Revalid – general characteristics of the drug

Revalid – when should it be used?
The main indication for taking Revalid is deficiency of sulfur amino acids and vitamins due to poor diet, stress or illness. The preparation should be taken primarily with diagnosed nail and hair diseases.
Revalid – drug dosage
Revalid should be dosed according to the instructions on the leaflet or according to the doctor’s instructions. Adults and children over 12 years of age can take 1 capsule 3 times a day during or after a meal. The drug should be washed down with plenty of liquid. The treatment should last for at least 3 months, even in the case of noticeable improvement in the condition of hair and nails after the first month of use.
For serious hair and nail diseases, the starting dose should be 2 capsules 3 times a day for 1 month, and then 1 capsule 3 times a day.
Because there is not enough information to treat children under 12 years of age, Revalid should not be given to them.
Revalid – contraindications to use
The main contraindication to taking Revalid is hypersensitivity to any of the active or excipients contained in the composition. As also mentioned, the lack of clinical trials precludes the administration of Revalid to children under 12 years of age.
Revalid – warnings
Warnings regarding the use of Revalid relate primarily to not exceeding the recommended daily dose of the preparation. In addition, people with diabetes should be careful, because 1 capsule corresponds to 0,035 carbohydrate units. However, patients with celiac disease should be careful, because 1 capsule contains 1 mg of gluten.
Revalid – drug interactions
Revalid may interact with other medications. The p-aminobenzoic acid contained in the preparation weakens the action of antibacterial preparations from the sulfonamides group. It should also be remembered that if you are taking any medications (including over-the-counter medications), you should inform your doctor about them.
Revalid – side effects
Taking Revalid may be associated with side effects.
Sometimes there are side effects such as nausea or slight discomfort from the digestive system – mainly when using the preparation on an empty stomach. In case of ingestion of a dose of 6 capsules, digestive system disorders, e.g. diarrhea, may occur. Then it is recommended to reduce the dose to 3 capsules a day.
Revalid has no effect on the ability to drive vehicles or operate machinery / equipment.
Revalid – can it be taken during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
There have been insufficient clinical studies to show the effects of Revalid on fertility, pregnancy and lactation. Therefore, if a woman is pregnant, the benefits of taking the drug should be carefully weighed against the potential risks.
How should Revalid be stored?
Revalid should be kept out of the reach of children. It is best to keep the drug in a room with a temperature not exceeding 25 degrees C. You should also remember not to take the drug after the expiry date. However, it must not be thrown into the sewage system, but taken to the nearest pharmacy.
Revalid – price and availability
Revalid can be purchased at a stationary pharmacy or via the website. The price of a package containing 90 hard capsules is approximately PLN 60.
