Pabrinex injections contain the water-soluble vitamins C (ascorbic acid), B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (nicotinamide) and B6
(pyridoxine).
Vitamins are substances that are required by the body in very small amounts to maintain healthy growth and development.
They are in involved in numerous biological activities in the body.
The B group of vitamins are involved in the development and maintenance of the nervous system (brain and nerves) and the formation of blood cells. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and is responsible for maintaining healthy cell structure and producing an important protein, known as collagen, which is found in the skin, bone, cartilage and tendons.
Vitamins B and C cannot be produced by the body and are therefore obtained soley from the diet. Vitamin B and C deficiencies can arise
from poor diet, particularly in alcoholism or psychiatric states, following surgery or infections, or in conditions where the body
cannot effectively absorb nutrients from the gut (malabsorption). It can also occur with regular kidney haemodialysis, which removes these vitamins from the blood.
Pabrinex injection is given to rapidly replace vitamins B and C in people with severe deficiencies of these vitamins.
There are two forms of Pabrinex injection: - one is solely for injecting into the veins (intravenous use) and the other for injecting into the muscle(intramuscular use).
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Certain medicines should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, other medicines may be safely used in pregnancy or breastfeeding providing the benefits to the mother outweigh the risks to the unborn baby. Always inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, before using any medicine.
No harmful effects have been seen when this medicine has been given at recommended doses to treat deficiencies in pregnant or breastfeeding mothers.
However, as with all medicines it should be used with caution and only if the benefits to the mother outweigh any potential risks to the baby.
Mothers who are severely thiamine-deficient (for example due to alcoholism) should avoid breastfeeding, because their breast milk may contain a toxic substance that could be harmful to their baby.
