Ascorbic Acid Injection (Corn-Free, Preservative-Free)

Product Overview

Ascorbic Acid Injection (Corn-Free, Preservative-Free) is a prescription injectable formulation of Vitamin C, an essential water-soluble vitamin critical for antioxidant defense, collagen synthesis, immune support, and tissue repair. This formulation is corn-free and preservative-free, making it suitable for patients with sensitivities to corn derivatives or preservatives.

Vitamin C plays a key role in neutralizing free radicals, supporting wound healing, enhancing immune function, and promoting healthy connective tissue. Injectable administration ensures rapid systemic absorption, which is particularly beneficial for patients requiring immediate or high-dose supplementation or those with gastrointestinal absorption limitations.

This medication is available by prescription only and must be administered under licensed healthcare supervision.
