Surbex Z Uses

Surbex-Z is a high-potency multivitamin supplement used to treat various vitamin deficiencies.

Vitamins are micronutrients required by the body in small quantities. They are mostly taken orally, as the body produces very little or none at all. While a well-balanced and healthy diet can provide sufficient vitamins, not everyone can afford such a diet.

Moreover, at times, deficiency cannot be countered by food alone. In old age especially, when people have limited diet and dietary options, they need supplements to fulfill their body's vital vitamins and minerals requirement.

Surbex Z Uses For Male

Surbex Z is highly beneficial for males and is used in the following ways:

  • To treat and prevent vitamin deficiency: Featuring a comprehensive range of vitamins and minerals such as vitamins B, C, E, and Zinc, Surbex Z helps address vitamin deficiency in men.
  • To provide energy and strength: Surbex Z provides adequate multivitamin supplementation to fulfill the body's natural requirements. It can, therefore, positively influence energy levels in males. It contains vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which is known to support energy production.
  • To reduce fatigue: Surbex Z contains essential vitamins, such as vitamin B12, that reduce tiredness and lethargy. A vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to fatigue and several other symptoms, such as weakness, pale skin, and loss of appetite. Multivitamins such as Surbex Z can help prevent this.

Surbex Z Uses For Female

Here are the uses of Surbex Z for women:

  • Fulfills vitamin requirements in pregnancy: During pregnancy, a woman's nutritional requirements increase, and hence, multivitamin supplements are often recommended to promote the health of the mother and the baby. Surbex Z contains a multitude of vitamins, calcium, and folic acid that are all essential for pregnant women. They can help ensure normal fetal development and a healthy pregnancy. Just make sure to consult your doctor before taking any multivitamins if you are pregnant, and do not exceed the prescribed dosage.
  • Supports bone health: Surbex Z contains calcium that promotes female bone health. Dairy products such as milk, leafy greens, and seeds are excellent diet sources of calcium. However, diet alone can sometimes be insufficient to keep your calcium levels up. Supplements such as Surbex Z are often recommended to women who are unable to meet their vitamin and mineral requirements just through diet owing to certain illnesses or conditions such as lactose intolerance.
  • Enhances skin health: Surbex Z also contains vitamin E, essential for healthy and nourished skin.

Surbex Z Uses In Urdu

Surbex-Z ایک اعلی طاقت والا ملٹی وٹامن سپلیمنٹ ہے جو مختلف وٹامن کی کمیوں کے علاج کے لیے استعمال ہوتا ہے۔

وٹامنز مائیکرو نیوٹرینٹس ہیں جو جسم کو کم مقدار میں درکار ہوتے ہیں۔ انہیں زیادہ تر زبانی طور پر لیا جاتا ہے، کیونکہ جسم بہت کم یا بالکل نہیں پیدا کرتا ہے۔ اگرچہ ایک متوازن اور صحت مند غذا کافی وٹامن فراہم کر سکتی ہے، لیکن ہر کوئی ایسی خوراک کا متحمل نہیں ہو سکتا۔

مزید یہ کہ، بعض اوقات، کمی کا مقابلہ صرف خوراک سے نہیں کیا جا سکتا۔ خاص طور پر بڑھاپے میں، جب لوگوں کے پاس خوراک اور غذائی اختیارات محدود ہوتے ہیں، تو انہیں اپنے جسم کی اہم وٹامنز اور معدنیات کی ضرورت کو پورا کرنے کے لیے سپلیمنٹس کی ضرورت ہوتی ہے۔

Surbex Z کو درج ذیل طریقوں سے استعمال کیا جا سکتا ہے۔

  • متعدد وٹامن کی کمیوں کا علاج اور روک تھام کے لیے (وٹامن سی، وٹامن بی کمپلیکس، یا زنک)
  • قوت مدافعت بڑھانے کے لیے
  • صحت مند جلد اور بالوں کو فروغ دینے کے لیے
  • ہڈیوں کی صحت کو بڑھانے کے لیے
  • حمل یا بیماری کے دوران ملٹی وٹامنز اور معدنیات کی وافر فراہمی حاصل کرنے کے لیے
  • خون کی کمی کو روکنے میں مدد کرنے کے لیے
  • تھکاوٹ اور تھکاوٹ کو کم کرنے کے لیے
  • مجموعی صحت کو بہتر بنانے کے لیے

Risks and warnings

Generally, Surbex-Z is well tolerated. However, you should know its risks and warnings so that you do not take it when the risk is greater than the benefit.

When your healthcare provider prescribes you any medication, they do so based on the risk versus benefit ratio. Therefore you should give a complete medication and medical history to your healthcare provider. In this way, you can avoid the adverse effects of certain medications.

The risks and warnings associated with Surbex-Z are:

1. Allergy or hypersensitivity

People with allergies to multivitamin supplements should not take Surbex-Z. Allergies can be mild, but in certain cases, people may also have a severe reaction, known as anaphylactic shock. In this condition, the person is under an imminent threat of death, unless they are given immediate medical care or shot from an EpiPen.

Thus, disclose all your allergies to your healthcare provider, so that your medical history contains all such pertinent information.

2. Kidney failure

If your kidneys are not functioning well, your healthcare provider may prescribe milder supplements, or lower dosage, to not overwhelm your kidneys.

Our kidneys perform the vital task of removing toxins and waste products from the body. However, when kidneys are malfunctioning, naturally, their output is decreased i.e., less waste is removed from the body. Thus, patients should put less load on the kidney, as otherwise, the toxins accumulate in the body, which has an adverse impact on the health of the person.

3. Liver diseases

The liver does the metabolism and excretion of drugs in the body. However, in cases where the liver is not working efficiently due to failure or disease, drugs get accumulated in the body. This jeopardizes the health of the person.

Thus, people with liver failure should take supplements like Surbex-Z with caution.

4. Phenylketonuria

The liquid composition of Surbex-Z may contain aspartame, a source of phenylalanine that is contraindicated for patients with phenylketonuria. Thus, people with phenylketonuria should exercise caution when taking any drug.

5. Diabetes

Diabetics should take Surbex-Z at the discretion of their doctor.

6. Pernicious anemia

People suffering from pernicious anemia should take Surbex-Z with caution, and only at the advice of their doctor.

7. Alcohol dependence

People who consume alcohol should take Surbex-Z after conferring with their healthcare provider.

8. Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Women who are pregnant should not take Surbex-Z unless advised otherwise by their doctor. Women who are breastfeeding should also consult their healthcare provider before taking Surbex-Z.
