Description:

S-Cee Syrup 100ml is a liquid dietary supplement providing Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). It serves as an immunity booster, supports collagen formation, promotes wound healing, acts as an antioxidant to protect cells from oxidative stress, enhances iron absorption, and helps prevent or treat Vitamin C deficiency (scurvy). It is commonly used for general immune support, recovery from illness, skin health, or dietary supplementation in children and adults, especially during cold/flu season or poor diet.

Prescription: Over-the-counter (OTC). No prescription required; freely sold in Ghanaian pharmacies (e.g., Scab Pharmacy, Ernest Chemists, Country Medical Pharmacy) and chemical shops as a nutritional supplement.

Therapeutic Category:

Nutritional supplement / Vitamin C preparation (antioxidant and immune support; ascorbic acid for deficiency prevention and general wellness).

Active Ingredients/Composition:

Active ingredient: Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) – typically 100 mg to 250 mg per 5 ml dose (common strengths in Ghanaian Vitamin C syrups; exact concentration varies by brand/batch—often 100 mg/5 ml or 200-250 mg/5 ml in Ascovit Cee or similar). Formulated as flavored syrup with excipients (sucrose/glucose for sweetness, preservatives, purified water, flavorings; check label for precise mg/5 ml).

Vitamins: Yes – Vitamin C (ascorbic acid, primary active).

Minerals: None (no added minerals like zinc in standard formulations; some related “Cee” products may include zinc but S-Cee/Ascovit Cee is primarily Vitamin C).

Variant: 100ml syrup bottle (standard size; flavored for palatability, often orange or mixed fruit; no major sub-variants noted beyond pack size or slight formulation differences).

Consume Type:

Oral (liquid syrup; measured with spoon/cup; shake well before use).

Directions/Usage: Adults: Usually 5-10 ml (1-2 teaspoons) once or twice daily, or as directed. Children: 2.5-5 ml once or twice daily (age/weight-based; consult pharmacist/doctor). Take with or without food; use as daily supplement for immunity or deficiency prevention. Follow label or healthcare provider instructions; do not exceed dose (excess Vitamin C may cause GI upset).

Common Side Effects:

• Mild digestive upset (diarrhoea, nausea, stomach cramps) at high doses (>2000 mg/day)
• Heartburn or abdominal pain (rare at recommended doses)
• Generally well-tolerated; side effects uncommon with standard intake.

Package Type:

Plastic bottle of 100 ml (with measuring spoon/cup; child-resistant cap; often amber/clear with label; simple carton).

Storage Advice: Store at room temperature (below 30°C), in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep tightly closed. Keep out of reach of children.

Safety Advice:

• Safe for most people; excess (>2000 mg/day) may cause diarrhoea, nausea, or kidney stones in susceptible individuals.
• Consult doctor before use in pregnancy, breastfeeding, children under certain ages, or with kidney issues (high doses risk oxalate stones).
• Not a substitute for balanced diet or medical treatment for illness.
• If symptoms persist (e.g., ongoing weakness), seek medical evaluation.
• Keep securely stored—accidental overdose unlikely but possible GI upset.
