Buy Vitamin K1

Vitamin K1 (Phytonadione) is primarily used to manage bleeding disorders such as hemorrhagic disease of the newborn caused by vitamin K deficiency or reduction in clotting factors such as prothrombin. It is also used to reverse the effects of anticoagulants like warfarin in cases of overdose. Its active ingredient is phytonadione, a fat-soluble compound. As part of the vitamin K family, it falls under the class of hemostatic agents. Vitamin K1 promotes the synthesis of clotting factors (II, VII, IX, X) in the liver, which are necessary for blood coagulation. It activates specific proteins in the clotting cascade, restoring normal clot formation and preventing excessive bleeding.

Clinical studies demonstrate that vitamin K1 (phytonadione) effectively reverses excessive anticoagulation, especially in patients on warfarin. However, it carries a rare risk of severe allergic reactions, such as bronchospasm and cardiac arrest, mainly when the injection contains polyoxyethylated castor oil. To reduce these risks, subcutaneous or intramuscular administration is often preferred, and it is best administered under proper precautions by a qualified healthcare provider (source).
