation is prescribed with caution and is carried out under medical supervision.
Other contraindications for taking multivitamins are:
- Intolerance to the components of the drug.
- Kidney failure.
- Hypervitaminosis A or D type.

- Age under 12 years.
"Maxamine Forte" is prescribed one tablet per day. The duration of treatment is determined by the attending physician.
Adverse Reactions and Drug Interactions
Experts do not recommend taking the drug and other multivitamin complexes at the same time, as this can cause an overdose. While taking multivitamins, urine can turn yellow, which is harmless and is due to the presence of riboflavin in the composition.
With the simultaneous administration of Maxamine Forte and estrogen-based contraceptives, the effect of retinol is enhanced.
Against the background of a combination of multivitamins and tetracyclines, the absorption of retinol by the intestine increases, as does its concentration in the tissues of the liver and other organs.
An allergic reaction in the form of urticaria and itching can be a side reaction to taking the drug. Instructions for use with "Maxamine Forte" confirms this.
Analogues of the drug
There are a number of multivitamin complexes that can replace the drug. The most popular are:
- "Duovit." This is an inexpensive analogue, which is produced in the form of a dragee of 40 pieces in one package. The composition of the drug is not as extensive as that of Maxamin Forte, however, with minor violations, Duovit copes well with its tasks.
- Complivit-Asset. It is produced in Russia in packs of 30 or 60 tablets. You can prescribe to children over the age of 7 years. Indications and effectiveness are almost identical with Maxamine Forte.
- "Multimax". The multivitamin complex comes from the USA. The composition is closest to "Maxamine Forte." The composition of one tablet immediately includes 28 active ingredients. Purpose and use are also identical in both complexes.
