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 to use 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 for 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 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 all medicines you are currently using, have recently used, or plan to use.
- Vitamin B₆ may be 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 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 B₆ 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, think 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 taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, daily vitamin requirements should be met through a balanced diet. Due to the high vitamin dose 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, who will carefully assess the 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 exceptional cases, Neurovit may be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Driving and operating machinery
Neurovit has no influence on the ability to drive or operate machinery.
Neurovit contains sodium
The medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per tablet; therefore, the medicine is considered "sodium-free".
3. How to use Neurovit
This medicine should always be taken as directed by a doctor or pharmacist. If in doubt, consult a 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 should 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 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 ingestion of more 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, following ingestion of very high doses, allergic reactions, rashes, and mild acne have been observed.
Missed dose of Neurovit
Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose. Take the next dose at the scheduled time.
If in doubt regarding the use of this medicine, consult a doctor or pharmacist.
