Vitamin K1 Cheplapharm 10mg/1ml helps prevent and treat bleeding due to vitamin K deficiency. Drinkable or injectable form, suitable for adults and children, on prescription.
Vitamin K plays a central role in the body's natural blood clotting mechanisms. When the body lacks it, blood can have greater difficulty forming a stable clot, increasing the risk of bleeding. Vitamin K1 Cheplapharm 10mg/1ml provides a directly usable form of vitamin K1, called phytomenadione, to help your body regain balanced hemostatic function.
Coagulation can be compared to a construction site where several workers have to work together. Without vitamin K, some essential workers are missing, slowing down or preventing the construction of the "plug" that stops bleeding. By providing this vitamin, you help the body to put these workers back on the job and restart the coagulation chain.
This medicine is used in adults and children alike, to treat and prevent hemorrhage due to vitamin K deficiency. It is used when the body does not produce enough vitamin K, or when its use is disturbed, notably in certain medical contexts or associated treatments.
Its primary action is to support coagulation balance and prevent bleeding linked to vitamin deficiency. It thus helps maintain functional hemostasis, essential for limiting blood loss and promoting normal recovery.
Thanks to its oral or injectable form, this medication can be adapted to different clinical situations, according to the doctor's advice. It is a reliable solution for promoting the proper functioning of the hemostatic system and supporting patients at risk of deficiency.
For warnings, precautions and contraindications, please refer to the Vitamine K1 Cheplapharm 10 mg/1ml leaflet.
In addition, vitamin K1 is also available in another dosage, more suitable for infants: vitamin K1 Cheplapharm 2mg/0,2ml. This alternative makes it possible to adapt intake precisely to age and needs, creating a coherent synergy of management.
Dosage and duration of treatment vary according to the patient's age, pathology, route of administration and biological results. Always ask your doctor for advice before use.
For oral administration, use a syringe: after opening the ampoule, tap the top to dispense the liquid. Hold the ampoule with the white dot facing upwards, protect it with a compress and press backwards to open it. Draw up the prescribed quantity with a needle-free syringe, instill the contents into the mouth, then rinse out.
Injections should only be administered by a doctor or nurse.

This medicine contains natural vitamin K1. This vitamin is involved in the formation of blood clots, enabling the body to fight haemorrhage. It is normally supplied by the diet, and deficiencies only occur in very specific situations: intestinal disease which reduces its absorption, prolonged intake of certain powerful antibiotics, oral anticoagulants.
It is used in the treatment and prevention of haemorrhage in newborns and haemorrhage due to vitamin K deficiency (caused by certain drugs or intestinal disease).

Substance capable of blocking the multiplication of certain bacteria or killing them. The spectrum of an antibiotic is the set of bacteria on which the product is usually active. Unlike bacteria, viruses are not sensitive to antibiotics. The first antibiotics were extracted from fungal cultures: penicillium (penicillin), streptomyces (streptomycin). Today, they are produced by chemical synthesis. Antibiotics are divided into families: penicillins, cephalosporins, macrolides, tetracyclines (cyclins), sulfonamides, aminoglycosides, lincosanides, phenicoles, polymyxins, quinolones, imidazoles and others.
Inappropriate use of antibiotics can encourage the emergence of resistance: use antibiotics only when prescribed by a doctor, respect their dosage and duration, and do not give or advise another person to take an antibiotic you have been prescribed.

A drug that prevents blood from clotting, thus preventing the formation of clots in blood vessels.
Anticoagulants are mainly used to treat or prevent phlebitis and pulmonary embolism, particularly after surgery. They are also used to prevent the formation of clots in the heart during rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation, or in patients with artificial heart valves.
There are three categories of anticoagulants:
Anticoagulants should not be confused with antiaggregants such as aspirin, which fight blood clots by a different mechanism and do not have the same indications.
See article: Anticoagulant treatments
Deficiency usually involving nutrients, vitamins, minerals, etc. A diversified diet is the best way to prevent deficiencies.
Appearance of pimples or patches on the skin. These lesions may be caused by food or medication, and may reflect an allergy or toxic effect. Many viruses can also cause rashes: rubella, roseola and measles are the best known.
Abbreviation for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, an enzyme normally present in red blood cells. Its congenital absence (deficiency) is responsible for a disease called favism; it prohibits the use of certain drugs.
Abnormal accumulation of blood inside the body.
See article: Hematoma and ecchymosis
Loss of blood from an artery or vein. A hemorrhage can be external or internal and go unnoticed.
Abbreviation for intramuscular.
The liver, the body's chemical factory, is responsible for the elimination or destruction of many drugs.
Certain substances stimulate the hepatic enzymes that perform this elimination function. These substances are enzyme inducers, and their consumption can reduce the blood concentration of drugs sensitive to their action, diminishing or even canceling their effect. Increasing the dosage of the drug in question can often compensate for the effect of taking an enzyme inducer, but the risk of ineffectiveness sometimes leads us to advise against combining them. This is the case with oral contraceptives ("pills"), which may lose their efficacy if combined with regular use of an enzyme inducer.
The risk is mentioned in the Drug Interactions section when a drug's action is likely to be significantly altered by the intake of an enzyme inducer.
The main enzyme inducers are generally drugs themselves:
Other substances may have an enzyme-inducing effect:
Injection of a drug into a muscle, usually in the buttock. The effect of the drug, which only gradually enters the bloodstream, is delayed but prolonged. The skin must be disinfected beforehand, as this deep injection exposes it to the risk of abscess. Painful injections depend above all on the nature of the product used. This route of administration is contraindicated for haemophiliacs and people on anticoagulant therapy, as it exposes them to the risk of buttock haematoma.
Abbreviation: IM.
Injection of a drug into a vein, usually at the elbow, after disinfecting the skin. In the case of direct intravenous injection using a syringe, the effect of the medication is immediate but brief. Infusion, on the other hand, enables continuous, controlled administration of the active substance, diluted in a vial of serum.
Abbreviation: IV.
Lecithins are lipids (fats) which have the particularity of allowing the mixing of fats and water (forming an emulsion). For example, egg yolk is essentially composed of lecithins, whose properties are put to good use in making mayonnaise. Lecithin extracted from soya (E422) is used as an excipient (a component with no therapeutic activity) in certain drugs. Some people are allergic to lecithins (including those in egg yolks) and may react to those contained in these medications.
Child aged between one and 30 months. A child less than one month old is a newborn.
A child less than one month old.
Allergic reaction generally affecting the face. Quincke's edema is characterized by swelling that can be spectacular. The eyelids are often the first to be affected. In rare cases, when the swelling reaches the throat, respiratory problems may occur and urgent treatment is required.
Reaction caused by the body's hypersensitivity to a drug. Allergic reactions can take a variety of forms: urticaria, angioedema, eczema, measles-like rash and so on. Anaphylactic shock is a generalized allergic reaction that causes a sudden drop in blood pressure.

A substance essential for growth and proper functioning of the body. Vitamin requirements are normally covered by a varied diet. In developed countries, only vitamin D deficiency in young children or elderly people with little exposure to sunlight justifies systematic supplementation. Intake in excess of requirements, particularly through medication, can lead to overdosage and various disorders (mainly vitamins A and D).
