Frequently asked questions for Phytomenadione

Phytomenadione

Q. What is Phytomenadione used for?

Phytomenadione is used to treat bleeding (hemorrhage or threatened hemorrhage) associated with a low blood level of prothrombin or factor VII. Along with that, it is used to treat vitamin K deficiency in the body. Vitamin K is an important nutrient which is necessary for blood clotting and bone metabolism. Phytomenadione also helps to improve conditions caused due to low levels of vitamin K in the body.

Q. How does Phytomenadione work?

Phytomenadione works by promoting the formation of clotting factors (factors that are required for normal clotting of blood). This prevents bleeding after the use of blood thinning medications (anticoagulants).

Q. Is Phytomenadione effective?

Phytomenadione is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Phytomenadione too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.

Q. How should Phytomenadione be taken?

Phytomenadione should be taken in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food. However, it is advised to take it at the same time each day to avoid the chances of missing a dose.

Q. What if I forget to take a dose of Phytomenadione?

If you forget a dose of Phytomenadione, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next scheduled dose in the prescribed time. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.

Q. Is Phytomenadione safe?

Phytomenadione is safe if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Take it exactly as directed and do not skip any dose. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully and let your doctor know if any of the side effects bother you.
