How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Phytonadione 10 mg Capsules are a specialized formulation designed to treat a variety of conditions such as vitamin K deficiency, hypoprothrombinemia, and warfarin-induced coagulopathy. The active ingredient, phytonadione, is a fat-soluble vitamin that aids the body in the production of prothrombin, a protein crucial for blood clotting. Upon oral administration, phytonadione is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, initiating its action within minutes. However, this formulation is specifically designed for the aforementioned conditions and may not be effective or safe for treating other conditions.

For optimal results, patients should adhere to the dosage instructions provided by their healthcare provider. The capsules should be consumed with food or a full glass of water to facilitate proper absorption. Consistency is key, hence, the capsules should be taken at the same time each day to maintain a steady level of the medication in the body. It's worth noting that the full effect of the medication may take several days to manifest.

Prescribers should take into account the patient's medical history and any other medications they may be taking before prescribing Phytonadione 10 mg Capsules. This formulation is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to phytonadione or any other ingredients in the formulation. Regular monitoring of the patient's response to the medication is crucial, and dosage adjustments may be necessary based on the patient's condition.
