• Renal failures (a giperoksalaturiya, an urolithiasis in the anamnesis);
• High content of iron in blood (hemochromatosis, a thalassemia, a polycythemia, leukemia, sideroblastny anemia (vitamin C increases iron absorption).

With care appoint Askotsin sick with the progressing oncological diseases as its use can accelerate the course of process.

As a result of treatment with use of a medicine results of laboratory tests and analyses can change: existence in blood of glucose, bilirubin; change of activity of a lactate dehydrogenase, transaminases.
