Reference Information Only
Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.
Adults:
Adults and children aged 11 years and above take 1 vial a day. Each vial is a single dose, so you first reconstitute it by adding 5 ml of sterile Water for injection, or another intravenous fluid such as 0.9% Sodium Chloride injection or 5% Glucose injection. Draw up the 5 ml of diluent with a sterile syringe, add it to the vial and mix gently until the lyophilized powder dissolves.
Give the whole volume of the solution as a slow intravenous injection, taking at least 10 minutes, or dilute it further for intravenous infusion. In parenteral nutrition admixtures, add the vitamins just before administration and finish giving the mixture within 24 hours, so that vitamin losses stay as low as possible.

Large intravenous doses of Thiamine have been followed by anaphylactic reactions. Urticaria and rash have also been linked to Multivitamin [water & fat soluble] + Normal Saline. Anaphylactic reactions after IV injection or infusion of this combination over 1 to 4 minutes have been reported too, though very rarely.
