Ubiquinol, also known as coenzyme Q10, is a substance normally produced by the body. Our body uses it to maintain good health. It has been used for heart problems (e.g., heart failure, angina), hypertension, Parkinson's disease, gum disease, and some diseases that are transmitted through families (Huntington's disease, muscular dystrophy).
It has also been used to reduce the number of migraines and to reduce cellular damage that may occur after surgery or treatment with certain cancer drugs.
If you have or think you may have any of the conditions listed above, consult your doctor for advice on appropriate care and treatment. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
This product is taken orally as directed. Follow all the directions on the product packaging. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
If you are using a liquid or powder form, carefully measure the dose using a medication measuring device or spoon. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose. If your liquid form is a suspension, shake the bottle well before measuring each dose. If the liquid comes in a tube/bowl, take the dose immediately after opening and discard any remaining liquid. Follow the manufacturer's directions for mixing the powder form.
If you are using chewable tablets or wafers, chew each dose well before swallowing.
If you're using a tablet to dissolve in your mouth, dry your hands before handling the tablet. Place each dose on your tongue and allow it to dissolve completely, then swallow with saliva or water.
Do not crush or chew extended-release tablets. This may release all of the medicine at once, increasing the risk of side effects. Also, do not split the tablets unless they have a break line and your doctor or pharmacist tells you to do so. Swallow the tablet whole or divided without crushing or chewing it.
If your condition persists or gets worse, or if you think you have a serious medical problem, see a doctor immediately.
