Thioctic acid supplementation; treatment of inner ear hearing loss and Leigh syndrome
Thioctic acid helps in the recovery from physical fatigue during intense physical labor and is used in the treatment of subacute necrotizing encephalomyelitis, such as Leigh syndrome. It also helps with toxic inner ear hearing loss caused by streptomycin or gentamicin, as well as occupational noise-induced inner ear hearing loss. However, if no effect is observed after about one month of administration, it is advisable to discontinue use. Based on this efficacy, thioctic acid is used in the treatment of related diseases.
The usual adult dose is 10~25mg of thioctic acid once daily by intravenous injection. Adjust the dose as appropriate according to age and symptoms.
This medication is an ampoule injection, and caution is needed as glass fragments may enter when opening the container. Care must be taken, especially when used by children or the elderly, to cut the container very carefully to avoid glass splinters. A precise frequency survey of possible side effects associated with this medication has not yet been conducted. During use, symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, and diarrhea may appear. Additionally, other adverse reactions such as skin rash, headache, dizziness, and symptoms of palpitations may also be experienced. Elderly patients are likely to have reduced bodily functions, so special care should be taken, such as reducing the dosage. When administering this injection intravenously, it is advisable to infuse it as slowly as possible to reduce the risk of side effects.
Not everyone experiences these, and they can vary from person to person.
