📖 What it is MedlinePlus · NLM

Phytonadione injection is used to prevent bleeding in people with blood clotting problems or too little vitamin K in the body. Phytonadione injection is also used to prevent and treat bleeding in newborn babies. Phytonadione is in a class of medications called vitamins. It works by providing vitamin K that is needed for blood to clot normally in the body.

Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

WARNING: HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS WITH INTRAVENOUS AND INTRAMUSCULAR USE Fatal hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have occurred during and immediately after intravenous and intramuscular injection of Vitamin K 1 Injection. Reactions have occurred despite dilution to avoid rapid intravenous infusion and upon first dose. Avoid the intravenous and intramuscular routes of administration unless the subcutaneous route is not feasible and the serious risk is justified [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .

WARNING: HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS WITH INTRAVENOUS AND INTRAMUSCULAR USE See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning. Fatal hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have occurred during and immediately after INTRAVENOUS and INTRAMUSCULAR injection of Vitamin K 1 Injection. Reactions have occurred despite dilution to avoid rapid infusion and upon first and subsequent doses.

Avoid the intravenous and intramuscular routes of administration unless the subcutaneous route is not feasible and the serious risk is justified. ( 5.1 )

🎯 Indications and Usage ~1 min read ▾

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Vitamin K 1 Injection is a vitamin K replacement indicated for the treatment of the following coagulation disorders which are due to faulty formation of factors II, VII, IX and X when caused by vitamin K deficiency or interference with vitamin K activity. • Anticoagulant-induced hypoprothrombinemia deficiency caused by coumarin or indanedione derivatives. ( 1.1 ) • Hypoprothrombinemia due to antibacterial therapy. ( 1.1 ) • Hypoprothrombinemia secondary to factors limiting absorption or synthesis of vitamin K, e.g., obstructive jaundice, biliary fistula, sprue, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, intestinal resection, cystic fibrosis of the pancreas, and regional enteritis.

( 1.1 ) • Other drug-induced hypoprothrombinemia where it is definitely shown that the result is due to interference with vitamin K metabolism, e.g., salicylates. ( 1.1 ) Vitamin K 1 Injection is indicated for prophylaxis and treatment of vitamin K-deficiency bleeding in neonates. ( 1.2 )

1.1Treatment of Hypoprothrombinemia Due to Vitamin K Deficiency or Interference Vitamin K 1 Injection is indicated for the treatment of the following coagulation disorders which are due to faulty formation of factors II, VII, IX and X when caused by vitamin K deficiency or interference with vitamin K activity: • anticoagulant-induced hypoprothrombinemia caused by coumarin or indanedione derivatives; • hypoprothrombinemia due to antibacterial therapy; • hypoprothrombinemia secondary to factors limiting absorption or synthesis of vitamin K, e.g., obstructive jaundice, biliary fistula, sprue, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, intestinal resection, cystic fibrosis of the pancreas, and regional enteritis; • other drug-induced hypoprothrombinemia where it is definitely shown that the result is due to interference with vitamin K metabolism, e.g., salicylates.

1.2Prophylaxis and Treatment of Vitamin K-Deficiency Bleeding in Neonates Vitamin K 1 Injection is indicated for prophylaxis and treatment of vitamin K-deficiency bleeding in neonates.

⏱️ Dosage and Administration ~3 min read ▾

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • Administer Vitamin K 1 Injection by the subcutaneous route, whenever possible. ( 2.1 ) • When intravenous administration is unavoidable, inject the drug very slowly, not exceeding 1 mg per minute. ( 2.1 )

2.1Dosing Considerations Whenever possible, administer Vitamin K 1 Injection by the subcutaneous route [see Boxed Warning ] . When intravenous administration is unavoidable, inject the drug very slowly, not exceeding 1 mg per minute [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Monitor international normalized ratio (INR) regularly and as clinical conditions indicate.

Use the lowest effective dose of Vitamin K 1 Injection. The coagulant effects of Vitamin K 1 Injection are not immediate; improvement of INR may take 1 to 8 hours. Interim use of whole blood or component therapy may also be necessary if bleeding is severe.

