1. What Neurovit is and what it is 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 vitamins act by correcting associated vitamin B deficiencies and supporting natural healing processes in nerve tissue.
There is evidence indicating the analgesic (pain-relieving) effect of vitamin B₁₂.
Neurovit is used in nervous system disorders caused by deficiencies of B 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 taken over a prolonged period exceeds 50 mg, or if the dose taken over a shorter period exceeds 1 g of vitamin B₆, you may experience prickling and tingling sensations in the hands or feet (symptoms of peripheral sensory neuropathy or paraesthesiae). If you experience prickling, tingling, or any other adverse reactions, contact your 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
You must tell your doctor or pharmacist about any medicines you are currently taking, have recently taken, or plan to take.
- 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 excretion of vitamin B₁ in urine.
- 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, breastfeeding, suspect you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.
Neurovit should not be used 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 this 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, in special circumstances, Neurovit may be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Driving and operating machinery
Neurovit has no influence on the ability to drive vehicles or operate machinery.
3. How to use the medicine Neurovit

Taking a higher than recommended dose of Neurovit
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), convulsions, and in very rare cases, changes in blood picture as well as inflammatory skin reactions.
Vitamin B
In very rare cases, after taking very high doses, allergic reactions, rashes and mild forms of acne have been observed.
Missed dose of Neurovit
Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose; instead, take the next dose at the appropriate time.
If you have any doubts regarding the use of this medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
