Beriberi treatment:
Initial: IM, IV (preferred routes if critically ill), Oral: 100 to 200 mg 3 times daily for 2 to 3 days, followed by maintenance therapy (Ref).
Maintenance: Oral: 5 to 100 mg once daily until no longer at risk for deficiency (Ref). Note: Doses lower than 100 mg may be obtained in a multivitamin formulation.
Thiamine supplementation, including prevention of Wernicke encephalopathy:
Note: Patients at high risk for developing thiamine deficiency include those with alcohol use disorder, GI disease and/or surgery (including bariatric surgery), hyperemesis gravidarum, or malignancy (Ref).
Wernicke encephalopathy, prevention, including those with alcohol withdrawal syndrome (off label): IV (preferred route), Oral, IM: 100 to 200 mg once daily for 3 to 5 days (Ref). Note: Administration prior to dextrose is recommended when feasible (Ref). Higher doses are used in patients for treatment of suspected or confirmed Wernicke encephalopathy (see “Wernicke Encephalopathy Treatment”).
Bariatric surgery, postoperative (off label): Oral: 12 to 100 mg/day in 1 or 2 divided doses; continue indefinitely. Note: Doses lower than 100 mg may be obtained in a multivitamin formulation (Ref).
Parenteral nutrition supplementation: Continuous IV infusion: 6 mg/day (Ref). In some situations (eg, prevention of refeeding syndrome or Wernicke encephalopathy in patients at risk), a higher dose of thiamine (eg, up to 100 to 200 mg/day) is generally given separately prior to starting and during parenteral nutrition (PN) (Ref). May incorporate thiamine at doses >6 mg/day into the PN solution; however, evidence regarding physical and chemical stability of higher thiamine doses in PN is very limited (Ref).
Wernicke encephalopathy, treatment:
Initial: Note: Oral administration should not be used for initial treatment (Ref).
IV (preferred route), IM: 200 to 500 mg 3 times daily for 2 to 7 days, followed by 250 mg once daily for an additional 3 to 5 days, followed by maintenance therapy (Ref). Note: Administration prior to dextrose is recommended when feasible (Ref). If using the IV route, guidelines suggest administering over 30 minutes, though various administration times have been reported (Ref).
Maintenance: Oral: 100 mg daily until no longer at risk for deficiency (Ref).

Note: Although the pharmacokinetics of thiamine in kidney impairment have not been studied, excess thiamine is generally excreted in the urine, so it is likely that there are pharmacokinetic differences between the general population and those with kidney impairment. Although no dosage adjustments are likely to be necessary in acute cases of thiamine deficiency, more chronic treatment may require measurement of thiamine concentrations to avoid under or over treatment (Ref).
Altered kidney function: No dosage adjustment likely to be necessary for any degree of kidney impairment (Ref).
Hemodialysis, intermittent (thrice weekly): Dialyzable (4% to 49% (Ref): No dosage adjustment likely to be necessary (Ref). When scheduled dose falls on a hemodialysis day, administer after hemodialysis.
Peritoneal dialysis: Dialyzable (% unknown): No dosage adjustment likely to be necessary (Ref).
CRRT: No dosage adjustment likely to be necessary (Ref).
PIRRT (eg, sustained, low-efficiency diafiltration): No dosage adjustment likely to be necessary (Ref).
There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling.
Refer to adult dosing.

Thiamine deficiency; treatment: Note: Thiamine deficiency is largely associated with severely malnourished states, including malignancy, surgery, or patient diet consisting mostly of polished rice or other thiamine-deficient food sources (Ref).
Infants: Severe deficiency (eg, beriberi, Wernicke encephalopathy): Various regimens reported; optimal dose not established:
Initial dose: IV, IM: 100 mg once daily is most often reported in the literature; reported dose range: 25 to 100 mg once daily or 75 mg twice daily; reported durations varied from a single one-time dose to daily dosing for up to 7 days; often followed by oral maintenance therapy (Ref); some experts recommend 25 to 50 mg IV once, followed by 10 mg IM once daily for 7 days and then transition to oral therapy (Ref).
Maintenance dose: Oral: 10 mg once daily is often reported; doses ranging from 3 to 25 mg/day have been used; duration is variable and has been reported up to 3 months (Ref); WHO recommends 3 to 5 mg once daily for at least 6 weeks (Ref).
Children and Adolescents: Various regimens reported; optimal dose not established:
Initial dose: IV, IM: 100 mg once daily for up to 7 days is the most commonly reported regimen in case reports; higher doses of 150 mg once daily for 3 days followed by 100 mg daily have been reported; some experts recommend 10 to 25 mg IV once daily for 2 weeks followed by oral maintenance therapy (Ref).
Maintenance dose: Oral: 3 to 10 mg once daily (Ref).
Refeeding syndrome, treatment in at-risk patients: Limited data available: Note: Administer before feeding or prior to initiating dextrose-containing IV fluids in high-risk patients.

