Thiamine Hydrochloride Tablets are vitamin tablets and you have been given them because your body does not have enough thiamine (Vitamin B1). Although this vitamin occurs naturally in nearly all living tissues, and some is obtained from almost all foods - particularly yeast, wholegrain cereals, meat and beans - unpleasant physical symptoms can develop if you do not get enough thiamine in your diet. Taking Thiamine Hydrochloride Tablets - a synthetic version of natural Vitamin B1 - helps to make up for any lack of thiamine in your diet.
