Properties and action on the body

Vitamin B1 is also called thiamine. It is a vital component that takes part in almost all metabolic processes. The medicine is sold in ampoules containing a solution for intramuscular injection. The price of the product in each pharmacy may differ.

The substance has the following effect on the body:

• can act as an analgesic, wound healing and antioxidant substance;
• normalizes digestive activity;
• stops the aging of brain cells;
• helps to stimulate blood formation;
• lowers blood cholesterol;
• prevents the risk of stroke and heart attack;
• prevents the risk of developing infectious and viral pathologies;
• promotes the transmission of nerve impulses;
• strengthens the immune system;
• eliminates metabolic toxic products;
• participates in the reactions of lipid, protein, energy and water-salt metabolism.

Vitamin B1, together with other substances, is unable to form independently in the body. In this regard, he must come every day with food or special means. The daily volume for an adult reaches approximately 1.5 mg, for children - from 0.3 to 1.5 mg.

If the body is deficient in this substance, a depressive state may occur, which provokes the development of dangerous consequences. As a result, tremors in the hands, memory lapses, instability of sleep or insomnia, as well as severe pain in the head, appear. As a result, the ability to work is reduced. Also, vitamin deficiency affects the muscle system, which provokes the onset of pain in the calves, not allowing to fully perform normal loads.

The main factors of vitamin B1 deficiency are the following:

• High sweat separation.
• High hypothermia or overheating of the body.
• Preservation of fruits and vegetables. If you sterilize the ingredients for 25 minutes, they will lose the vitamin by 25%.
• Continuous consumption of a coffee drink. Drinking coffee every day causes the release of a large volume of hydrochloric acid, which destroys about 50% of thiamine in the body.
• The presence of chronic infectious pathologies.
• Long-term heat treatment of food. If the food is cooked at a temperature of 200 ℃ for 45 minutes, the active element will be lost by 50%.
• Reducing the amount of coarse fiber in raw materials of plant origin. There is very little active substance in bleached grains, extra oat flakes, white bread and polished rice grits.
• Frequent consumption of refined carbohydrate food. With the constant use of pasta, baked goods, confectionery and bakery treats, the lack of thiamine in the body increases by 3 times.
• Stage of pregnancy. With the onset of the last trimester, the need almost doubles. In this regard, the daily volume of thiamine for pregnant women should reach 3 mg.

If the lack of a substance lasts for a long period of time, more than 12 months, the exchange is disrupted proteins, fats and carbohydrates, and the reaction of the formation of a cellular energy source is reduced. As a result, glucose that comes from food cannot be converted into an ATP molecule. For this reason, lactic acid and pyruvate are formed in the blood, which are toxic products of partial processing of carbohydrates.

With the penetration of substances into the tissues of the spinal cord and brain, a failure occurs in their activity, provoking the risk of neurological pathologies. To prevent the factors of manifestation of disorders, it is necessary to determine and establish in time the causes that affect the lack of a water-soluble substance in the body.

From the pharmacodynamic side of thiamine chloride-darnitsa is presented in the form of a synthetic preparation of vitamin B1, which belongs to water-soluble elements. During the transfer of phosphoric acid residues, the vitamin becomes a cocarboxylase, which acts as an organic compound of most enzymatic processes.

The active ingredient takes part in metabolism and reflex-nervous regulation, influencing the execution of excitation in synapses. Also, the substance has curariform and ganglion-blocking actions. The drug can weaken the curariform effect of muscle relaxants.

From the side of pharmacokinetics, the drug is normally absorbed. The transfer of phosphoric acid residues is carried out in the liver. The accumulation occurs in the spleen, kidneys, brain, heart and liver. It can be excreted in the kidneys and liver, approximately 10% remains unchanged.

If the medicine is combined with other drugs, the following effects may appear:

• the activity of thiamine is delayed when 5-fluorouracil and thiosemicarbazone are used;
• the reaction of absorption of thiamine is slowed down when using ethanol;
• it is impossible to combine thiamine with cyanocobalamin and pyridoxine, since the process of its transition to a biological form is hampered, and its hypersensitivity increases;
• the therapeutic results of choline derivatives and depolarizing muscle relaxants are weakened;
• the therapeutic effects of sympathomimetics and adrenergic agonists are weakened;
• the need for a substance increases when using caffeine or drugs containing estrogens with sulfur;
• there is a lack of an active element with the simultaneous use of antacid formulations, indomethacin, digoxin and anticonvulsants.

If the drug is injected intramuscularly together with solutions in which sodium hydrosulfite is present as a preservative or antioxidant, the active component will be unstable. Instability also manifests itself in neutral and alkaline solutions.

It is undesirable to combine vitamin B1 with the following components:

• barbiturates;
• iodides;
• carbonates;
• copper oxide;
• tannin acid;
• iron ammonium citrate;
• citrates.

• neurasthenia;
• neuritis;
• paralysis with peripheral paresis;
• polyneuritis;
• radiculitis;
• chronic liver damage;
• endarteritis;
• encephalopathy;
• ulcer of the duodenum and stomach.

So that at the stage of pregnancy the fetus is fully formed, the need for the active ingredient increases and is up to 3 mg per day. A deficiency of a substance can provoke an incorrect laying of organs and the formation of abnormalities in the activity of the central nervous system of a child.

The need for thiamine arises in the last trimester, when there is strong pain in the lower back, hips due to uterine pressure on the nerve plexuses. In this regard, it is required to control that a pregnant woman regularly saturates the body with vitamin. To do this, you need to eat foods that contain thiamine every day.

The active component of the drug is capable of creating bonds with various neurotransmitters. As a result, blood pressure decreases, the central nervous system is inhibited, the contraction of skeletal muscles is disturbed, and cardiac arrhythmia is also manifested. In this case, the active substance increases the resistance of staphylococcus to antibiotics.
