RESUMEN
La vitamina C ha sido ampliamente estudiada en medicina y si bien se reconoció la importancia de su deficiencia con el escorbuto, la optimización de su uso como recurso terapéutico no ha sido incluida en protocolos o guías de práctica clínica. La farmacocinética y biología de la vitamina C demuestran los efectos sistémicos que posee, y fundamentado en ello, se vienen desarrollado en los últimos años investigaciones que sustenten su uso parenteral en algunas enfermedades. La evidencia disponible señala que el beneficio de su uso no se extiende a varias enfermedades sino a algunas como el cáncer, cuyo reporte preliminar es promisorio, con adecuada tolerabilidad a altas dosis, pero que aún precisa de completar el seguimiento prospectivo de la intervención.
ABSTRACT
Vitamin C has been widely studied in medicine and although the importance of its deficiency with scurvy was recognized, the optimization of its use as a therapeutic resource has not been included in protocols or clinical practice guidelines. The pharmacokinetics and biology of vitamin C indicates the systemic effects it has, and based on it, research has been developed in recent years that supports its parenteral use in some diseases. The available evidence indicates that the benefit of its use does not extend to several diseases but to some such as cancer, whose preliminary report is promising, with adequate tolerability at high doses, but still needs to complete the prospective follow-up of the intervention.
