Vitamin K, Mephyton (vitamin K1 (phytonadione)) dosing, indications, interactions, adverse effects, and more

2022-08-13 04:38:28 By : Ms. Helen Chen

2.5-10 mg PO/SC; may be increased PRN to 25 mg or, rarely, to 50 mg; may be repeated in 12-48 hours

Omit 1-2 doses, or hold warfarin; monitor INR and adjust warfarin dose accordingly

INR 4.5-10, no bleeding: 2012 ACCP guidelines suggest against routine use; 2008 ACCP guidelines suggest considering vitamin K1 (phytonadione) 1-2.5 mg PO once

INR >10, no bleeding: 2012 ACCP guidelines recommend vitamin K1 PO (dose not specified); 2008 ACCP guidelines suggest 2.5-5 mg PO once; INR reduction observed within 24-48 hr, monitor INR and give additional vitamin K if needed

Minor bleeding, any elevated INR: Consider 2.5-5 mg PO once; may repeat if needed after 24 hr

Major bleeding, any elevated INR: 2012 ACCP guidelines recommend prothrombin complex concentrate, human (PCC, Kcentra) plus vitamin K1 5-10 mg IV (dilute in 50 mL IV fluid and infuse over 20 min)

NOTE: High vitamin K doses (ie, 10 mg or more) may cause warfarin resistance for a week or more; consider using heparin, LMWH, or direct thrombin inhibitors to provide adequate thrombosis prophylaxis in clinical conditions requiring chronic anticoagulation therapy (eg, atrial fibrillation)

PO dose may be repeated in 12-48 hr and SC/IV/IM dose in 6-8 hr if necessary

Avoid IM route; increases risk of hematoma formation

Oral route more effective than SC route in nonbleeding patients in warfarin associated coagulopathy

IV rate not to exceed 1 mg/min

May use IV route in selected nonbleeding patients; use IV route in patients with major bleeding due to warfarin associated coagulopathy

Use of high vitamin K doses (10-15 mg) may cause warfarin resistance for ≥1 week

Prophylaxis: 0.5-1 mg IM within 1 hr of birth

Treatment: 1 mg/dose/day SC; my require higher doses if mother has been receiving oral anticoagulants

Anaphylaxis with too-rapid IV administration (has resulted in death)

Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: Erythema, pruritic plaques

Severe reactions, including fatalities, have occurred during and immediately after IV administration, even when precautions have been taken with proper dilution and avoidance of rapid infusion

Severe reactions also reported after IM administration; typically, these severe reactions involve hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis and include shock and cardiac or respiratory arrest

IV/IM reactions may occur with first dose (no prior exposure to phytonadione)

Restrict use of IV/IM routes to situations where SC administration is not feasible and serious risk involved is considered justified

Rapid IV administration may cause potentially fatal anaphylaxis

Protect from light; agent is rapidly degraded

Avoid IM route if patients is bleeding or in 3rd trimester of pregnancy

Administer phtonadione to quickly lower INR into safe range in patients receiving vitamin K antagonists

Other forms of vitamin K (eg, menadione) are not effective in these settings; only vitamin K1 (ie, phytonadione) should be used

Time of onset depends on rate of synthesis of clotting factors

If initial doses do not reverse coagulopathy, higher doses are not likely to have any effect; inefective in hereditary hypoprothrombinemia

Longer treatment durations (up to months) and much higher doses required in patients exposed to long-acting anticoagulant rodenticide

Hemolysis, hyperbilirubinemia, and jaundice reported in newborns treated with larger than recommended doses; use caution

Parenteral administration may cause cutaneous reactions; reactions have included eczematous reactions, scleroderma-like patches, urticaria, and delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions; time of onset ranged from 1 day to a year after parenteral administration; discontinue therapy for skin reactions and institute medical management

Serious adverse reactions including fatal reactions and “gasping syndrome” reported in premature neonates and infants in the intensive care unit who received drugs containing benzyl alcohol as a preservative; preterm, low-birth weight infants may be more likely to develop these reactions because they may be less able to metabolize benzyl alcohol; preterm, low-birth weight infants may be more likely to develop these reactions because they may be less able to metabolize benzyl alcohol; use benzyl alcohol-free formulations in neonates and infants, if available

The drug formulation contains benzyl alcohol, which has been associated with gasping syndrome in neonates; the preservative benzyl alcohol can cause serious adverse events and death when administered intravenously to neonates and infants; if therapy is needed during pregnancy, consider using a benzyl alcohol-free formulation; published studies with the use of phytonadione during pregnancy have not reported a clear association with phytonadione and adverse developmental outcomes; there are maternal and fetal risks associated with vitamin K deficiency during pregnancy; animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with phytonadione

Pregnant women with vitamin K deficiency hypoprothrombinemia may be at an increased risk for bleeding diatheses during pregnancy and hemorrhagic events at delivery; subclinical maternal vitamin K deficiency during pregnancy has been implicated in rare cases of fetal intracranial hemorrhage

The drug formulation contains benzyl alcohol; if available, a Preservative-Free formulation is recommended when therapy is needed during lactation; phytonadione is present in breastmilk; there are no data on effects of therapy on the breastfed child or on milk production; the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the clinical need for therapy and any potential adverse effects on breastfed child from the drug or from the underlying maternal condition

A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

Promotes hepatic synthesis of clotting factors II, VII, IX, X (exact mechanism is unknown)

Onset: 6-10 hr (PO); 1-2 hr (IV)

Peak effect: 24-48 hr (PO); 12-14 hr (IV)

Dilute in preservative-free NS, D5W, or D5NS and infuse slowly; infusion rate not to exceed 1 mg/min

IV route should be used only if administration by another route is not feasible

Protect injection emulsion from light at all times

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Mephyton

USES: Vitamin K is used to treat and prevent low levels of certain substances (blood clotting factors) that your body naturally produces. These substances help your blood to thicken and stop bleeding normally (such as after an accidental cut or injury). Low levels of blood clotting factors increase the risk for unusual bleeding. Low levels may be caused by certain medications (such as warfarin) or medical conditions (such as obstructive jaundice). Vitamin K helps to treat and prevent unusual bleeding by increasing the body's production of blood clotting factors.

HOW TO USE: If you are taking the over-the-counter product to self-treat, read all directions on the product package before taking this medication. If you have any questions, consult your pharmacist. If your doctor has prescribed this medication, take it as directed.If you are using the rapidly-dissolving tablets, place under your tongue to dissolve, then swallow with or without water. Some brands may also be swallowed whole.The dosage is based on your age, medical condition and response to treatment. Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often or for longer than directed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and your risk of side effects will increase.If you are using a certain "blood thinner" drug (warfarin), vitamin K can decrease the effects of warfarin for up to 2 weeks. Be sure to take your vitamin K and warfarin exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.If you develop easy bruising or bleeding, or if you think you may have a serious medical problem, get medical help right away. You may need another dose of vitamin K.
