Clinical Information
Administer 1-2 ml by slow intravenous injection once daily as directed by your healthcare provider. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not double doses. Discuss duration of treatment with your doctor.
Alpha lipoic acid works by enhancing and recycling other antioxidants, like vitamins C and E, supporting cellular energy production and glucose transport into cells. It mimics insulin, improving glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Effects can take a few weeks to be noticeable, with benefits seen in energy levels and blood sugar regulation.
Do not use if you are allergic to alpha lipoic acid or any other components of this injection. Not recommended for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women unless advised by your doctor. Consult a doctor if you have liver or kidney disease.
ALA may interact with diabetes medications, increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. Inform your doctor about all drugs and supplements you are using. Avoid excessive alcohol as it can reduce the effectiveness of ALA and increase side effect risks.
Common side effects include nausea, skin rash, and dizziness. These affect 1-10 in 100 people. Less common are low blood sugar symptoms like headache, weakness, or jitteriness. Contact your healthcare provider if side effects persist or worsen.
Store at room temperature (59-77°F, 15-25°C) in its original vial. Keep protected from light and do not freeze. Ensure vial is tightly sealed when not in use. Dispose of through proper take-back programs or as advised by your pharmacist.
