1. What is Neurovit and what is it used for
Neurovit contains a combination of vitamin B₁, B₆, and B₁₂, which are particularly important for maintaining normal metabolism in nerve cells. Like other vitamins, they are essential nutrients that cannot be synthesized by the body. In the treatment of nervous system disorders, B-complex vitamins act by correcting associated vitamin B deficiencies and stimulating natural healing processes in nerve tissue. There is evidence indicating the analgesic effect of vitamin B₁₂.
Neurovit is used in nervous system disorders caused by deficiencies of B-complex vitamins.
2. Important information before using Neurovit
When not to use Neurovit
- If you are allergic to thiamine hydrochloride (vitamin B1), pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- In children and adolescents (under 18 years of age) due to the high dose of vitamins contained in the medicine.
Warnings and precautions
Before starting treatment with Neurovit, discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist.
If the daily dose of vitamin B6 exceeds 50 mg when taken for a prolonged period, or if the dose taken over a shorter period exceeds 1 g of vitamin B6, a sensation of pricking and tingling in the hands or feet (symptoms of peripheral sensory neuropathy or paraesthesia) may occur. If the patient experiences pricking, tingling or other adverse effects, contact the doctor, who may adjust the dosage or recommend discontinuation of the medicine.
Children and adolescents
Neurovit should not be used in children and adolescents (under 18 years of age) due to the high doses of active substances contained in the medicine.
Neurovit and other medicines
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are currently using, have recently used, or plan to use.
- Vitamin B6 may become ineffective if used concomitantly with the cytostatic agent 5-fluorouracil (a medicine used in cancer treatment).
- Antacids (used in gastric hyperacidity) reduce the absorption of vitamin B12 by the body.
- Long-term use of certain diuretics, such as furosemide, may lead to vitamin B1 deficiency due to increased urinary excretion of vitamin B1.
- Concomitant use with L-dopa (a medicine used in Parkinson's disease) may reduce the effectiveness of L-dopa.
- If Neurovit is used simultaneously with medicines that reduce vitamin B6 levels in the body (so-called pyridoxine antagonists such as isoniazid, hydralazine, D-penicillamine or cycloserine), the requirement for vitamin B6 may increase.
Neurovit with food, drink and alcohol
Food increases the absorption of vitamin B1 from the gastrointestinal tract; therefore, tablets should be taken after meals, with a small amount of liquid.
The absorption of vitamin B12 is reduced by alcohol and tea.
If vitamin B1 is taken together with beverages containing sulfites (e.g. wine), it may degrade and thus lose its properties.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, suspect you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a child, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.
Neurovit should not be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, daily vitamin requirements should be met through a balanced diet. Due to the high dose of vitamins contained in the medicine, Neurovit is intended for use only in cases of vitamin deficiency and should be used solely on a doctor's prescription, after careful consideration of potential benefits and risks.
Vitamins B1, B6 and B12 pass into human milk. High doses of vitamin B6 may reduce milk secretion.
Your doctor will decide whether Neurovit may be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding in specific cases.
Driving and operating machinery
Neurovit has no influence on the ability to drive vehicles or operate machinery.
3. How to use the medicine Neurovit
This medicine should always be taken according to the doctor's or pharmacist's instructions. If in
doubt, consult a doctor or pharmacist.

In individual cases, the dose may be increased to 1 tablet three times daily.

Taking more Neurovit than recommended
Vitamin B
Taking doses higher than 50 mg of vitamin B per day for a prolonged period (longer than 6-12
months) or doses exceeding 1 g of vitamin B per day for a shorter period (more than 2
months) may lead to nerve damage (neurotoxic effects). After taking a dose greater than 2 g
per day, nerve damage has been reported, manifesting as motor disturbances, sensory disturbances (tingling, numbness), seizures, and in very rare cases, changes in blood picture as well as inflammatory skin reactions.
Vitamin B
In very rare cases, following very high doses, allergic reactions, rashes and mild acne have been observed.
If you miss a dose of Neurovit
Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose; instead, take the next dose at the correct time.
If you have any doubts regarding the use of this medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
4. Possible adverse reactions

Very rare (may affect less than 1 in 10,000 people):
