Thioctic acid supplementation; treatment of Leigh syndrome and inner ear hearing loss
Thioctic acid helps provide necessary nutrition during intense physical labor and is used in the treatment of rare neurological disorders such as Leigh syndrome. It is also effective for treating inner ear hearing loss caused by streptomycin or gentamicin and occupational noise-induced hearing loss. If no effect is observed within one month of taking the medication, it is advisable not to continue using it. This medication aids in improving nerve function and treating hearing loss.
As thioctic acid, the usual adult dose is 10~25mg intravenously once daily. However, the dose may be adjusted appropriately according to age and symptoms.
