Uses of Prabinex Combipack Injection 5ml:
Quickly correcting severe fatigue or malabsorption of vitamins B and C, especially in alcohol abuse, where excessive consumption of thiamine can lead to a brain condition called Wernicke's encephalopathy; after acute illnesses, following surgery, and in mental states.
Maintaining levels of vitamin B and C in individuals undergoing long-term hemodialysis for kidney failure.
Mechanism of Action of Prabinex Combipack Injection 5ml:
Pabrinex injections contain the water-soluble vitamins C (ascorbic acid), B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (nicotinamide), and B6 (pyridoxine).
The B group of vitamins are involved in the development and maintenance of the nervous system (brain and nerves) and the formation of red blood cells. L-ascorbic acid is an antioxidant and is responsible for maintaining healthy cell structure and producing an important protein, known as collagen, which is found in the skin, bone, cartilage, and tendons.
Vitamins B and C cannot be produced by the body and are therefore obtained solely from the diet. Vitamin B and C deficiencies can arise from poor diet, especially in alcoholism or mental states, following surgery or illnesses, or in conditions where the body cannot effectively absorb nutrients from the stomach (malabsorption). It can also occur with regular kidney hemodialysis, which removes these vitamins from the blood.
Pabrinex injection is given to replace vitamins B and C in individuals with severe deficiencies of these vitamins quickly.
There are two types of Pabrinex injection: - one is solely for injecting into the veins (intravenous use) and the other for injecting into the muscle (intramuscular use).
Pregnancy and breastfeeding:
Certain medications should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, other medications may be safely used in pregnancy or breastfeeding providing the benefits to the mother outweigh the risks to the unborn baby. Always inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy before using any medication.
No harmful effects have been observed when this medication has been given at prescribed doses to treat deficiencies in pregnant or breastfeeding mothers. However, as with all medications, it should be used with caution and only if the benefits to the mother outweigh any potential risks to the baby.
Mothers who are severely thiamine-deficient (for example, due to alcoholism) should avoid breastfeeding because their breast milk may contain a toxic substance that could be harmful to their baby.
