The composition of Undevita, doctors' reviews and analogues
Currently, pharmacies that sell a variety of medications, are ready to offer customers modern multivitamin formulations from a number of manufacturers, known and not so. And many consumers, according to the recommendations of doctors, and even without them, take vitamins for preventive purposes. However, a fairly large percentage of the population prefers drugs known since childhood. This is exactly what Undevit means means, the indications for its application are quite extensive.
Who is recommended?
Although in modern society there is an opinion that vitamins are not medicines, because you can take them when you want, it's completely wrong. "Undevit", as, indeed, any other multivitamin preparations, should be taken only if there are certain indications. This complex was designed specifically for middle-aged and older people. That is why its composition includes organic substances, whose presence in the body improves and speeds up metabolic processes.
The composition of Undevite is well balanced, so doctors recommend taking the drug for any manifestations of hypovitaminosis. In addition, the drug will be very useful if a person needs to recover after the end of antibacterial treatment or surgery, injury. Relief of the condition with exacerbation of chronic diseases also falls within the scope of the drug.
Who should be careful ...

Basic rules of use
All medications should be administered according to certain rules. "Undevit" is not an exception. Instructions for use (the composition was discussed above) recommends taking it after eating one dragee, without chewing and not washing down with water. If the drug is prescribed for preventive purposes, then one dragee per day is enough. If it comes to the recovery period, it is permissible to take 2-3 pieces. The effect of the drug in this case will be more effective if you do not take all the pills at a time, and during the day one by one. The course is usually one month. After 2-3 months it can be repeated.
If there are serious disorders, hypovitaminosis, then adults are advised to take 2 pieces 3 times during the day. Older people are prescribed one pills twice a day.

The same effect can be and in case of long reception of a preparation. If, for some reason, the permissible dose has been exceeded, there may be abnormalities in the functioning of the liver and in digestion processes (abdominal pain, diarrhea).

Vitamins A, C and E provide a good antioxidant effect. Also, the drug maintains the necessary homeostasis. Toning and adaptogenic effects, the normalization of metabolic processes and the work of the endocrine system are the incomplete list of spheres of influence of Undevite.
Existing analogues
Today in pharmacies you can find a lot of vitamin preparations with a broader composition and at a higher price. However, if you carefully approach the question, you can see that often more highly advertised and expensive drugs differ from the old good "Undevita" 1-2 components. And sometimes this can not be: the price is higher, and the composition is the same. Analogues that are fairly similar in composition are Vitalipid, VitrumByuti and Aerovit, Retinol, Duovit, Aevit. An acceptable replacement for Undevit could be Decemevit, Ribovital, Gitagamp and Doppelherz.
Opinion of buyers and specialists
Multivitamin preparations from different manufacturers are in high demand among the population. "Undevit" is not an exception. Composition, reviews about it are widely discussed on the pages of newspapers, magazines, social networks. A fairly large percentage of people who take it say that the drug has the same beneficial effect on them as the more expensive and modern complexes.
If you listen to experts, then the opinion of some may be somewhat different. Some say that the composition of Undevit is not balanced enough, that at a one-time reception the components do not mix well with each other, they are not fully digested.
According to others, synthetic vitamins (and "Undevit" refers to this group) can not be useful to the body at all. This considerable part of doctors and scientists advise to give preference to natural products rich with this or that substance.
Still others convince everyone that modern technologies and high-tech equipment make it possible to develop and offer consumers new products that are more sophisticated and easily digestible.
