Treatment of thiamine deficiency4.2 Posology and method of administration
\*\*Adults, the Elderly and Children over three years\*\*:
Mild chronic deficiency: 50 mg daily
Severe deficiency: 100 mg three times daily.

This medicinal product contains lactose monohydrate. Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, the Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medicine.4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
The thiamine antagonist's thiosemicarbazone and 5-fluorouracil can neutralise the effect of thiamine. Patients using any of these treatments may need their thiamine dose adjusted.
Thiamine could give false positive results for urobilinogen determination by the Ehrlich's reaction. High doses of thiamine may interfere with spectrophotometric assays of theophylline plasma concentration.4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation

- Instruction Pharmacology
- 5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
\*\*ATC Code\*\*: A11DA01
\*\*Pharmacotheraputic Group\*\*: Vitamin B1, Plain
Thiamine is an essential co-enzyme for carbohydrate metabolism.5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties
Thiamine is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract following oral administration, although the absorption of large doses is limited. It is widely distributed to most body tissues and appears in breast milk. Within the cell, thiamine is mostly present as the diphosphate.
Thiamine is not stored to any appreciable extent in the body; amounts in excess of the body's requirements are excreted in the urine as unchanged thiamine or metabolites.5.3 Preclinical safety data
No relevant data.
