What is it
Forceval Capsules can be used for the following indications:
1. As a therapeutic nutritional adjunct where the intake of vitamins and minerals is suboptimal, e.g. in the presence of organic disease such as malignancy and immune deficiency syndromes, such as AIDS.
2. As a therapeutic nutritional adjunct in conditions where the absorption of vitamins and minerals is suboptimal, e.g. malabsorption, inflammatory bowel disease and fistulae, short bowel syndrome and Crohn’s disease, and where concurrent medication decreases vitamin and mineral absorption.

Evidence from Randomised Control Trials suggests that high doses (20-30 mg/day) b-carotene intake may increase the risk of lung cancer in current smokers and those previously exposed to asbestos. This high-risk population should consider the potential risks and benefits of Forceval Capsules, which contain 4.5mg per recommended daily dose, before use.
