Pregnant women using anticonvulsants or antituberculosis agents are advised to take orally 10-20 mg phytomenadione (10-20 drops KA-VIT®) once within the last 48 to 8 hours before delivery.

For treatment: In patients with bleeding tendencies caused by a vitamin K1 deficiency, KA-VIT drops should be dosed according to the desired effect:

To prevent minor bleeding, 1 to 5 mg of phytomenadion (1 to 5 drops of KA-VIT® drops) is usually sufficient, regardless of the patient's age.

In patients with haemorrhages caused by vitamin K1 deficiency due to coumarin derivatives overdose, practice has shown that small haemorrhages cease upon discontinuation of anticoagulant administration.

For moderate bleeding, it is recommended to take 5-10 mg phytomenadione (5 to 10 drops KA-VIT, respectively).

Warnings:

The medicinal product should not be taken if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to the active substance or to any of the other ingredients of the product.

Anti-seizure medications (anticonvulsants such as phenobarbital and phenytoin), as well as antituberculosis medications (such as isoniazid and rifampicin) can cause newborns whose mothers were treated with them during pregnancy to experience dangerous bleeding on the first day after birth.

CA-VIT® drops neutralize the action of oral anticoagulants.