Whenever possible, administer benzyl alcohol-free phytonadione formulations in pediatric patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) , Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ] . When Vitamin K 1 Injection is used to correct excessive anticoagulant-induced hypoprothrombinemia, anticoagulant therapy still being indicated, the patient is again faced with the clotting hazards existing prior to starting the anticoagulant therapy. Vitamin K 1 Injection is not a clotting agent, but overzealous therapy with Vitamin K 1 Injection may restore conditions which originally permitted thromboembolic phenomena.

Dosage should be kept as low as possible, and INR should be checked regularly as clinical conditions indicate.

2.2Recommended Dosage for Coagulation Disorders from Vitamin K Deficiency or Interference The recommended dosage of Vitamin K 1 Injection is based on whether the hypoprothrombinemia is anticoagulant-induced (e.g., due to coumarin or indanedione derivatives) or non-anticoagulant-induced (e.g., due to antibiotics; salicylates or other drugs; factors limiting absorption or synthesis) as follows: • Anticoagulant-Induced Hypoprothrombinemia: Vitamin K 1 Injection 2.5 mg to 10 mg or more subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or intravenously.

Up to 25 mg to 50 mg may be administered as a single dose. Repeated large doses of Vitamin K 1 Injection are not warranted in liver disease if the initial response is unsatisfactory. Failure to respond to Vitamin K 1 Injection may indicate that the condition being treated is inherently unresponsive to Vitamin K 1 Injection. • Hypoprothrombinemia Due to Other Causes (Non-Anticoagulation-Induced Hypoprothrombinemia): Vitamin K 1 Injection 2.5 mg to 25 mg or more intravenously, intramuscularly, or subcutaneously.

Up to 50 mg may be administered as a single dose. Evaluate INR after 6 to 8 hours, and repeat dose if INR remains prolonged. Modify subsequent dosage (amount and frequency) based on the INR or clinical condition.

2.3Recommended Dosage for Prophylaxis and Treatment of Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding in Neonates Prophylaxis of Vitamin K-Deficiency Bleeding in Neonates The recommended dosage of Vitamin K 1 Injection is 0.5 mg to 1 mg within one hour of birth for a single dose. Treatment of Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding in Neonates The recommended dosage of Vitamin K 1 Injection is 1 mg given either subcutaneously or intramuscularly. Consider higher doses if the mother has been receiving oral anticoagulants.

A failure to respond (shortening of the INR in 2 to 4 hours) may indicate another diagnosis or coagulation disorder.

2.4Directions for Dilution Dilute Vitamin K 1 Injection with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, 5% Dextrose Injection, or 5% Dextrose and Sodium Chloride Injection. Avoid use of other diluents that may contain benzyl alcohol, which can cause serious toxicity in newborns or low birth weight infants [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) , Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ]. When diluted, start administration of Vitamin K 1 Injection immediately after dilution.

Discard unused portions of diluted solution as well as unused contents of the ampul. Pr… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ~2 min read ▾

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Risk of Serious Adverse Reactions in Infants due to Benzyl Alcohol Preservative: Use benzyl alcohol-free phytonadione formulations in neonates and infants, if available. ( 5.2 ) • Cutaneous Reactions: May occur with parenteral use. Discontinue drug and manage medically. ( 5.3 )

5.1Hypersensitivity Reactions Fatal and severe hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have occurred with intravenous or intramuscular administration of Vitamin K 1 Injection. Reactions have occurred despite dilution to avoid rapid intravenous infusion and upon first dose. These reactions have included shock, cardiorespiratory arrest, flushing, diaphoresis, chest pain, tachycardia, cyanosis, weakness, and dyspnea.

Administer Vitamin K 1 Injection subcutaneously whenever feasible. Avoid the intravenous and intramuscular routes of administration unless the subcutaneous route is not feasible and the serious risk is justified [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] .