The following adverse drug reactions and incidences are derived from product labeling unless otherwise specified. Adverse reactions reported with injection. Frequency not defined.
Central nervous system: Flushing sensation, restlessness
Dermatologic: Diaphoresis, pruritus, skin sclerosis (at the injection site following IM administration), urticaria
Gastrointestinal: Nausea
Hematologic & oncologic: Hemorrhage (into the gastrointestinal tract)
Hypersensitivity: Anaphylaxis (following IV administration), angioedema, hypersensitivity reaction (following IV administration)
Local: Tenderness at injection site (following IM administration)
Neuromuscular & skeletal: Weakness
Respiratory: Cyanosis, pharyngeal edema, pulmonary edema
Hypersensitivity to thiamine or any component of the formulation
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Hypersensitivity reactions: Have been reported following repeated parenteral doses; consider skin test in individuals with history of allergic reactions.
Concurrent drug therapy issues:
• Dextrose: Administration of dextrose may precipitate acute symptoms of thiamine deficiency; use caution when thiamine status is marginal or suspect.
Dosage form specific issues:
• Aluminum: The parenteral product may contain aluminum; toxic aluminum concentrations may be seen with high doses, prolonged use, or renal dysfunction. Premature neonates are at higher risk due to immature renal function and aluminum intake from other parenteral sources. Parenteral aluminum exposure of >4 to 5 mcg/kg/day is associated with CNS and bone toxicity; tissue loading may occur at lower doses (Federal Register 2002).
Other warnings/precautions:
• Parenteral administration: Use with caution with parenteral route (especially IV) of administration.
• Vitamin deficiency: Single vitamin deficiency is rare; evaluate for other deficiencies.

IM, IV: Parenteral form may be administered by IM or IV injection. Various rates of IV administration have been reported, and the optimal administration rate is unknown; refer to institutional protocols. For example, an extended infusion time (eg, over 15 to 30 minutes) has been suggested for doses ≥100 mg; limited data suggest that doses up to 500 mg have been safely administered via IV push (over 1 to 2 minutes), though efficacy data are lacking (Ref). If thiamine and nutrition support with parenteral carbohydrates (eg, glucose, dextrose) are both indicated, thiamine should be administered prior to parenteral carbohydrate solutions to prevent precipitation of acute symptoms of thiamine deficiency when feasible (Ref).
Oral: May administer with or without food (Ref).
Parenteral: May be administered by IM or IV injection. For IV administration, various rates of administration have been reported; most common reported rate in pediatric patients is 100 mg over 30 minutes (Ref); administration over 20 minutes and 60 minutes has also been described (Ref). Thiamine administration may be considered prior to feeding or administration of dextrose-containing IV fluids in high-risk patients (eg, malnourished patients) to prevent precipitation of acute symptoms of thiamine deficiency (Ref).

Etamsylate: May diminish the therapeutic effect of Thiamine. Management: If a patient is to receive intravenous (IV) etamsylate and an IV infusion containing thiamine, administer etamsylate first to avoid thiamine degradation by sulfites contained in the etamsylate product. Risk D: Consider therapy modification
Patiromer: May decrease the serum concentration of Thiamine. Management: Administer oral thiamine at least 3 hours before or 3 hours after patiromer. Risk D: Consider therapy modification
Food: High carbohydrate diets may increase thiamine requirement.
Water soluble vitamins cross the placenta. Thiamine requirements are increased in during pregnancy (IOM 1998).
Pregnant females are at increased risk of thiamine deficiency when prolonged nausea and vomiting (including hyperemesis gravidarum) occurs; deficiency may present as a polyneuropathy or Wernicke encephalopathy (Chiossi 2006; Karjalainen 1965; WHO 1999).
Thiamine supplementation is recommended in pregnant females with prolonged vomiting. Initial treatment with IV thiamine is needed when Wernicke encephalopathy is suspected. Oral, IM, or IV therapy may be considered depending on severity of thiamine deficiency (Berdai 2016; Chiossi 2006; Palacios-Marqués 2012). When intravenous hydration is used in the management of hyperemesis gravidarum, thiamine should be administered prior to infusing dextrose to prevent Wernicke encephalopathy (ACOG 189 2018).
Thiamine is present in breast milk (IOM 1998).
Thiamine concentrations in breast milk are similar in well-nourished mothers who use supplements and those that do not (IOM 1998).
Thiamine requirements are increased in breastfeeding females (IOM 1998). Females with a thiamine deficiency may lead to a deficiency in exclusively breastfed infants (Barennes 2015; Coats 2012). When a deficiency is present, supplementation of both the mother and infant is recommended (WHO 1999)
Dietary sources include legumes, pork, beef, whole grains, yeast, and fresh vegetables. A deficiency state can occur in as little as 3 weeks following total dietary absence.
