What is Neurobion Advance?
Neurobion Advance is a drug containing thiamine (vitamin B1), pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12). It is intended for use in adults only.
When to use Neurobion Advance?
Neurobion Advance can be taken to prevent a reduction in the levels of these vitamins in the body or to treat a deficiency (not enough of these vitamins in the body). Low levels of vitamins B1, B6 or B12 may occur when:
- you do not eat enough foods that contain these vitamins;
- the patient's body is unable to absorb these vitamins from food;
- you have had surgery on your stomach or intestines, which may affect how nutrients are absorbed;
- you have certain medical conditions, such as certain inflammatory diseases, which may increase the amount of vitamins your body uses;
- you have a medical condition such as kidney disease which may cause your body to remove more vitamins than normal.
Low levels of vitamin B1, B6 or B12 may be more common in the elderly or in patients suffering from neurological diseases, diabetes or digestive diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease or celiac disease. If you have low levels of vitamin B1, B6 or B12, you may not have any symptoms at first, but you may develop symptoms such as tiredness or a tingling sensation and numbness in your hands and feet. This medicinal product should only be used if the patient has any of the symptoms or conditions listed above (i.e. the diagnosis has been confirmed by a physician) and their treatment has been prescribed by a physician.

Important before use
Neurobion Advance - warnings
This is medicine. For safety, use it according to the package leaflet and only when necessary. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before taking Neurobion Advance: -
- if you suffer from megaloblastic anemia. Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) may cause relief of megaloblastic anemia due to folic acid deficiency. Due to the presence of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), the use of Neurobion Advance may alleviate this condition, so care should be taken that the correct diagnosis is not masked.
If you get any new symptoms after taking Neurobion Advance, stop taking the product and talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.

- In this case, stop taking the product and contact your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
Other medicines and Neurobion Advance
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken or might take any other medicines.
- Vitamin B6 may increase the severity of side effects and weaken the therapeutic effect of levodopa. Medicines containing substances such as dopamine decarboxylase inhibitors (e.g. medicines used to treat Parkinson's disease) may cause vitamin B6 deficiency.
- Pyridoxine antagonists such as isoniazid, cycloserine, penicillamine or hydralazine may reduce the effectiveness of vitamin B6.
- Long-term use of loop diuretics (drugs that increase the production and excretion of urine), such as furosemide, may accelerate the elimination of vitamin B1 and lower its levels in the blood, and may also cause lower levels of vitamin B6 in the blood.
