Indications & Uses
Thiovit is used to treat the various manifestations of thiamine deficiency, including beriberi, Wernicke's encephalopathy, neuritis associated with pregnancy, and pellagra. It may also be given as a supplement to prevent deficiency in situations of low dietary intake, impaired gastrointestinal absorption of thiamine (as with alcohol use), or increased requirements, such as during pregnancy or when following a carbohydrate-rich diet.
Pharmacology
Thiamine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B1) is essential for the metabolism of carbohydrate and many amino acids. When Thiamine is deficient, the body's use of pyruvic acid and amino acids in tissue declines, causing pyruvic acid and lactic acid to build up and leading to Beri-beri. In adults, the tissues fully break down roughly 1 mg of Thiamine per day, which is approximately the minimum daily requirement. Thiamine is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed widely to most body tissues. Any amount beyond the body's needs is excreted in the urine, either unchanged or as metabolites.
