Vitamins are important substances that take part in a number of life processes of the body. They do not always come in sufficient quantities with food - this is associated with poor diet, monotonous nutrition. In such cases, multivitamins come to the rescue. If a certain vitamin deficiency is diagnosed, it should be prescribed.
Vitamin B 1
This chemical compound is called thiamine. The daily requirement for this vitamin varies depending on age and gender. Women need 1.3-2 mg, men need 1.6-2.5 mg, and children only need 0.5-1.7 mg per day.
Thiamin must be supplied with food, otherwise there are specific neurological manifestations associated with its deficiency. The vitamin is often called anti-neuritic, since its effect is aimed at regulating the activity of the nervous system. Thiamine is found in nuts - pine nuts, walnuts, cashews, pistachios. It can also come with pork, lentils, oats and wheatcereals, corn.
When demand increases?
As a rule, the vitamin comes from food in the required quantities. However, it is possible to distinguish conditions when the optimal daily dose is not enough. Demand increases when the following factors are present:
- intense physical activity;
- nervous strain, stress;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- cold climate;
- poor nutrition;
- diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (especially with diarrhea);
- infections;
- severe burns;
- antibiotic therapy;
- occupational hazards (working with chemicals).
Vitamin deficiency
When vitamin B 1 enters the body in insufficient quantities, characteristic clinical manifestations occur. First of all, the functions of the nervous system are affected. In the body, inhibition processes begin to predominate, 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 occasional seizures. With a lack of vitamin, the body is less resistant to pathogens of infectious diseases. If these symptoms are detected, 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 range of necessary substances.
Thiamin bromide
Vitaminthe drug is used in cases where the intake of thiamine with food is not enough, and there are clinical manifestations of its deficiency. The supplement affects the distribution of nerve impulses, and also has curare-like 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 the deficiency should be 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 beriberi;
- neuralgia, neuritis;
- sciatica;
- vasospasms;
- myocardial dystrophy;
- intestinal atony;
- peptic ulcer;
- eczema, psoriasis;
- itching of the skin;
- neurogenic dermatosis;
- pyoderma.
The drug is usually well tolerated by patients, but should not be used if there is hypersensitivity.
Application features
Thiamin bromide is a safe drug. Among the side effects, only an allergic reaction can be distinguished if the patient has hypersensitivity. It usually presents with skin rashes and itching. Excessive administration of the vitamin into the body should be avoided, as this adversely affects the liver enzyme systems. The simultaneous appointment of thiamine and multivitamins is not allowed - this can becomecause of hypervitaminosis. Also, the drug is not combined with cyanocobalamin and pyridoxine (they are also B12 and B6, respectively).
Thiamin bromide: instructions
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 increases bioavailability. This is not the only option for the drug thiamine bromide. Tablets are used for enteral administration. As a rule, prescribe 10 mg of vitamin 1-3 times a day. Before use, it is better to consult a specialist who will select the required daily dose depending on the clinical situation.
Thiamin 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 help to avoid deficiency. It is recommended to drink a course of vitamins every year.
