Arcalion 200 mg Tablet

Arcalion 200 mg Tablet contains 200 mg of sulbutiamine in each tablet. Sulbutiamine is a synthetic derivative of vitamin B1 (thiamine) that is used as a neurologic/antifatigue medicine in some settings, including to help manage asthenia (abnormal tiredness or weakness) when a clinician feels it is appropriate. As an anti-Parkinsonian category product, Arcalion 200 mg Tablet should only be used under medical supervision and only for the condition your prescriber has assessed.

How it works: Sulbutiamine is a fat-soluble form of thiamine that is thought to raise thiamine activity in the brain more readily than standard thiamine. In tablet form, Arcalion 200 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract, then used by the body to support energy metabolism and nerve function.

Arcalion 200 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet, so it may be chosen when a doctor wants a full 200 mg dose in a single tablet rather than using multiple lower-strength tablets. Because there are no other strengths or forms of Arcalion in this product line here, this 200 mg tablet represents the exact dose per tablet your clinician is prescribing, rather than a starter or smaller-step option.

• Asthenia or unusual fatigue
• Weakness related to low thiamine activity
• Clinician-directed neurologic support
• Adjunct use in selected movement-disorder care
• Short-term symptomatic management of tiredness

• Swallow Arcalion 200 mg Tablet whole with water unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.

Each Arcalion 200 mg Tablet provides 200 mg of sulbutiamine per tablet. The total daily dose and how often it is taken depend on the reason it was prescribed and the prescriber’s directions; the maximum daily amount should not be exceeded without medical advice. Because this is a higher-strength tablet, the doctor decides whether it is appropriate and how many tablets are needed for your specific treatment plan.
