Phyto K 1 1 MG Injection 1 ML contains phytomenadione (1 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Cofactor for clotting factor synthesis: Phytomenadione serves as an essential cofactor in your liver's production of several blood clotting factors, including factors II, VII, IX, and X, enabling proper blood coagulation.

• Gamma-carboxylation: It participates in a process called gamma-carboxylation of glutamic acid residues on clotting proteins, which allows these factors to bind calcium ions and function effectively in the blood clotting cascade.

• Protein C and S production: Phytomenadione influences the production of proteins C and S, which are natural anticoagulants that help maintain a proper balance in your blood clotting system.

• Reversal of anticoagulation: It counteracts the effects of vitamin K antagonists, such as warfarin, by restoring normal blood clotting mechanisms when excessive anticoagulation occurs.

• Store Phyto K 1 1 MG Injection 1 ML in its original packaging.

• Keep the ampoules protected from light exposure, as this can damage the medicine.

• Do not freeze the injection.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Discard any unused portion immediately after opening an ampoule.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• If you have a vitamin K deficiency, include more dark green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, and broccoli in your diet, as these are natural sources of vitamin K that support blood clotting.

• Limit alcohol consumption if you have liver disease, as excessive alcohol can worsen liver function and reduce your body's ability to use vitamin K effectively.
