Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a specially designed oral liquid medication that contains Biotin 35 mg and Thiamine HCl 250 mg per 5 mL. It is intended for oral administration and is particularly beneficial for patients who find it difficult to swallow solid dosage forms, such as tablets or capsules. This formulation is also suitable for pediatric and geriatric populations who may require a more easily ingested form of medication.

Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7, plays a crucial role in the body. It supports the health of the skin, nerves, digestive tract, metabolism, and cells. Biotin may also help to treat some types of nerve pathology, such as the peripheral neuropathy that can result from kidney failure or diabetes.

Thiamine HCl, or Vitamin B1, is essential for the body to convert carbohydrates into energy. It is crucial for nerve function and plays a key role in nerve conduction. Thiamine HCl is used to treat or prevent vitamin B1 deficiency, which can lead to disorders affecting the nerves, brain, muscles, heart, and stomach and intestines. It is also used in the management of some metabolic disorders.

Together, Biotin and Thiamine HCl in this formulation work synergistically to support nerve health, energy production, and overall well-being. The liquid form ensures accurate dosing and easy administration, making it a suitable choice for a wide range of patients.

As compounding pharmacists, we ensure that this formulation is prepared with the utmost care and precision, adhering to the highest standards of quality and safety. We are available to answer any questions or concerns you may have about this formulation. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us for further information or clarification.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation contains Biotin and Thiamine HCl, both of which are essential vitamins that play a crucial role in the body's metabolic processes. Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7, is involved in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, while Thiamine HCl, or Vitamin B1, is necessary for the metabolism of sugars and amino acids. This formulation is often used to treat or prevent deficiencies of these vitamins, which can lead to conditions such as beriberi, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, and certain types of anemia.

While Biotin and Thiamine HCl are generally safe and well-tolerated, they can interact with certain medications. For instance, long-term use of certain antibiotics can decrease the effectiveness of Biotin, while alcohol can reduce the absorption of Thiamine HCl. Therefore, it is important to inform your healthcare provider of all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and vitamins.

Furthermore, certain medical conditions can affect the absorption and effectiveness of these vitamins. For instance, individuals with kidney disease or malabsorption syndromes may require higher doses of these vitamins. Similarly, pregnant or breastfeeding women may also require additional supplementation. Therefore, it is crucial to inform your healthcare provider if you have any of these conditions.

It is also important to note that while this formulation is generally safe, it can cause side effects in some individuals. These can include allergic reactions, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. If you experience any of these side effects, it is important to contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Lastly, while this formulation is designed for oral administration, it should be taken as directed by your healthcare provider. Overdose of these vitamins can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, frequent urination, and changes in appetite. If you suspect an overdose, seek medical attention immediately.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its potential interactions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to help ensure that your medication is safe, effective, and tailored to your specific needs.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

The Biotin 35 mg/5 mL/Thiamine HCl 250 mg/5 mL Oral Liquid is a specially formulated medication that combines two essential vitamins, Biotin and Thiamine, in a liquid form for easy ingestion. This formulation is designed to be taken orally and is particularly beneficial for patients who have difficulty swallowing solid dosage forms, such as tablets or capsules. It is also suitable for pediatric and geriatric populations who may require a more manageable dosage form.

Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7, plays a crucial role in the body's metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. It helps convert these nutrients into energy that the body can use. Biotin also supports the health of the skin, hair, and nails. A deficiency in Biotin can lead to a variety of health issues, including hair loss, skin rashes, and neurological problems.

Thiamine, also known as Vitamin B1, is another essential nutrient that the body needs to turn food into energy. It plays a vital role in maintaining the health of the nervous system, muscles, heart, and digestive system. Thiamine deficiency can result in a disease called beriberi, which can cause weight loss, emotional disturbances, impaired sensory perception, weakness and pain in the limbs, and periods of irregular heart rate.

This oral liquid formulation works by replenishing the body's stores of Biotin and Thiamine. When taken as directed, it can help prevent or treat deficiencies in these vitamins, thereby supporting overall health and well-being. It is important to note that while this medication can help manage the symptoms of Biotin and Thiamine deficiency, it is not a cure. Ongoing management of these conditions will require a balanced diet and regular medical check-ups.

As with any medication, it is essential to take this formulation as directed by your healthcare provider. If you have any questions about this medication or its use, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

This specific compounded formulation of Biotin 35 mg/5 mL and Thiamine HCl 250 mg/5 mL Oral Liquid serves as a versatile medication with multiple uses beyond just treating certain disease states. Notably, it can also be utilized for dietary supplementation purposes, especially in patients that have deficiencies in the essential nutrients, biotin (B7 vitamin) and thiamine (B1 vitamin). These deficiencies could be due to malnutrition, alcohol abuse, malabsorption syndromes, or certain physiological states like pregnancy, among others.

Biotin, an essential B-vitamin, plays a pivotal role in the body, supporting the health of the skin, nerves, digestive tract, metabolism, and cells. Aside from addressing biotin deficiency, this formulation can assist in improving the health of the hair and nails, support skin health, and aid in weight loss.

Thiamine hydrochloride, popularly known as vitamin B1, is imperative for the proper functioning of the body. It helps in converting food into energy, is crucial for the growth, development, and function of the cells, and aids in supporting the nervous system. Thus, apart from treating or preventing vitamin B1 deficiency and its consequences, including beriberi and inflammation of the nerves (peripheral neuritis), it may also support general health and wellbeing.

Despite its various uses, it is important to remember that the effects can vary significantly between individuals based on their specific circumstances and health status. Therefore, the use of this formulation should always be done under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Side effects, while rare, may occur and it's crucial for patients to be informed about all potential outcomes before taking the medication.
