Beriwin Injection is a vitamin supplement that is used to prevent and treat thiamine deficiency or beriberi, a deficiency related to chronic alcoholism and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Beriwin Injection is also used when giving IV dextrose to individuals with marginal thiamine status to prevent the precipitation of heart failure.

Beriwin Injection includes Thiamine (Vitamin B1), which works by giving critical nutrients to the body. Beriwin Injection is also appropriate in patients with established thiamine deficit who are unable to take thiamine/vitamin B1 orally due to concurrent severe anorexia, malabsorption, nausea, or vomiting.

Beriwin Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, Beriwin Injection may cause side effects such as weakness, nausea, restlessness, sweating, and a feeling of warmth. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor.

Inform the doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Beriwin Injection. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Tell your doctor if you take supplements, herbal products, or other medicines. Please consult your doctor if you have any concerns regarding the usage of Beriwin Injection in children.
