Thiamine (also known as vitamin B1) is a water-soluble vitamin essential for carbohydrate metabolism, energy production, and normal functioning of the nervous system, heart, and muscles. It’s especially important for converting glucose into usable energy.
The 100 mg/mL injectable solution contains thiamine hydrochloride formulated for medical use — typically as a sterile multiple-dose vial (MDV).
Injectable thiamine may also be given before carbohydrate-rich IV fluids to avoid precipitating symptoms in patients with possible thiamine depletion.
Both Intravenous (IV) and Intramuscular (IM) routes are medically accepted:
IV (intravenous):
• Often used when rapid correction is needed (e.g., suspected Wernicke’s encephalopathy).
• Can be given slowly over minutes to reduce risk of side effects.
IM (intramuscular):
• Suitable for routine repletion or when IV access is not required.
• May cause local discomfort or tenderness at the injection site.
