Uses of Tiam 100 Capsule

Treatment of Thiamine deficiency, Beri-Beri, Wernicke's encephalopathy and Korsakoff's Psychosis

Medicinal Benefits

Tiam 100 Capsule contains Thiamine. It is used to address thiamine deficiency resulting from disease, drugs, or alcoholism. It is also used to treat Beri-Beri, Wernicke’s encephalopathy, Korsakoff’s psychosis, and various chronic conditions. Thiamine binds with ATP (the energy currency of the cell) and forms thiamine diphosphate, a molecule that mediates various processes in energy-producing pathways in the body, such as carbohydrate metabolism and hexose-uptake in the HMP pathway. Thereby, thiamine converts food into energy and finds application in the treatment of various states produced by its deficiency.
