Active Ingredients/Composition: 

• Each uncoated tablet contains Phytomenadione BP 10mg. The “BP” stands for British Pharmacopoeia, ensuring international purity benchmarks. It prompts the liver to synthesize essential blood-clotting factors (Factors II, VII, IX, and X).

Usage & Forms

Variant: 

• 10mg tablet. (It is also manufactured in 1mg and 10mg injectable ampoule forms for emergency use). 

Consume Type: 

• Oral use. Depending on the specific binder used by the manufacturer, some variants are designed to be chewed or dissolved in the mouth before swallowing, while others are swallowed whole with water. Always follow your specific box instructions. 
• Directions/Usage:
  • Take exactly as directed by your physician.
  • Can be taken with or without food, but should be consumed at a consistent time each day.
  • It is commonly used as an emergency antidote for an overdose of blood thinners like Warfarin. 

Safety & Storage

• Common Side Effects: Generally well-tolerated when given orally. Rare side effects include brief dizziness, sweating, temporary changes in taste, or mild facial flushing. 

Package Type: 

• Blister strips containing 10 tablets packed inside a commercial cardboard box. 

Storage Advice: 

• Store at room temperature between 15°C to 25°C. Protect completely from light and moisture, as Vitamin K rapidly breaks down and loses its potency when exposed to sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. 
• Safety Advice:
  • Never take this medication if you have a known allergy to Phytomenadione.
  • Do not take this medicine if you have a G6PD deficiency, as it can cause your red blood cells to break down too quickly.
  • Use with extreme caution if you have severe liver damage, as an injured liver cannot use Vitamin K to build clotting factors properly.
  • If you are taking this to correct an overdose of blood thinners, you must undergo regular Prothrombin Time (PT) or INR blood tests to check your clotting rate.
