Vitamin K1 ^Rx

Vitamin K1 Capsules

Vitamin K1, phytonadione, is a synthetic version of vitamin K, which is naturally found in the body and is an import role in blood clotting. Vitamin K1 is used in the treatment of vitamin K deficiency, blood and blood clotting disorders, and rodenticide poisoning. Certain rodenticides can contain a coumarin based anticoagulant, such as warfarin, that depletes vitamin K and causes death by internal bleeding if ingested. If your pet has accidentally eaten a rodenticide poison or has been diagnosed with a clotting disorder, your veterinarian may prescribe Vitamin K1 for treatment. Available in 25mg and 50mg capsules. Consult with your veterinarian before administering this medication.

• Read and follow the prescription label carefully for storage information, possible side effects, and drug interactions.
• Give the exact amount prescribed and only as often as directed.
• Do not skip doses or stop giving the medication without consulting your veterinarian.
