How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Phytonadione 10 mg Capsules are a specialized formulation designed to treat a variety of conditions such as vitamin K deficiency, hypoprothrombinemia, and warfarin-induced coagulopathy. The active ingredient, phytonadione, is a fat-soluble vitamin that aids the body in the production of prothrombin, a protein crucial for blood clotting. Upon oral administration, phytonadione is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, initiating its action within minutes. However, this formulation is specifically designed for the aforementioned conditions and may not be effective or safe for treating other conditions.

For optimal results, patients should adhere to the dosage instructions provided by their healthcare provider. The capsules should be consumed with food or a full glass of water to facilitate proper absorption. Consistency is key, hence, the capsules should be taken at the same time each day to maintain a steady level of the medication in the body. It's worth noting that the full effect of the medication may take several days to manifest.

Prescribers should take into account the patient's medical history and any other medications they may be taking before prescribing Phytonadione 10 mg Capsules. This formulation is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to phytonadione or any other ingredients in the formulation. Regular monitoring of the patient's response to the medication is crucial, and dosage adjustments may be necessary based on the patient's condition.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
