Phytonadione Vitamin K Injection for Newborn Babies 1 mg/0.5 mL Dose Neonatal Concentration 0.5 mL x 10/Box (RX)

Phytonadione (Vitamin K1) Injection is a medication used to treat or prevent bleeding in people with low levels of vitamin K. Vitamin K is essential for your blood to clot properly.

Uses

• Prevention and treatment of Vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB) in newborns — newborns are often given a single dose shortly after birth to prevent dangerous bleeding.
• Reversal of bleeding or risk of bleeding due to:
  • Warfarin (Coumadin®) or other coumarin anticoagulant overdose/toxicity
  • Malabsorption disorders causing low vitamin K (such as obstructive jaundice, celiac disease, or cystic fibrosis)
  • Severe liver disease impairing vitamin K absorption

What is it?

• Phytonadione is the synthetic form of Vitamin K1.
• When given by injection, it helps the liver produce the blood clotting factors needed to stop bleeding.

Phytonadione (Vitamin K1) Injection 1 mg/0.5 mL Neonatal Concentration by Cipla USA is the gold standard for preventing Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding (VKDB) in newborns. Recommended by leading pediatricians and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), this neonatal vitamin K injection provides essential, life-saving protection against internal bleeding in the first weeks of life. Each single-use 0.5 mL dose is pre-measured for precise administration right after birth, ensuring safety and efficacy for hospital neonatal units and maternity care providers.

How is it given?

• Routes:
  • Intramuscularly (IM, into a muscle; common for newborns)
  • Subcutaneously (under the skin)
  • Intravenously (IV, into a vein; used in urgent situations but with caution because of rare severe allergic reactions)
• Dose and frequency: Depends on the age, condition, and reason for use.

How does it work?

• It promotes the production of clotting factors in the liver, helping blood to clot and preventing or treating uncontrolled bleeding.
