Adult dosage

The usual adult dose is 10~25mg of thioctic acid, administered by intravenous injection once daily. The dose may be adjusted appropriately according to age and symptoms.

This medication comes in an ampule form, so care should be taken when opening the injection container to avoid glass fragments. Extra caution is needed when administering to children or the elderly. Although a clear investigation into possible side effects has not yet been conducted, symptoms such as decreased appetite, nausea, and diarrhea may occur within the digestive system. Additionally, other symptoms such as skin rashes, headaches, dizziness, and a feeling of rapid heartbeat may also be experienced. For elderly patients, body functions may be weakened, so dosage adjustments may be necessary when administering this medication. When administered via intravenous injection, it should be infused as slowly as possible to avoid putting strain on the body.
