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-complex vitamins act by correcting associated deficiencies of vitamin B and stimulating 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 deficiency 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 to use Neurovit, you should discuss this 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 sensations and tingling in the hands or feet (symptoms of peripheral sensory neuropathy or paresthesia). If you experience prickling, tingling, or any other adverse effects, 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 with other medicines
You must inform your doctor or pharmacist about all 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 for gastric hyperacidity) reduce the absorption of vitamin B1 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.
- Concurrent 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 lower 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 a meal, with a small amount of liquid.
The absorption of vitamin B6 is reduced by alcohol and tea.
If vitamin B6 is taken together with beverages containing sulfites (e.g. wine), it may degrade and thereby lose its properties.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, 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 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 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, in special circumstances, Neurovit may be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Driving and operating machinery
Neurovit has no influence on the ability to drive or operate machinery.
3. How to take Neurovit
This medicine should always be taken according to the instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
The recommended dose is 1 tablet once daily.
In individual cases, the dose may be increased to 1 tablet three times daily.
Tablets should be swallowed whole, taken after meals and with a small amount of liquid.
Use in children and adolescents
Neurovit must not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
Taking more Neurovit than recommended
Vitamin B
Taking doses exceeding 50 mg of vitamin B6 daily for prolonged periods (longer than 6–12 months) or doses exceeding 1 g of vitamin B6 daily for shorter periods (more than 2 months) may lead to nerve damage (neurotoxic effects). After taking doses exceeding 2 g daily, nerve damage has been reported, manifesting as motor disturbances, sensory disturbances (tingling, numbness), seizures, and, very rarely, changes in blood parameters and inflammatory skin reactions.
Vitamin B
In very rare cases, following ingestion of very high doses, allergic reactions, rashes and mild acne have been observed.
If you forget to take 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
Like all medicines, Neurovit may cause adverse reactions, although not everyone will experience them.
The following adverse reactions have been reported after short-term or long-term use of Neurovit:
Rare (may occur in 1 to 10 people in 10,000):

Very rare (may occur in fewer than 1 in 10,000 people):

Frequency cannot be determined from available data:
- Long-term intake of doses exceeding 50 mg of vitamin B__ per day for longer than 6–12 months may lead to peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage causing tingling or numbness)
