1. What is Medebiotin Forte Solution and what is it used for

Biotin, the active component, belongs to the group of water-soluble vitamins of the B group.

Medebiotin Forte solution is indicated for the treatment of biotin deficiency states or when there is an increased need for this vitamin, in adults and children.

Biotin deficiency can cause symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis (skin eruption with inflammation and scaling), alopecia (hair loss), or glossitis (inflammatory lesion of the tongue). The need for biotin may be increased in cases such as patients undergoing prolonged treatment with antiepileptics and in parenteral nutrition (by a route other than the digestive tract) that is not properly supplemented. It is also indicated for the treatment of biotin metabolism disorders.

2. Before using Medebiotin Forte Solution

Do not use Medebiotin Forte solution

if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to biotin.

Take special care with Medebiotin Forte solution

Do not exceed the recommended doses.

Warnings and precautions

Medebiotin Forte solution for injection contains 5 mg of sodium biotin (equivalent to 4.6 mg of biotin) per 1 ml ampoule. If you are going to have laboratory tests, you should inform your doctor or the laboratory personnel that you are receiving or have recently received Medebiotin Forte solution, as biotin may affect the results of these tests. Depending on the test, the results may show false elevations or false reductions due to biotin. Your doctor may indicate that you should stop receiving Medebiotin Forte solution before having laboratory tests. You should also be aware that other products you may be taking, such as multivitamin preparations or supplements for hair, skin, and nails, may also contain biotin and affect the results of laboratory tests. Inform your doctor or laboratory personnel if you are taking this type of product.

Use of other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription.

If you are taking any medication for epilepsy, it may decrease the level of biotin in your blood.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medication.

The recommended intake of biotin through the diet is about 30 micrograms/day during pregnancy and 35 micrograms/day during breastfeeding.

Driving and using machines

Medebiotin Forte does not affect your ability to drive or use machines.

Important information about some of the components of Medebiotin Forte solution

Adults

In case of deficiency with dermatological symptoms: 5 mg per day (one ampoule), usually orally.
In metabolic disorders: 10 mg per day (2 ampoules) are recommended, although the dose may be up to 40 mg per day depending on the type of deficiency. The maintenance dose is 5 to 20 mg per day, although doses up to 40 mg or more may be necessary depending on the intensity of the condition.

Use in children

In newborns with deficiency, 5 mg per day (one ampoule) is recommended orally or by slow intravenous route, adjusting the dose according to the response obtained; older patients may require 10 mg per day.
