Vitamin C is recommended for the prevention and treatment of scurvy. Its parenteral administration is desirable for patients with an acute deficiency or for those whose absorption of orally ingested ascorbic acid (vitamin c) is uncertain.
Symptoms of mild deficiency may include faulty bone and tooth development, gingivitis, bleeding gums, and loosened teeth. Febrile states, chronic illness, and infection (pneumonia, whooping cough, tuberculosis, diphtheria, sinusitis, rheumatic fever, etc.) increase the need for ascorbic acid (vitamin c) .
Hemovascular disorders, burns, delayed fracture and wound healing are indications for an increase in the daily intake.
Common side effects of ascorbic acid include transient mild soreness at the site of intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. Too-rapid intravenous administration of the solution may cause temporary faintness or dizziness. Other side effects of ascorbic acid include:
* nausea,
* vomiting,
* heartburn,
* stomach cramps, and
* headache.
