Mode of Action
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), B6 (Pyridoxine) & B12 (Cyanocobalamin). These vitamins play essential role as co-enzyme for the metabolism of nervous system. Thus this combination normalizes the nerve cell metabolism. This combination supports the regeneration of nerve fibers and myelin sheath by activation of the metabolism and the natural repair mechanism. The combination of these 3 vitamins shows better efficacy than that of the individual components. In addition, Vitamin B1, B6 & B12 promote body's own repair mechanism and work in pain management.
Precaution
Cyanocobalamin should not be given before a diagnosis has been fully established because of the possibility of masking symptoms of subacute degeneration of the spinal cord. Cyanocobalamin is not a suitable form of Vitamin B12 for the treatment of optic neuropathies associated with raised plasma concentrations of cyanocobalamin.
Side Effect
Generally well tolerated. However, a few allergic reactions may be seen.