5.2Risk of Serious Adverse Reaction in Infants due to Benzyl Alcohol Preservative Use benzyl alcohol-free phytonadione formulations in neonates and infants, if available. Serious and fatal adverse reactions including “gasping syndrome” can occur in neonates and infants treated with benzyl alcohol‑preserved drugs, including Vitamin K 1 Injection. The “gasping syndrome” is characterized by central nervous system depression, metabolic acidosis, and gasping respirations.

When prescribing Vitamin K 1 Injection in infants, consider the combined daily metabolic load of benzyl alcohol from all sources including Vitamin K 1 Injection (contains 9 mg of benzyl alcohol per mL) and other drugs containing benzyl alcohol. The minimum amount of benzyl alcohol at which serious adverse reactions may occur is not known [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.2 and 8.4) ] .

5.3Cutaneous Reactions Parenteral administration of vitamin K replacements (including Vitamin K 1 Injection) may cause cutaneous reactions. Reactions have included eczematous reactions, scleroderma-like patches, urticaria, and delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions. Time of onset ranged from 1 day to a year after parenteral administration. Discontinue Vitamin K 1 Injection for skin reactions and institute medical management.

5.4Aluminum Toxicity WARNING: This product contains aluminum that may be toxic. Aluminum may reach toxic levels with prolonged parenteral administration if kidney function is impaired. Premature neonates are particularly at risk because their kidneys are immature, and they require large amounts of calcium and phosphate solutions, which contain aluminum.

Research indicates that patients with impaired kidney function, including premature neonates, who receive parenteral levels of aluminum at greater than 4 to 5 mcg/kg/day accumulate aluminum at levels associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity. Tissue loading may occur at even lower rates of administration.

🤒 Adverse Reactions 208 words ▾

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: • Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] • Cutaneous Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Most common adverse reactions are cyanosis, diaphoresis, dizziness, dysgeusia, dyspnea, flushing, hypotension and tachycardia. ( 6 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Pfizer Inc. at 1‑800‑438‑1985 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

6.2Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of Vitamin K 1 Injection. Because these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Cardiac Disorders: Tachycardia, hypotension.

General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions: Generalized flushing; pain, swelling, and tenderness at injection site. Hepatobiliary Disorders: Hyperbilirubinemia. Immune System Disorders: Fatal hypersensitivity reactions, anaphylactic reactions.

Neurologic: Dysgeusia, dizziness. Pulmonary: Dyspnea. Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Erythema, pruritic plaques, scleroderma-like lesions, erythema perstans.

Vascular: Cyanosis.

🔄 Drug Interactions 81 words ▾

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Anticoagulants Vitamin K 1 Injection may induce temporary resistance to prothrombin-depressing anticoagulants, especially when larger doses of Vitamin K 1 Injection are used. Should this occur, higher doses of anticoagulant therapy may be needed when resuming anticoagulant therapy, or a change in therapy to a different class of anticoagulant may be necessary (i.e., heparin sodium). Vitamin K 1 Injection does not affect the anticoagulant action of heparin.

Anticoagulants: May induce temporary resistance to prothrombin-depressing anticoagulants. ( 7 )

👥 Use in Specific Populations ~3 min read ▾

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS • Pregnancy: If available, use a preservative-free phytonadione formulation in pregnant women. ( 8.1 ) • Lactation: If available, use a preservative-free phytonadione formulation in lactating women. ( 8.2 ) • Pediatric Use: The safety and effectiveness of Vitamin K 1 Injection in pediatric patients from 6 months to 17 years have not been established. ( 8.4 )

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Vitamin K 1 Injection contains benzyl alcohol, which has been associated with gasping syndrome in neonates. The preservative benzyl alcohol can cause serious adverse events and death when administered intravenously to neonates and infants . If Vitamin K 1 Injection is needed during pregnancy, consider using a benzyl alcohol-free phytonadione formulation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) , Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ] .

Published studies with the use of phytonadione during pregnancy have not reported a clear association with phytonadione and adverse developmental outcomes [see Data ]. There are maternal and fetal risks associated with vitamin K deficiency during pregnancy [see Clinical Considerations ] . Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with phytonadione.

