Thiamine Hydrochloride 200mg/2mL Injection

Product Introduction

Thiamine Hydrochloride 2mL is an injectable vitamin B1 product used to treat or prevent thiamine deficiency for parenteral replacement treatment. Thiamine is essential for carbohydrate metabolism, nerve function, and energy production. Serious deficiency can cause beriberi, neuropathy, heart failure features, or Wernicke encephalopathy, which may present with confusion, eye-movement problems, poor coordination, or altered mental status. Injectable therapy is used when rapid replacement is needed or oral absorption/intake is unreliable. Treatment often needs broader nutritional correction, magnesium assessment, alcohol-withdrawal care, glucose timing in suspected Wernicke risk, and investigation of the cause of deficiency.

How to use

Thiamine Hydrochloride 2mL is given by a healthcare professional by the prescribed route. It may be part of a broader nutrition plan, and magnesium or other vitamins may also need correction.

How it works

Thiamine is converted to thiamine pyrophosphate, a coenzyme required for carbohydrate metabolism and normal nerve and cardiac function.

Common side effects

Possible effects include injection-site pain, warmth, sweating, itching, nausea, and dizziness. Serious but rare concerns include anaphylaxis or severe allergic reaction, especially with parenteral administration.
