Post-Antibiotic Recovery Package
Why is this check-up package important?
Antibiotics are highly effective in treating many infections. However, they do not only eliminate harmful bacteria-they also destroy beneficial bacteria in the gut microbiota.
This disruption can impair the synthesis and absorption of certain vitamins in the body.
Comprehensive laboratory tests help detect the most common vitamin deficiencies that may occur after antibiotic use.
Check-up package includes:
- Vitamin B6
- Vitamin B9
- Vitamin B12
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
- Participates in the formation of red blood cells (erythrocytes).
- Supports the activation of immune responses.
- Essential for glucose uptake by nerve cells and the synthesis of neurotransmitters.
- Involved in protein metabolism.
- Plays a role in fat metabolism by supporting lipid breakdown.
Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)
- Not synthesized in the human body.
- Primary sources include gut microbiota and animal-based foods.
- Antibiotic therapy can weaken the intestinal flora, reducing vitamin B12 production.
- Vitamin B12 deficiency impairs the nervous system, blood formation, and cell division.
Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid)
- It is absorbed in the small intestine, where it undergoes biochemical transformations and becomes active.
- Its active form enters the bloodstream and participates in cellular processes.
- Main function: transport of methyl groups (CH₃), which ensures the synthesis of DNA and some amino acids (e.g. glycine, methionine).
Consequences of folic acid deficiency:
- DNA synthesis is impaired; uracil is incorporated into DNA instead of thymine, making it more susceptible to damage and fragmentation.
- Megaloblastic anemia develops, presenting with symptoms such as pale skin, weakness, and fatigue, as well as the presence of abnormal cells in the blood.
- In addition, platelet and leukocyte counts decrease.
