1. WHAT THIAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE TABLETS ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE USED FOR

Thiamine Hydrochloride Tablets are vitamin tablets which contain thiamine (vitamin B1). They are used to treat thiamine deficiency (when your body does not have enough of the vitamin). Even though thiamine is found naturally in many foods (especially in yeast, wholegrain cereals, meats and beans), sometimes your body requires a supplement. This may be because your diet does not contain enough thiamine or you may not be absorbing it from your diet effectively. You may also have a special need for extra thiamine, especially if you are excreting it quickly from your body (e.g. in your urine). By taking Thiamine Hydrochloride Tablets, you can make sure you have sufficient thiamine in your diet.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription, such as vitamins or herbal preparations which you have bought yourself. Certain medicines can reduce the effect of your thiamine tablets.
