Indications & Uses
Becosules Gold capsule (Vitamin B complex + Vitamin C) is used to treat patients who are deficient in vitamin B-complex and vitamin C, or who need more of them than usual. This includes patients whose intake is low because of a restricted or unbalanced diet, as in anorexia, diabetes mellitus, obesity and alcoholism. Availability of these vitamins can also fall during treatment with antimicrobials that alter the normal intestinal flora, and in prolonged diarrhea and chronic gastrointestinal disorders. Requirements go up when the metabolic rate is raised, as in fever and tissue wasting, for example febrile illness, acute or chronic infections, surgery, burns and fractures. The capsule is also indicated in stomatitis, glossitis, cheilosis, paraesthesias, neuralgia and dermatitis, and for micronutrient deficiencies during pregnancy or lactation.

Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
When a patient has a deficiency of Vitamin B-complex and Vitamin C, or needs more of them than usual, specific therapy for the primary illness should be given alongside. The capsule should be continued only until the deficiency is corrected, or for as long as the need for supplementation exists. Pyridoxine may reduce the therapeutic effects of levodopa in Parkinson's disease. Riboflavin may colour the urine yellow. During treatment with the capsule, the urine may also give a false positive result for sugar by Benedict's test, because ascorbic acid is present. So a test that ascorbic acid does not affect should be used.
Contraindications
Don't give this preparation to anyone who is hypersensitive to any of its ingredients.
