1. What Benfogamma is and what it is used for
Benfogamma contains benfotiamine. This is a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 that is characterised by much better absorption than the traditional water-soluble form. After absorption into the organism, benfotiamine is converted into vitamin B1. Vitamin B1 is a vital substance participating in a number of functions of the organism. The vitamin plays an important role in metabolism and participates in a number of biochemical processes where nutrients (incl. glucose) are transformed into energy. Benfogamma coated tablets are used in the treatment of vitamin B1 deficiency in adults.
2. What you need to know before you use
Benfogamma
Do not use Benfogamma:
- if you are allergic to benfotiamine, thiamine, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
Other medicines and Benfogamma
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription. 5-fluorouracil inactivates thiamine.
Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using the medicine. The recommended daily dose of vitamin B1 during pregnancy and breast-feeding is 1.4 to 1.6 mg. The dose can only be increased during pregnancy if you have a confirmed vitamin B1 deficiency, as the safety of ingesting doses larger than the recommended daily dose has not been proven. Vitamin B1 is absorbed into breast milk.
Driving and using machines
No precautions are necessary. Benfogamma contains sucrose, glucose, and macrogolglycerol hydroxystearate If you have been told by your doctor that you have intolerance to some sugars, talk to your doctor before taking this medicine. Macrogolglycerol hydroxystearate can cause stomach irritation and diarrhoea.
