Increased intake of ascorbic acid over a prolonged period may result in an increased renal clearance of ascorbic acid, and deficiency may result if the intake is reduced or withdrawn rapidly.
Interference with serological testing: Ascorbic acid may interfere with tests and assays for urinary glucose, giving false-negative results with methods utilising glucose oxidase with indicator (e.g. Labstix, Tes-Tape) and false-positive results with neocuproine methods.
Estimation of uric acid by phosphotungstate or uricase with copper reduction and measurement of creatinine in non-deproteinised serum may also be affected.
High doses of ascorbic acid may give false-negative readings in faecal occult blood tests. Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, total lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medicine.
Effects on the Ability to Drive and Operate Machine: XonCe has no influence on the ability to drive or use machine.
