Vitamin C deficiency:
Treatment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Because scurvy is potentially fatal, treatment begins immediately to restore adequate vitamin C intake by daily doses of 100 to 200 mg vitamin C in synthetic form or in orange juice in mild disease and by doses as high as 500 mg/day in severe disease. Symptoms usually subside in 2 to 3 days; hemorrhages and bone disorders, in 2 to 3 weeks.
To prevent vitamin C deficiency, patients unable or unwilling to consume foods rich in vitamin C or those facing surgery should take daily supplements of ascorbic acid. The recommended daily allowance is 60 mg/day. Vitamin C supplementation may also prevent this deficiency in recently weaned infants or those drinking formula not fortified with vitamin C.
