Kenadion 1 Injection 0.5ml

Kenadion Injection is used to prevent and manage bleeding caused by vitamin K deficiency. It helps treat hemorrhage due to anticoagulant use, antibiotic therapy, malabsorption disorders, and newborn bleeding by supporting proper blood clot formation.

To administer Kenadion-1 Injection properly, adhere to these guidelines:

• The injection should be administered either subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or intravenously by a doctor.

• If given intravenously, it should be administered very slowly at a rate not exceeding 1 mg per minute.

• Avoid self-administration; always have this injection administered under medical supervision.

For specific advice based on your health condition, consult your doctor.

Kenadion-1 Injection is administered either subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or intravenously.

Kenadion-1 Injection contains Phytomenadione (1 MG), which affects the body as follows:

• Synthesis of Clotting Factors: Phytomenadione acts as an essential cofactor for the liver to synthesise active clotting factors II (prothrombin), VII, IX, and X.

• Blood Clotting Promotion: These clotting factors are enabled to bind calcium and interact with phospholipid surfaces in wounded tissues, thereby promoting blood clotting.

• Rapid Absorption: After being administered subcutaneously, phytomenadione gets readily absorbed and initially concentrated in the liver; its levels then decline rapidly.

• Time of Action: The action of this ingredient is usually detectable within 1-2 hours, with bleeding controlled in 3-6 hours and normal prothrombin levels often restored in 12-14 hours.

• Store Kenadion-1 Injection in a cool and dry place, shielded from light.

• The suitable storage temperature for this medicine is below 25°C.

• Always remember to keep the injection away from children's reach.

• If you are administering Kenadion-1 Injection to manage vitamin K deficiency due to malabsorption syndromes, consider incorporating more vitamin K-rich foods such as green leafy vegetables and broccoli into your diet.

• Maintain a balanced diet to support overall health and avoid further complications from deficiencies. This can help your body better respond to Kenadion-1 Injection.
