I have bronchitis, I take Klarmin, does it make sense for me to take vitamin C now too?

It is difficult to answer unequivocally - in several clinical trials there were effects such as relieving the symptoms of infection if vitamin C was used from day one or shortening the duration of the disease if it was supplemented regularly before the disease. However, the evidence that vitamin C actually helps fight the disease in an important way is not very strong - when its effectiveness in treating colds was evaluated, it was no more effective than placebo. People with vitamin C deficiency may benefit, but in our diet we have many good sources of vitamin C. However, due to the fact that vitamin C is safe in standard doses, there is no obstacle to you trying to help in this way. However, "megadoses" of vitamin C, exceeding 1000 mg of this vitamin per day, are not recommended. There is no interaction between the antibiotic Klarmin and vitamin C. I enclose examples of preparations in vitamin C at a dose of 500 mg or 1000 mg, which can be purchased at GdziePolek online with home delivery: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/68343/rutinoscorbin-witamina-c-forte-kapsulki-o-przedluzonym-uwalnianiu/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/97145/ascolip-liposomalna-witamina-c-1000-mg-zel/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/83098/vitamina-c-synteza-kapsulki/apteki If you would like to browse the available offer yourself, you can do it via the following link: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/witamina-c
