Description
Overview of the medicine
Allbeevit-5-mg-capsule is a vitamin B-complex formulation containing essential B vitamins such as Thiamine (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3), Pantothenic Acid (B5), Pyridoxine (B6), Biotin (B7), Folic Acid (B9), and Cyanocobalamin (B12). These vitamins play crucial roles in various metabolic processes, energy production, and nerve function. The '5 mg' often refers to the strength of a key component like Pyridoxine HCl.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Usually 1 capsule daily, or as directed by a physician. May be increased based on deficiency severity.
Elderly
No specific dosage adjustment needed, same as adults unless severe renal impairment is present.
Renal_impairment
Generally safe, but caution with very high doses in severe impairment due to potential accumulation of some water-soluble vitamins. Consult a physician.
How to Take
Take orally with a glass of water, with or without food. It is generally recommended to take with a meal to minimize gastrointestinal discomfort.
Mechanism of Action
B vitamins act as coenzymes in numerous metabolic pathways, including carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. They are vital for cellular energy production, DNA synthesis and repair, nerve function, and red blood cell formation. For instance, Thiamine is crucial for glucose metabolism, Pyridoxine for amino acid metabolism, and Cyanocobalamin for nerve sheath integrity and red blood cell maturation.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Effects on metabolic processes can begin within hours, but clinical benefits for deficiency may take days to weeks.
Excretion
Mainly via renal excretion of unmetabolized vitamins and their metabolites in urine. Excess intake may result in brightly colored urine (e.g., yellow due to Riboflavin).
Half life
Variable, typically short (hours to days) for water-soluble vitamins, requiring regular intake.
Absorption
Readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, primarily in the small intestine. Absorption rates vary slightly among individual B vitamins.
Metabolism
Individual B vitamins are metabolized in various tissues, primarily the liver, into their active coenzyme forms.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- •Hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation.
- •Known allergy to specific B vitamins.
Drug Interactions
Levodopa
High doses of Pyridoxine (B6) can reduce the effectiveness of Levodopa in Parkinson's disease (this interaction is usually not significant at doses typically found in B-complexes).
Anticonvulsants (e.g., Phenytoin)
May increase the requirement for Folic Acid.
Certain antibiotics (e.g., Tetracyclines)
May interfere with absorption or efficacy of some B vitamins.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Overdose of water-soluble B vitamins is rare due to their excretion in urine. However, very high doses of certain B vitamins (e.g., Pyridoxine) over prolonged periods can lead to adverse effects like peripheral neuropathy. Treatment is generally supportive and symptomatic. Consult a medical professional in case of suspected overdose.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Generally considered safe and often recommended during pregnancy and lactation to meet increased nutritional demands, especially Folic Acid (B9) for neural tube development. Consult a physician or healthcare provider before use.
