Indications & Uses
These tablets are meant for people under a doctor's treatment who have particular nutritional needs.

They are indicated especially for people who have, or are at risk of, atherosclerotic vascular disease in the coronary, peripheral or cerebral vessels, or neurological disorders.
Pharmacology
Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) is a water-soluble vitamin that takes part in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. The body needs it to form Hb and to make GABA in the CNS. It also helps release glycogen stored in the liver and muscles.
Folic acid (Vitamin B9) is needed to produce certain coenzymes in many metabolic systems, for example in purine and pyrimidine synthesis. It is also needed to make and maintain nucleoprotein in erythropoiesis. In folate-deficiency anaemia, it also promotes the production of WBCs and platelets.
Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) is needed for growth, hematopoiesis, and the synthesis of nucleoprotein and myelin. As a hematopoietic agent, it is converted to coenzyme B12. This coenzyme is required to convert methylmalonate to succinate and to produce methionine from homocysteine, a reaction that needs folate. Without folate, these metabolites can't be formed and folate deficiency occurs. Cyanocobalamin is also involved in maintaining reduced sulfhydryl (SH) groups, which various SH-activated enzyme systems require. Through these processes, it takes part in fat and carbohydrate metabolism as well as protein synthesis.
