This drug contain Phytonapoietin 1 mg.
workings
Phytonadione (also known as Vitamin K1) is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in blood clotting. It works by activating the proteins involved in blood clotting, allowing the blood to clot properly and prevent excessive bleeding.
When administered, the phytonadione 1 mg/0.5 ml solution is injected intravenously into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, the vitamin is absorbed by the liver where it is stored and used when needed.
The 0.5 ml dose of phytonadione is a typical dose for correcting a deficiency in blood clotting factors, preventing excessive bleeding in certain medical conditions, or reversing the effects of certain anticoagulants. The dose may be adjusted based on the patient's individual needs.
Overall, phytonadione helps to maintain proper blood clotting and prevent excessive bleeding, promoting healthy blood flow and preventing serious medical conditions.
usage
Phytonadione is used in various medical conditions such as severe bleeding, liver disease, and certain medications that affect Vitamin K levels in the body. It is also used to prevent bleeding in newborns, who are at a higher risk of having low Vitamin K levels due to low levels of natural Vitamin K in their diet and limited gut bacteria to synthesize the vitamin.
directions
