QTINE TABLET

QTINE TABLET belongs to the class of 'Nutritional supplements’ primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies due to various complications or long-term diseases. It is used to improve and prevent heart attack symptoms, hypertension (high blood pressure), congestive heart failure, muscular dystrophy, macular degeneration (age-related vision loss), migraine headache, fertility problems, and slowing the progression of Parkinson's disease.

QTINE TABLET contains Ubiquinone (CoQ10) and Levocarnitine. Ubiquinone is an antioxidant that protects the body from damage by chemicals (free radicals). Levocarnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that helps your body turn fat into energy. It works by improving the low levels of carnitine in the body. A QTINE TABLET is used to treat ubiquinone and carnitine deficiencies and liver, heart, and muscle problems.

Take QTINE TABLET as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take QTINE TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea and vomiting, abdominal cramps, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects of QTINE TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you are using prescription, non-prescription drugs, and herbal products before starting QTINE TABLET. If you are known to be allergic to QTINE TABLET or its inactive components, please inform your doctor. Please tell your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food) so that a doctor may change the dosage form. If you are a pregnant or breastfeeding mother, please consult your doctor before taking QTINE TABLET. QTINE TABLET is safe to use in children, yet the doctor's consultation is advised. If you have a history of seizures (fits), liver disease, kidney disease, diabetes, or heart problems, please inform your doctor before using QTINE TABLET.

QTINE TABLET consists of nutritional supplements, namely, Ubiquinone (CoQ10) and Levocarnitine, used to treat nutritional deficiencies and used in liver, heart, and muscle problems. Ubiquinone is a naturally occurring quinone in most aerobic organisms, from bacteria to mammals. CoQ10 is an antioxidant that protects the body from damage by chemicals (free radicals). Levocarnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that helps your body turn fat into energy. It works by improving the low levels of carnitine in the body. Collectively, QTINE TABLET improves symptoms and increases exercise ability in people with heart problems. QTINE TABLET improves symptoms such as rapid or pounding heartbeat, nervousness, and weakness in people with high thyroid hormone levels. It is also used for weight loss and may have an impact on brain function. QTINE TABLET increases sperm count and sperm movement in men with fertility problems. It is also used to prevent and treat carnitine deficiency in end-stage renal disease patients undergoing dialysis.

Carnitine deficiency: It occurs when not enough of the nutrient 'carnitine' is available to the body. This can cause muscle weakness and heart or liver problems. Carnitine is obtained from foods, particularly animal-based foods. A carnitine deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough amount of carnitine from food. It is essential for a healthy life. Sometimes your body is unable to absorb carnitine even if you are consuming it. Carnitine deficiency can lead to many health problems like encephalopathy (severe brain dysfunction), myopathy (muscle disease), hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) if the liver is affected, cardiomyopathy (heart problem), or swelling (oedema). Carnitine deficiency symptoms are weakness in the hips, shoulders, upper arms, and legs, heart muscles, tiredness (fatigue), irritability, delayed movement (motor) development, and poor feeding in a baby.

Ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10) deficiency: It is a disorder when your body doesn't have adequate levels of an enzyme called coenzyme Q10. This can affect many parts of the body, especially the brain, muscles, and kidneys. CoQ10 is present in every cell of the body and provides energy to the body. However, the highest concentrations are found in organs with the greatest energy demands, such as the heart, kidneys, lungs, and liver. Your body produces CoQ10 naturally, but its production tends to decrease with age. You can also get CoQ10 through supplements or foods. Other causes of CoQ10 deficiency include nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin B6 deficiency, genetic defects in CoQ10 synthesis or utilization, increased demands by tissues as a consequence of disease, mitochondrial diseases, and side effects of statin treatments. Ubiquinone deficiency symptoms include physical fatigue and muscle weakness, even while undertaking relatively non-strenuous physical activities such as walking.
