Common signs and symptoms of Phytomenadione deficiency may include easy bruising, excessive and abnormal bleeding, and haemorrhage. Kenadion 10 mg Tablet is an important vitamin which is essential for blood clotting. The deficiency can also lead to abnormal and uncontrollable bleeding that can even endanger life.
Kenadion 10 mg Tablet can be used in children with caution. Your doctor may make dose adjustments based on the age, weight, and health condition of your child.
Taking broad-spectrum antibiotics (mainly cephalosporins) may destroy Phytomenadione-producing bacteria in the gut, potentially decreasing Kenadion 10 mg Tablet levels, especially if you take the antibiotics for more than a few weeks. People who have a poor appetite while using long-term antibiotics may be at greater risk for a deficiency and may benefit from a vitamin K supplement.
Phytomenadione can be found in green leafy vegetables (such as spinach and cabbage), soybean, milk, cheese, eggs, chicken, lamb, salmon, etc. Owing to the numerous benefits, it is advisable to include one or multiple food items rich in Phytomenadione in everyday diet to prevent its deficiency.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Vitamin K deficiency is caused by insufficient dietary intake, inadequate absorption, and decreased storage of the vitamin due to liver disease, but it may also be caused by decreased production of vitamin K in the intestines. Low vitamin K levels can lead to many health problems like low bone mass density, increased fractures, increased risk of uncontrolled bleeding, and vitamin K deficiency bleeding (a bleeding problem that occurs in newborns during the first few days of life). Symptoms of vitamin K deficiency include easy bruising, oozing from the nose or gums, excessive bleeding from wounds, punctures, and injection or surgical sites, heavy menstrual periods, and blood in the urine and/or stool.