The estimated background risk for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.

Clinical Considerations Disease-associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk Pregnant women with vitamin K deficiency hypoprothrombinemia may be at an increased risk for bleeding diatheses during pregnancy and hemorrhagic events at delivery. Subclinical maternal vitamin K deficiency during pregnancy has been implicated in rare cases of fetal intracranial hemorrhage. Data Human Data Phytonadione has been measured in cord blood of infants whose mothers were treated with phytonadione during pregnancy in concentrations lower than seen in maternal plasma.

Administration of vitamin K 1 to pregnant women shortly before delivery increased both maternal and cord blood concentrations. Published data do not report a clear association with phytonadione and adverse maternal or fetal outcomes when used during pregnancy. However, these studies cannot definitively establish the absence of any risk because of methodologic limitations including small sample size and lack of blinding.

Animal Data In pregnant rats receiving vitamin K 1 orally, fetal plasma and liver concentrations increased following administration, supporting placental transfer.

8.2Lactation Risk Summary Vitamin K 1 Injection contains benzyl alcohol. If available, a preservative-free phytonadione formulation is recommended when Vitamin K 1 Injection is needed during lactation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) , Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ] . Phytonadione is present in breastmilk.

There are no data on the effects of Vitamin K 1 Injection on the breastfed child or on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the clinical need for Vitamin K 1 Injection and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from Vitamin K 1 Injection or from the underlying maternal condition.

8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of Vitamin K 1 Injection for prophylaxis and treatment of vitamin K deficiency have been established in neonates. Use of phytonadione injection for prophylaxis and treatment of vitamin K deficiency is based on published clinical studies. Serious adverse reactions including fatal reactions and the “gasping syndrome” occurred in premature neonates and infants in the intensive care unit who received drugs containing benzyl alcohol as a preservative.

In these cases, benzyl alcohol dosages of 99 to 234 mg/kg/day produced high levels of benzyl alcohol and its metabolites in the blood a… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

If Vitamin K 1 Injection is needed during pregnancy, consider using a benzyl alcohol-free phytonadione formulation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) , Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ] .

Published studies with the use of phytonadione during pregnancy have not reported a clear association with phytonadione and adverse developmental outcomes [see Data ]. There are maternal and fetal risks associated with vitamin K deficiency during pregnancy [see Clinical Considerations ] . Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with phytonadione.

The estimated background risk for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.

Clinical Considerations Disease-associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk Pregnant women with vitamin K deficiency hypoprothrombinemia may be at an increased risk for bleeding diatheses during pregnancy and hemorrhagic events at delivery. Subclinical maternal vitamin K deficiency during pregnancy has been implicated in rare cases of fetal intracranial hemorrhage. Data Human Data Phytonadione has been measured in cord blood of infants whose mothers were treated with phytonadione during pregnancy in concentrations lower than seen in maternal plasma.

Administration of vitamin K 1 to pregnant women shortly before delivery increased both maternal and cord blood concentrations. Published data do not report a clear association with phytonadione and adverse maternal or fetal outcomes when used during pregnancy. However, these studies cannot definitively establish the absence of any risk because of methodologic limitations including small sample size and lack of blinding.

Animal Data In pregnant rats receiving vitamin K 1 orally, fetal plasma and liver concentrations increased following administration, supporting placental transfer.

🧒 Pediatric Use ~1 min read ▾

8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of Vitamin K 1 Injection for prophylaxis and treatment of vitamin K deficiency have been established in neonates. Use of phytonadione injection for prophylaxis and treatment of vitamin K deficiency is based on published clinical studies. Serious adverse reactions including fatal reactions and the “gasping syndrome” occurred in premature neonates and infants in the intensive care unit who received drugs containing benzyl alcohol as a preservative.

