Carolyn: a drug based on betacarotene

Carolin is a medicinal product produced in Russia, which belongs to the group of carotenes, analogues of vitamin A. The active substance in the drug is beta-carotene (beta-carotene), which is a natural red carotenoid found in plant products. Betacarotene is a pro-vitamin of vitamin A, from which the body produces retinol, which is necessary for vision.

Carolin is available in the form of a 0.1% solution and is used for impaired night vision, slow-healing wounds, psoriasis, immunodeficiency conditions, as well as during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as hypovitaminosis A.

In addition, Carolyn can cause side effects associated with hypervitaminosis A, such as headache, dizziness, weakness, anxiety, double vision, dyspeptic disorders, skin rashes, dry lips, pain in bones and joints, anorexia, ulceration of the skin and mucous membranes shells. In addition, the drug is not recommended for hypersensitivity to its components, hypervitaminosis A, alcoholism, liver cirrhosis, viral hepatitis and impaired renal function.

Caroline interacts with certain medications, such as calcium supplements, cholestyramine, mineral oils, neomycin and vitamin E, which may reduce the absorption of betacarotene.

Although there is no information on an overdose of Carolina, it is not recommended to exceed the dose indicated in the instructions, as this may increase the risk of side effects.

Thus, Caroline is a betacarotene-based drug that is recommended for use in certain conditions associated with insufficient levels of vitamin A in the body. However, like any other drug, it can cause side effects and has its own contraindications and limitations in use. Before using Carolina, you should consult your doctor and strictly follow the instructions for use.
