B126 

Presentation: Each tablet typically contains Vitamin B1 (Thiamine Mononitrate), Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride), and Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) in varying strengths depending on the manufacturer. Common formulations in Bangladesh include tablets with Vitamin B1 100 mg, Vitamin B6 200 mg, and Vitamin B12 200 mcg.

Indications: B126 is indicated for the treatment and prevention of deficiencies in Vitamin B1, B6, and B12. These vitamins are crucial for nerve health and overall metabolic function. It is used as supportive therapy for neuritis, non-inflammatory nerve diseases such as diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuralgia, lumbago, sciatica, facial neuralgia, intercostal neuralgia, and spinal pain.

Dosage and Administration: The usual adult dose is one to three tablets per day, or as directed by a physician. The tablets should be swallowed whole with water and can be taken with or without food. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the severity of the deficiency and the individual's response.

Side Effects: Generally well-tolerated. However, allergic reactions may occur in some individuals. High doses of Vitamin B6 over prolonged periods may rarely lead to sensory neuropathy.

Precautions: B126 is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of its components and in patients on levodopa therapy (unless a dopamine decarboxylase inhibitor is also given). Caution should be exercised in patients with subacute spinal cord degeneration or optic neuropathy associated with elevated plasma levels of cyanocobalamin.

Storage: Store in a cool (below 25°C) and dry place, protected from light. Keep out of reach of children.
