riboflavin + vitamin C

This drug is a **combination of two essential water-soluble vitamins**: riboflavin (vitamin B2) and vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Both play important roles as dietary supplements and are often found together in multivitamin and B-complex formulations. - **Riboflavin** acts primarily as a precursor for cofactors (FAD and FMN) involved in cellular energy metabolism, redox reactions, and antioxidant defense[5]. - **Vitamin C** is a major extracellular antioxidant that protects cells against oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals and acts as a cofactor for several biosynthetic enzymes[5]. The combination is often indicated for the prevention or treatment of vitamin deficiency due to poor diet, illness, alcoholism, or pregnancy. There is evidence for potential *synergistic protection against oxidative stress and organ injury* when both vitamins are administered together[5]. These nutrients are frequently components of over-the-counter multivitamin and B-complex with vitamin C supplements[3][4].
