Vitamins are important substances that take part in a number of vital processes. They do not always come in sufficient quantities with food - this is associated with poverty of the diet, monotonous nutrition. In such cases, multivitamins come to the rescue. If a deficiency of a certain vitamin is diagnosed, it should be prescribed.
Vitamin B 1
This chemical compound is called thiamine. The daily requirement for this vitamin is different - it depends on age and gender. Women need 1.3-2 mg, men 1.6-2.5 mg, and children only 0.5-1.7 mg per day.
Thiamine must necessarily come with food, otherwise specific neurological manifestations associated with its deficiency occur. Vitamin is often called antineuritic, as its effect is aimed at regulating the activity of the nervous system. Thiamine is found in nuts - cedar, walnuts, cashews, pistachios. It can also come with pork, lentils, oat and wheat cereals, corn.
When does demand increase?
As a rule, vitamin comes with food in necessary quantities. However, it is possible to distinguish conditions when the optimal daily dose is not enough. The need increases when there are the following factors:
- intense physical activity;
- nervous strain, stress;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- cold climate;
- poor nutrition;
- gastrointestinal diseases (especially with diarrhea);
- infections
- severe burns;
- antibiotic therapy;
- occupational hazards (work with chemicals).
Vitamin deficiency
When vitamin B 1 is ingested in insufficient quantities, characteristic clinical manifestations occur. First of all, the functions of the nervous system are affected. Inhibition begins to prevail in the body, while excitation, on the contrary, weakens. This is manifested by rapid fatigue, weakness, as well as nausea and loss of appetite. Patients report memory impairment, insomnia, and periodic cramps. With a lack of vitamin A, the body resists infectious pathogens worse. If these symptoms are found, it is recommended to diversify the diet with foods rich in B vitamins. In addition, special preparations are prescribed - thiamine bromide or multivitamins containing a whole complex of necessary substances.
Thiamine bromide
A vitamin preparation is used in cases where the intake of thiamine with food is insufficient, and clinical manifestations of its deficiency occur. The supplement affects the distribution of nerve impulses, and also has curariform and ganglion blocking effects.
Indications for use
The drug is prescribed for a number of pathological conditions. Before use, other pathologies that have manifestations characteristic of a vitamin deficiency should be excluded and deficiency confirmed. It is recommended to collect an anamnesis, find out how the patient eats, whether he has chronic pathologies. The drug is prescribed if there are the following indications:
- hypo- and vitamin deficiency;
- neuralgia, neuritis;
- radiculitis;
- spasms of blood vessels;
- myocardial dystrophy;
- intestinal atony;
- peptic ulcer;
- eczema, psoriasis;
- itching of the skin;
- neurogenic dermatosis;
- pyoderma.
The drug is usually well tolerated by patients, but it should not be used if there is an increased sensitivity.
Application features
Thiamine bromide is a safe drug. Among the side effects, only an allergic reaction can be distinguished if the patient has hypersensitivity. It is usually manifested by skin rashes and itching. Excessive vitamin intake should be avoided, as this adversely affects the liver enzyme systems. The simultaneous administration of thiamine and multivitamins is not allowed - this can cause hypervitaminosis. Also, the drug is not combined with cyanocobalamin and pyridoxine (they are also B12 and B6, respectively).
Thiamine bromide: instruction
The drug has two forms. Injections are administered intramuscularly using 0.5 ml of a 3% solution once a day. The course of therapy is 10-30 days. Parenteral administration enhances bioavailability. This is not the only thiamine bromide drug option. Tablets are used for enteral administration. As a rule, 10 mg of vitamin 1-3 is prescribed 1-3 times a day. Before use, it is better to consult a specialist who will select the necessary daily dose, depending on the clinical situation.
Thiamine bromide is indispensable in the event of hypovitaminosis. It allows you to stabilize the neurological symptoms of a number of pathologies and improve the patient's condition. Thiamine is often used as part of multivitamin complexes, the regular use of which will avoid a deficiency. It is recommended to drink a course of vitamins every year.
