Drug introduction

Alpha-tocopherol is an important form of vitamin E with powerful antioxidant effects. In Hong Kong, alpha-tocopherol is commonly used to protect cells from oxidative stress damage and help maintain good health. It helps protect cell membranes from free radical damage, promotes immune system function, and aids in cardiovascular health and skin care. Alpha-tocopherol can also help slow down the aging process, maintain eye health, and promote blood circulation. In daily life, it can be supplemented through dietary intake of foods rich in alpha-tocopherol, such as nuts, seeds, vegetable oils and green leafy vegetables. In the medical field, alpha-tocopherol is also used as a supplement to treat certain diseases or deficiency symptoms. Before using medication, consult your doctor for appropriate advice.

Dosage

Instructions for use: Take 1 capsule daily, preferably after meals to increase absorption rate. Avoid taking it with high-fat foods as it may affect the absorption of the medicine. Avoid overdosing on vitamin E-rich foods or supplements while taking this medication to avoid overdose.

Dosage Guidelines: The recommended daily dose for adults is 200 to 400 international units. The specific dose can be adjusted based on personal needs and physician recommendations. Dosage for children varies based on age and weight, but lower doses are generally recommended and should be followed as directed by your physician. During any dose adjustment, care should be taken to ensure that the upper safe daily limit is not exceeded. If you have any adverse reactions or concerns, you should consult your physician immediately.
