Vitamin B1, B2 & B6
Thiamine(Vitamin B1) forms thiamine pyrophosphate by combining with adenosine triphosphate; essential coenzyme in carbohydrate metabolism.Riboflavin(vitamin B2) is required for energy utilisation from food. It is essential for normal tissue respiration. It is also necessary for the activation of pyridoxine and conversion of tryptophan to nicotinic acid.Pyridoxine(vitamin B6) is a water-soluble vitamin which functions in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. It is essential in Hb formation and GABA synthesis within the CNS. It also aids in the release of glycogen stored in the liver and muscles.
Adults: 2 ml every day or alternate days intravenously or intramuscularly.
Pyridoxine may increase the peripheral metabolism of levodopa, reducing therapeutic efficacy in patients with Parkinson’s disease.
Hypersensitivity to any of its components.
Adverse reactions have been reported with specific vitamins, and generally at levels substantially higher than those in Vitamin B1, B2 & B6. However, allergic and idiosyncratic reactions are possible at lower levels.
The recommended dose should not be exceeded without medical advice.
It should be given cautiously to patients taking levodopa as pyridoxine reduces the effect of levodopa. Hypersensitivity may develop in patients previously given thiamine, specially after repeated injections of concentrated solution; give subsequent injections with care. Discontinue drug if untoward reactions develop. Intramuscular administration may cause transient pain; when used undiluted, administer slowly.
