Application areas
Mode of action
How does the ingredient of the medicine work?The active ingredient benfotiamine is a fat-soluble precursor (prodrug) of thiamine (vitamin B1) and is very well absorbed in the body and quickly converted into its effective form. Like thiamine (vitamin B1), the active ingredient is essential for the functioning of the nervous system and plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism.
Composition
Contraindications
What speaks against an application?- Hypersensitivity to the ingredients
What about pregnancy and lactation?
- Pregnancy: consult your doctor. Various considerations play a role in whether and how the drug can be used during pregnancy.
- Breast-feeding: consult your doctor or pharmacist. He will examine your particular starting position and advise you accordingly as to whether and how you can continue breastfeeding.
If you have been prescribed the drug despite a contraindication, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. The therapeutic benefit can be higher than the risk that the use entails in the event of a contraindication.
Side effects
What adverse effects may occur?- Hypersensitivity
- Nettle rash (urticaria)
- Skin rash
- Disease of the gastrointestinal tract
- Nausea
- Gastrointestinal complaints
If you notice any discomfort or changes during treatment, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
For the information at this point, side effects are primarily taken into account that occur in at least one in 1,000 patients treated.
Hints
What should you consider?- Be careful if you are allergic to binding agents (e.g. carboxymethyl cellulose with the E number E 466)!
- Be careful if you are allergic to the sweetener saccharin (E number E 954)!
- There may be medicines with which interactions occur. You should therefore generally tell your doctor or pharmacist about any other medicine you are already using before starting treatment with a new medicine. This also applies to medicines that you buy yourself, use only occasionally or have been using for some time.
