Abstract in brief

Thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency is common among people with alcohol dependence and can lead to cognitive problems and conditions like Wernicke's encephalopathy, which is often underdiagnosed and undertreated.
Treatment guidelines recommend specific thiamine doses depending on the severity of the condition: for established Wernicke's, higher doses are used initially, followed by oral supplementation; for suspected cases or high-risk patients, tailored doses are advised to prevent deficiency.
The overall goal is to provide adequate parenteral or oral thiamine for 3-5 days, then continue with oral supplementation to reduce the risk of neurological complications related to alcohol dependence.]
