Thiamine is taken for conditions related to low levels of thiamine, including beriberi and inflammation of the nerves (neuritis) associated with pellagra or pregnancy. Thiamine is also used for digestive problems including poor appetite, ulcerative colitis, and ongoing diarrhea.
When should I take thiamine?
Thiamine tablets are usually taken once a day. Doses of 25-100 mg are sufficient to prevent mild deficiency. You can take the tablets at whatever time of day you find easiest to remember, either before or after meals.
Why do we give thiamine to alcoholics?
Thiamine supplementation reduces the risk of developing Wernicke syndrome, Korsakoff syndrome, and beriberi. Physicians working with patients with alcohol use disorders should have a high index of suspicion for Wernicke syndrome, particularly if the patient shows evidence of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, or confusion.
