Cona-adione is used to treat or prevent vitamin K deficiency in the body. This vitamin plays an essential role in the blood clotting process, as it helps in the production of proteins that contribute to stopping bleeding. It is usually prescribed for people who suffer from blood clotting problems due to vitamin deficiency, or to prevent bleeding resulting from the use of certain medications such as anticoagulants. It is also given to newborns to prevent bleeding resulting from a natural vitamin K deficiency.
Cona-adione can also be used in certain cases that require boosting vitamin levels to improve general health or to compensate for a deficiency resulting from malabsorption or liver disease.
