Acefurtiamine is a vitamin derivative, more specifically a derivative of thiamine. It is used in some countries as a dietary supplement and is also known as Neurictal or Codrix.

Chemical Structure

Acefurtiamine is a chemical compound with the formula C19H21N5O6S. It is a derivative of thiamine, but unlike thiamine, which is water-soluble, acefurtiamine is fat-soluble. This means it can be stored in the body's fat tissues and released as needed.

Acefurtiamine is used as a dietary supplement in some countries. It is also used in the treatment of vitamin B1 deficiency, beriberi, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, and certain metabolic disorders. It is also used to improve cognitive function in people with Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia.

Side Effects

Like all medications, acefurtiamine can cause side effects. These may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. In rare cases, it can cause allergic reactions.
