Oral vitamin K

Oral vitamin K is a supplement used to prevent or treat a deficiency of vitamin K, which is essential for blood clotting and bone health. It is often prescribed to newborns to prevent bleeding problems, or to individuals with certain medical conditions or on specific medications. The medication is taken by mouth, usually in pill or liquid form, and is absorbed through the digestive system. Proper dosing helps ensure blood can clot normally, reducing the risk of excessive bleeding. It is generally safe when used as directed and monitored by a healthcare professional.