In these cases, benzyl alcohol dosages of 99 to 234 mg/kg/day produced high levels of benzyl alcohol and its metabolites in the blood and urine (blood levels of benzyl alcohol were 0.61 to 1.378 mmol/L). Additional adverse reactions included gradual neurological deterioration, seizures, intracranial hemorrhage, hematologic abnormalities, skin breakdown, hepatic and renal failure, hypotension, bradycardia, and cardiovascular collapse. Preterm, low birth weight infants may be more likely to develop these reactions because they may be less able to metabolize benzyl alcohol.

When prescribing Vitamin K 1 Injection in infants consider the combined daily metabolic load of benzyl alcohol from all sources including Vitamin K 1 Injection (Vitamin K 1 Injection contains 9 mg of benzyl alcohol per mL) and other drugs containing benzyl alcohol. The minimum amount of benzyl alcohol at which serious adverse reactions may occur is not known [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Whenever possible, use preservative-free phytonadione formulations in neonates.

The preservative benzyl alcohol has been associated with serious adverse events and death in pediatric patients. Premature and low birth weight infants may be more likely to develop toxicity.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ~1 min read ▾

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action Vitamin K 1 Injection aqueous dispersion of vitamin K 1 for parenteral injection, possesses the same type and degree of activity as does naturally-occurring vitamin K, which is necessary for the production via the liver of active prothrombin (factor II), proconvertin (factor VII), plasma thromboplastin component (factor IX), and Stuart factor (factor X). Vitamin K is an essential cofactor for a microsomal enzyme that catalyzes the post‑translational carboxylation of multiple, specific, peptide-bound glutamic acid residues in inactive hepatic precursors of factors II, VII, IX, and X.

The resulting gamma-carboxy-glutamic acid residues convert the precursors into active coagulation factors that are subsequently secreted by liver cells into the blood. In normal animals and humans, phytonadione is virtually devoid of activity. However, in animals and humans deficient in vitamin K, the pharmacological action of vitamin K is related to its normal physiological function, that is, to promote the hepatic biosynthesis of vitamin K dependent clotting factors.

12.2Pharmacodynamics The action of the aqueous dispersion, when administered intravenously, is generally detectable within an hour or two and hemorrhage is usually controlled within 3 to 6 hours. A normal INR may often be obtained in 12 to 14 hours.

12.3Pharmacokinetics Absorption Phytonadione is readily absorbed following intramuscular administration. Distribution After absorption, phytonadione is initially concentrated in the liver, but the concentration declines rapidly. Very little vitamin K accumulates in tissues. Elimination Little is known about the metabolic fate of vitamin K. Almost no free unmetabolized vitamin K appears in bile or urine.

Medicaid utilization & spend

📍 This exact package only: Medicaid data is reported per full 11-digit NDC — labeler, product and pack size — so every number here is for this package alone, not the drug overall. Other pack sizes report separately.
💊 Pharmacy benefit only: These are Medicaid outpatient pharmacy claims, billed by NDC. They exclude the medical benefit — clinic- or hospital-administered drugs billed under HCPCS J-codes — so drugs used mostly that way (e.g. Avastin, Lucentis, Keytruda) can look low or missing here. That’s expected, not an error.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The form printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed is the one the FDA registered. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero and the dashes are dropped. The Identity section at the top of this page lists each form of this code.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by Hospira, Inc.. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Does this product come in other package sizes?
Yes — the FDA directory lists 1 other package presentation of this same product, including 5 ampules (00409-9158-25). Each has its own NDC and its own page — see the package list near the top of this page.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
Hospira, Inc. is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
Does this product have a billing J-code?
Yes — this NDC cross-references HCPCS code J3430 for medical-claim billing (typically used when a product is administered in a clinical setting rather than dispensed at a retail pharmacy). See the Billing section on this page.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.
Where does this data come from?
Listing facts (marketing category, packager status, marketing dates) from the FDA openFDA NDC Directory; label availability from DailyMed; pricing coverage from CMS NADAC; equivalence scope from the FDA Orange Book.
For educational and professional reference only — not medical advice. Pricing reflects published NADAC and CMS ASP (free public data) and may differ from your acquisition cost; always verify before billing or dispensing.
