Pharmacology
This is a well balanced combination of B-Complex vitamins which is specially formulated for prophylactic or therapeutic nutritional supplementation in conditions requiring water soluble B-Complex vitamins. Vitamins are essential for normal metabolic functions including hematopoiesis. The B-Complex vitamins are necessary for the conversion of carbohydrate, protein and fat into tissue and energy.
Dosage and administration
Tablet and Capsule : 1-2 tablets/capsules thrice daily. Syrup : 2-3 teaspoonful daily or as directed by the physician. Injection : It is used when the oral route is not feasible or when rapid correction of vitamin B-group is needed. It can be given intramuscularly or intravenously (slowly) in a dose of 2 mL daily or as advised by the Registered Physician.
Interactions
Pyridoxine may increase the peripheral metabolism of levodopa, reducing therapeutic efficacy in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to any of its components.
Side effects
Adverse reactions have been reported with specific vitamins, and generally at levels substantially higher than those in Orabex. However, allergic and idiosyncratic reactions are possible at lower levels.
Pregnancy and lactation
The recommended dose should not be exceeded without medical advice.
Precautions and warnings
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.
