- Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients used

- Ascorbic acid increases the renal excretion of amphetamine. The plasma concentration of ascorbate is decreased by smoking and oral contraceptives.
- Ascorbic acid increases the absorption of iron.
- Concomitant administration of aspirin and ascorbic acid may interfere with absorption of ascorbic acid. Renal excretion of salicylate is not affected and does not lead to reduced anti-inflammatory effects of aspirin.
- Concomitant administration of aluminium-containing antacids may increase urinary aluminium elimination. Concurrent administration of antacids and ascorbic acid is not recommended, especially in patients with renal insufficiency.
- Co-administration with amygdalin (a complementary medicine) can cause cyanide toxicity.
- Concurrent administration of ascorbic acid with desferrioxamine enhances urinary iron excretion.
