Provit-B B-Complex is indicated in deficiency conditions such as beriberi, Wernicke's encephalopathy, loss of appetite, cheilosis, glossitis, angular stomatitis, keratitis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, pellagra, photophobia, peripheral neuritis, and corneal vascularization. It is also used in conditions causing depletion or poor absorption of vitamins including gastrointestinal disorders, chronic alcoholism, febrile illness, prolonged debilitating diseases, hyperthyroidism, poorly controlled diabetes, and in conditions where the body's requirement for B-Complex vitamins is increased, such as pregnancy, severe burns, and post-surgical recovery.

This is a balanced formulation of B-Complex vitamins specially designed for prophylactic and therapeutic nutritional supplementation in conditions requiring water-soluble B-Complex vitamins. These vitamins are essential for normal metabolic processes including hematopoiesis. B-Complex vitamins are also necessary for the conversion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into tissue and energy.

Tablet and Capsule: 1-2 tablets/capsules thrice daily.

Syrup: 2-3 teaspoonful daily or as directed by the physician.

Injection: It is used when the oral route is not feasible or when rapid correction of vitamin B-group is needed. It can be given intramuscularly or intravenously (slowly) in a dose of 2 mL daily or as advised by the Registered Physician.

This preparation is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.

Adverse reactions have been reported with certain vitamins, particularly at doses significantly higher than those present in this preparation. However, allergic and idiosyncratic reactions may occur even at lower doses.

The recommended dosage should not be exceeded during pregnancy and lactation unless advised by a physician.

This medicine should be administered cautiously in patients receiving levodopa therapy, as pyridoxine may reduce the effect of levodopa. Hypersensitivity reactions may occur in patients previously treated with thiamine, especially after repeated injections of concentrated solutions. Subsequent injections should therefore be administered carefully. If any adverse reaction develops, the medication should be discontinued. Intramuscular administration may cause temporary pain; when used undiluted, it should be injected slowly.
