Description
VITAMIN K INJECTION 10mg/ml is a critical prescription-only medication available at Gathimaini Pharmacy in Thika, Kenya. This sterile injectable emulsion contains Phytomenadione (Vitamin K1) 10mg per ml, a synthetic form of Vitamin K essential for blood clotting. It is primarily used as an antidote to reverse the effects of anticoagulant drugs (like Warfarin) in cases of bleeding or threatened hemorrhage. Furthermore, it is crucially administered for the prophylaxis and treatment of hemorrhagic disease of the newborn. Vitamin K injection works by enabling the liver to produce vital clotting factors, thereby restoring normal blood coagulation. Due to its potent action and the nature of its administration, it must be prescribed and administered by a qualified healthcare professional. It typically comes in single-dose ampoules.
