Vitasule Capsule

Vitamin B complex (B1, B2, B6 and B3) for:

• Prevention and treatment of vitamin B deficiency (poor diet, alcohol use, long illness, recovery)
• Mouth ulcers, sore cracked lips and tongue (angular stomatitis, glossitis) due to B-vitamin deficiency
• Mild nerve symptoms (tingling) linked to deficiency
• Extra needs in pregnancy, breastfeeding, the elderly, and with some medicines (e.g. isoniazid)

Adults: 1–2 tablets daily, or as directed.

Children: syrup 5 ml once or twice daily, according to age, or as directed.

Injection: given IM/IV by a health professional for severe deficiency.

• Best taken after meals.

• Allergy to any ingredient
• Patients taking levodopa alone (pyridoxine reduces its effect)

Usually well tolerated.

• Bright yellow urine (from riboflavin) — harmless.
• Occasional nausea or stomach upset.
• Rare: allergic reactions (especially with injections).
• Very high doses of pyridoxine taken for months can cause nerve damage (numbness).

• Do not take more than recommended; long-term high-dose B6 (over 100–200 mg/day) can harm nerves.
• Injections should be given slowly by trained staff because of the rare risk of allergy.

Safe at recommended doses in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

• Levodopa (pyridoxine reduces its effect unless taken with carbidopa)
• Phenytoin, phenobarbital (high-dose pyridoxine may lower their levels)

Generally of low toxicity; large doses may cause stomach upset. Chronic B6 excess causes nerve damage.

Store below 25–30°C, in a dry place, protected from light.
