Pregnancy / Lactation

Pregnancy warnings:     

Pregnancy category: N/A 

Lactation: Excreted into human milk is unknown 

Pregnancy Categories:         

Category A: Studies that were well-controlled and met expectations revealed no risk to the fetus in either the first or second trimester. 

Category B: There were a lack of studies on pregnant women and no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal experiments.   

Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.    

Category D: adequate data with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.   

Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.    

Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category  

Pharmacology

Pharmacology: l-glutamic acid is an amino acid that serves as a neurotransmitter and plays various roles in various metabolic pathways. 

The vitamin B complex is crucial for energy production, nervous system function, and the synthesis of neurotransmitters. 

Pharmacodynamics:  

Together, l-glutamic acid and vitamin B complex contribute synergistically to cellular metabolism, supporting the central nervous system and promoting overall physiological well-being. Their combined pharmacological effects encompass neurotransmission facilitation, energy metabolism enhancement, and active participation in biochemical reactions vital for cellular function. 

Pharmacokinetics: 

Absorption 

l-glutamic acid is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, while vitamin B is absorbed through various mechanisms in the small intestine. 

Distribution 

Once absorbed, l-glutamic acid and vitamin B are distributed throughout the body via the bloodstream, reaching target tissues. 

Metabolism 

l-glutamic acid undergoes metabolism in various tissues participating in neurotransmitter synthesis. vitamin B undergoes metabolic transformations, contributing to energy production and various biochemical pathways. 

Excretion and Elimination 

l-glutamic acid is metabolized and eliminated, and excess vitamin B is often excreted through urine. 

Adminstartion

Administration:  

The route of administration is oral. 

The specific dosage and administration regimen depend on various factors, including individual health conditions and nutritional requirements.
