Pharmacological action
Vitamin preparation.
Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1). Thiamine is converted into active thiamine pyrophosphate and, as a coenzyme, is incorporated into pyruvate decarboxylase, alpha-ketoglutarate decarboxylase complexes, which are involved in the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvic and alpha-ketoglutaric acids transketolase, an enzyme of pentose phosphate shunt.
Indications
Vitamin B1 deficiency, confirmed by clinical and biochemical studies, developing on the background of:
– malnutrition and malnutrition (beriberi disease)
– parenteral nutrition for a long time
– hemodialysis
– chronic alcoholism (alcoholic cardiomyopathy, Wernicke encephalopathy, Korsakoff’s syndrome)
– in high demand.
Polyneuropathies due to vitamin B1 deficiency. Typical signs of this deficiency are neurological disorders in the form of neuropathies with sensory disturbances (pain, tingling sensation, loss of sensation in the upper and lower extremities).
Contraindications
– sucrose / isomaltase deficiency, fructose intolerance glucose-galactose malabsorption
– pregnancy
– childhood

It is not recommended to take a double dose of the drug if the previous dose was missed.
With Wernicke encephalopathy, the administration of dextrose should be preceded by taking thiamine.
