Cramping vitamin

Treatment Nonpharmacologic treatments of muscle cramping that occurs during hemodialysis include decreasing the ultrafiltration rate and accurately determining the dry weight. Pharmacologic measures include vitamin E, which is administered at doses of 400 IU daily. Other options that are not as well studied include oxazepam and prazosin. 

It is indicated in premature infants exposed to high concentration of oxygen, correction of established vitamin E deficiency, in patients at risk of developing vitamin E deficiency, nocturnal muscle cramps, intermittent claudication, fibrocystic breast disease, coronary artery disease and as an antioxidant. 

Adverse effects of octreotide therapy include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, flatulence, and steatorrhea with bulky bowel movements. Biliary sludge and gallstones may occur after 6 months of use in 20-30% of patients. However, the yearly incidence of symptomatic gallstones is about 1%. Cardiac effects include sinus bradycardia (25%) and conduction disturbances (10%). Pain at the site of injection is common, especially with the long-acting octreotide suspension. Vitamin B12 deficiency may occur with long-term use of octreotide. 

The main features of hypocalcemia are neuromuscular—tetany, paresthesias, laryngospasm, muscle cramps, and convulsions. The major causes of hypocalcemia in the adult are hypoparathyroidism, vitamin D deficiency, chronic kidney disease, and malabsorption. Neonatal hypocalcemia is a common disorder that usually resolves without therapy. The roles of PTH, vitamin D, and calcitonin in the neonatal syndrome are under active investigation. Large infusions of citrated blood can produce hypocalcemia by the formation of citrate-calcium complexes. Calcium and vitamin D (or its metabolites) form the mainstay of treatment of hypocalcemia.

Individuals on long-term diuretic therapy may also experience elevated levels of homocysteine, an amino acid regulated by folate. High homocysteine levels increase the risk of heart disease. Thiamin, or vitamin Bj, depletion is another possible side effect of loop diuretics. Individuals with thiamin deficiencies are at risk for fatigue, heart enlargement, muscle cramps, heart rate irregularities, and impaired mental function. 

Intoxication with vitamin D causes weakness, nausea, loss of appetite, headache, abdominal pains, cramps, and diarrhea. More seriously, it also causes hypercalcemia, with plasma concentrations of calcium between 2.75 to 4.5 mmol per L, compared with the normal range of 2.2 to 2.5 mmol per L. At plasma concentrations of calcium above 3.75 mmol per L, vascular smooth muscle may contract abnormally, leading to hypertension and hypertensive encephalopathy. Hypercalciuria may also result in the precipitation of calcium phosphate in the renal tubules and hence the development of urinary calculi. Hypercalcemia can also result in calcinosis - the calcification of soft tissues, including kidneys, heart, lungs, and blood vessels. This is assumed to be the result of increased calcium uptake into tissues in response to excessive plasma concentrations of the vitamin and its metabolites.

Ingestion of large amounts of zinc oxide may cause nausea, cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea. Zinc oxide is often used in ointments along with vitamins A and D, and toxicity usually develops to these added constituents rather than the zinc oxide. It would require an ingestion of greater than 60 g of a typical ointment to result in vitamin A toxicity. Smaller amounts could also cause gastrointestinal disturbances such as diarrhea due to the emollient base. As much as... 

Both vitamin E and quinine significantly reduce the incidence of cramps (in one study from 10.4 and 10.9 per month to 3.3 and 3.6 per month, respectively [p <0.0005]). Quinine is usually well tolerated.

The many claims made for the powers of vitamin C have not, however, been substantiated in extensive clinical testing. Although many individuals recommend megadoses of vitamin C, the RDA is only 60 mg. In fact, the ingestion of large doses, more than 1-2 g daily, has been reported to cause intestinal cramps, nausea, diarrhea, and kidney stones. Fresh fruits, especially citrus fruits, and vegetables, among them potatoes, are rich dietary sources of vitamin C. 

Procter Gamble had high hopes for Olestra when it was first introduced to the marketplace in the late 1990s. Public reaction was very positive at first. However, enthusiasm for the new product began to die off rather quickly. Olestra-containing products earned the company 400 million in 1998, but only two years later, sales had dropped to 200 million. One concern is that Olestra may have undesirable health effects on some individuals. These effects include bloating, diarrhea, cramps, loose stools, and urgency of defecation. The compound also appears to interfere with the absorption of certain vitamins. When the FDA approved Olestra for use in the United States, it added the requirement that vitamins A, D, E, and also be added to counteract this effect. The future status of sucrose polyester is, at this point, somewhat in douht.

Administered as a once-daily, 20-pg SC injection in the thigh or abdominal wall, teriparatide is a clear, colorless liquid that is available as a 750 pg/3 ml, prefilled, disposable pen that requires refrigeration. Concurrent calcium (1,000 mg) and vitamin D (400 lU) supplementation is recommended. Treatment for longer than 2 years is not recommended. Teriparatide is rapidly absorbed, demonstrates 95% bioavailability, and is quickly eliminated via both hepatic and extrahepatic routes. The half life is 1 hour when administered SC. Metabolic studies have not been performed on teriparatide however, the entire PTH preprohormone has been shown to undergo enzyme-mediated transformations in the liver. Dizziness and leg cramps are the most commonly reported adverse side effects. 

Lubricants such as mineral oil increase water retention in the stool. Mineral oil absorbs essential fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Some of the minerals can be absorbed into the lymphatic system. Side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping. They are not indicated for children, the elderly, or patients with debilitating conditions because they can aspirate the mineral oil, resulting in lipid pneumonia. 

Yes, it has been approved, but it requires a caveat also. An Olestra product must include the following statement on the label "This product contains olestra. Olestra may cause abdominal cramping and loose stools. Olestra also inhibits the absorption of some vitamins and other nutrients. Vitamins A, D, E, and K have been added." FDA only approves its use in snack food. 

The role of vitamin G in preventing the common cold has long been debated, and numerous studies have found it to be either effective or ineffective. Gurrently, there is more evidence in favor of its ability to decrease the severity of cold symptoms than for any ability to prevent colds. It is reported, however, that one-third of the U.S. population takes vitamin G supplements to ward off colds. Daily doses of 1 g or more can cause diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal cramps in some people.
