Indications

Vitamin B complex is used for deficiency states such as beriberi, Wernicke's encephalopathy, loss of appetite, cheilosis, glossitis, angular stomatitis, keratitis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, pellagra, photophobia, peripheral neuritis and corneal vascularization. It is also used when a condition depletes the vitamins or reduces their absorption, for example gastrointestinal disorders, chronic alcoholism, febrile illness, prolonged or wasting diseases, hyperthyroidism or poorly controlled diabetes. And it is used when the body needs more B-complex vitamins than usual, such as in pregnancy, severe burns and recovery from surgery.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Vitamin B complex is a balanced mix of B-complex vitamins, made for nutritional supplementation, either to prevent a deficiency or to treat one, in conditions where water soluble B vitamins are needed. These vitamins are essential for normal metabolic functions, including the formation of blood cells (hematopoiesis). The B vitamins are also needed to turn carbohydrate, protein and fat into tissue and energy.
