Thioctic acid supplementation; treatment of inner ear hearing loss and Leigh syndrome
Thioctic acid helps supply when demand in the body increases during intense physical labor, and is used for the treatment of subacute necrotizing encephalomyelitis such as Leigh syndrome. It is also effective in treating toxic cochlear hearing loss caused by streptomycin or kanamycin, as well as noise-induced cochlear hearing loss. If no effect is observed after approximately 1 month of administration, continued use is not recommended. This medication helps improve symptoms such as hearing loss through cautious use.
The usual adult dose is 10~25mg of thioctic acid administered by intravenous injection once daily. However, adjust the dose as appropriate according to age and symptoms.

If glass fragments enter the body, side effects may occur, so the container should be carefully cut for use. Extra caution is needed when administering to children or elderly patients. Sufficient research on potential side effects while using this medication has not yet been conducted. However, some patients may experience digestive symptoms such as decreased appetite, nausea, or diarrhea. Additionally, reports of rash, headache, dizziness, and rapid heartbeat have been documented. Since older individuals may have reduced bodily functions, caution should be exercised, such as reducing the dosage when administering this medication. When injecting this medication intravenously, it is advisable to inject slowly as much as possible. Rapid injection may put a burden on the body, so care should be taken.
