A QTINE TABLET is used to treat ubiquinone and carnitine deficiencies and liver, heart, and muscle problems.

Disease/Condition Glossary

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.
