About Vit-K3 10 mg Injection 1 ml

Vit-K3 10 mg Injection 1 ml is a vitamin supplement used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It is primarily used in the treatment of Vitamin K deficiency. Vitamin K is one of the important vitamins that help blood clotting and bone metabolism.

Vit-K3 10 mg Injection 1 ml contains Menadione (Vitamin K3) which is a Vitamin K analogue. It works by helping the body make blood clotting factors such as Factor II, VII, IX, X in the liver, and anticoagulant proteins that prevent bleeding.

The dose of the medicine will be decided by your doctor depending on your condition.

Vit-K3 10 mg Injection 1 ml should be avoided if allergic to it or any other components present in it.
