Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Tablets

Function and Efficacy

Menadione sodium bisulfite is a synthetic form of vitamin K (K3). Vitamin K is a necessary substance for the liver to synthesize factors II, VII, IX, and X. After vitamin K reaches the cells, it can be converted into epoxyphylloquinone under the action of microsomal cyclooxygenase, which helps to carboxylate the amino-terminal γ-carboxyglutamic acid of the precursor of factor II (non-functional precursor protein). Vitamin K deficiency can cause disorders or abnormalities in the synthesis of these coagulation factors, and clinically bleeding tendency and prolonged prothrombin time can be seen.
