Thiamine Injection (Vitamin B1) Multi-Dose Vial 2 mL is used to treat and prevent thiamine deficiency, which can lead to conditions such as beriberi and Wernicke's encephalopathy. This injection is particularly beneficial for individuals who cannot absorb nutrients properly due to conditions like chronic alcoholism, gastrointestinal disorders, or malnutrition. Thiamine is vital for energy metabolism and proper nerve function, making its administration crucial for restoring adequate vitamin levels in patients at risk of deficiency.

Thiamine hydrochloride injection is effective for the treatment of thiamine deficiency or beriberi whether of the dry (major symptoms related to the nervous system) or wet (major symptoms related to the cardiovascular system) variety. Thiamine hydrochloride injection should be used where rapid restoration of thiamine is necessary, as in Wernicke’s encephalopathy, infantile beriberi with acute collapse, cardiovascular disease due to thiamine deficiency, or neuritis of pregnancy if vomiting is severe. It is also indicated when giving IV dextrose to individuals with marginal thiamine status to avoid precipitation of heart failure.

Thiamine hydrochloride injection is not usually indicated for conditions of decreased oral intake or decreased gastrointestinal absorption, because multiple vitamins should usually be given
