3 V Tablets/Film-coated

What is 3 V

3 V is a high-strength vitamin B complex supplement containing three essential water-soluble B vitamins: Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine), and Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin). This formulation is commonly prescribed for patients with neurological symptoms, chronic fatigue, or vitamin deficiencies. The product is supplied in a bulk pack of 1000 film-coated tablets (10 tablets per blister, 100 blisters per pack), making it well-suited for high-volume clinical use.

• Vitamin B1 (Thiamine): Supports energy metabolism and nerve cell function
• Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): Involved in amino acid metabolism and neurotransmitter production
• Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin): Essential for DNA synthesis and healthy red blood cell formation

Indications include:

• Neurological disorders (e.g., peripheral neuropathy, neuritis)
• Vitamin B deficiencies due to malnutrition, chronic illness, or alcoholism
• Supplementation in anemia, fatigue, and general weakness
• Adjunctive therapy in diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and recovery from surgery or illness

Each tablet is film-coated for stability and ease of swallowing, and this large pack size ensures long-term availability for patients requiring ongoing therapy.

How to use 3 V

3 V tablets are to be taken orally and should be used exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Correct use ensures the therapeutic efficacy of the vitamin complex, particularly in treating chronic conditions like neuropathy or anemia.

• Administration: Take with a full glass of water after meals to enhance absorption and reduce gastrointestinal discomfort.
• Tablet integrity: Swallow the tablet whole. Do not crush or chew, as the film coating helps protect the active ingredients.
• Dosing schedule: Preferably taken at the same time each day to maintain consistent vitamin levels in the body.

Important usage tips:

• If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered unless it's near the time of the next dose.
• Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• In clinical or pharmacy settings, ensure proper blister dispensing to maintain hygiene and minimize handling.

In hospital settings, these tablets can be administered as part of a broader vitamin therapy protocol. Duration of use may vary from weeks to months depending on the condition being treated.

Mode of Action 3 V

The therapeutic effect of 3 V tablets stems from the synergistic roles of its three B vitamins in maintaining cellular health, especially within the nervous and hematologic systems.

• Vitamin B1 (Thiamine):
  • Acts as a coenzyme in carbohydrate metabolism
  • Supports ATP generation and nerve impulse conduction
• Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine):
  • Converted to pyridoxal phosphate, a coenzyme in protein metabolism
  • Crucial in neurotransmitter synthesis including serotonin and dopamine
• Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin):
  • Essential for DNA synthesis and methylation reactions
  • Maintains myelin sheath integrity and aids in red blood cell production

When administered together, these vitamins:

• Promote neural repair and reduce symptoms of neuropathy
• Combat fatigue and weakness by supporting energy metabolism
• Enhance cognitive function and mood stabilization
• Correct macrocytic anemias linked to B12 deficiency

This comprehensive action profile makes 3 V ideal for treating patients with combined B-complex deficiencies, common in malnutrition, chronic disease, and post-surgical recovery.

3 V Interactions 3 V

Although generally safe, 3 V may interact with certain medications, impacting its absorption or altering drug efficacy. Awareness of potential drug interactions is crucial for healthcare professionals prescribing or dispensing this supplement.

• Levodopa: Vitamin B6 can reduce the effectiveness of levodopa when given without a decarboxylase inhibitor.
• Isoniazid, Hydralazine: May deplete pyridoxine levels, necessitating B6 supplementation.
• Phenytoin and other anticonvulsants: Can lower B vitamin levels; supplementation may reduce phenytoin efficacy.
• Metformin: Chronic use may impair vitamin B12 absorption, increasing the need for supplementation.
• Alcohol: Long-term consumption interferes with B-vitamin absorption and utilization, requiring higher doses.
• Chloramphenicol: May blunt the hematologic response to vitamin B12 in megaloblastic anemia.

Healthcare providers should monitor serum B12 and folate levels in patients on long-term medications known to interact with B-complex vitamins. Always assess for drug-nutrient interactions before initiating or continuing 3 V.

Dosage of 3 V

Dosage of 3 V should be tailored to the individual’s clinical condition, response to therapy, and nutritional requirements. It is available in a bulk pack of 1000 tablets, facilitating extended or high-frequency dosing regimens.

• Standard adult dose: 1 tablet daily, taken orally after a meal
• Neuropathy or severe deficiency: 1–2 tablets daily or as prescribed
• In elderly patients: Typically same dose as adults, though renal function should be considered

In clinical settings:

• Patients recovering from surgery, chronic illness, or gastrointestinal malabsorption may require long-term supplementation
• Vitamin B levels may be monitored periodically for dose adjustments
• Dosage may be temporarily increased in acute or symptomatic states, then reduced to maintenance levels

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose unless advised by a healthcare professional. High doses of Vitamin B6 over prolonged periods may lead to peripheral neuropathy.

Possible side effects of 3 V

3 V is usually well-tolerated, especially when taken within recommended doses. However, like all supplements, it may cause side effects in some individuals.

• Common side effects:
  • Gastrointestinal upset (nausea, abdominal discomfort, bloating)
  • Metallic taste or unpleasant aftertaste
  • Mild headache or dizziness
• Uncommon or dose-related effects:
  • Flushing, itching, or skin rash
  • Peripheral neuropathy from high-dose or long-term pyridoxine (B6) use
• Rare reactions:
  • Hypersensitivity or allergic reactions (hives, facial swelling, breathing difficulty)
  • Anaphylaxis (extremely rare with oral forms)

Side effects are generally mild and resolve with discontinuation or dosage adjustment. Promptly report any unusual or persistent symptoms to a healthcare provider, especially signs of nerve irritation or allergic reaction.

3 V Contraindications 3 V

Although 3 V is safe for most people, it is contraindicated in specific situations due to potential risk or adverse effects.

• Known allergy: Hypersensitivity to thiamine, pyridoxine, cyanocobalamin, or any excipients in the formulation
• Leber’s disease (hereditary optic neuropathy): Vitamin B12 can worsen optic nerve damage in such individuals
• History of Vitamin B6-induced neuropathy: Caution required with long-term or high-dose use

Relative contraindications and special considerations:

• Patients with renal insufficiency – dosage adjustment may be necessary due to impaired vitamin excretion
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women – use only under medical supervision
• Patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy – always consult an oncologist before taking supplements

Routine screening and history-taking should precede initiation, particularly in those with chronic illness or on polypharmacy.

Storage of 3 V

Proper storage of 3 V helps maintain its potency and shelf-life, especially in high-volume hospital or pharmacy stockrooms.

• Storage temperature: Keep at 15–25°C (59–77°F); avoid extremes of heat or cold
• Humidity control: Store in a dry place away from bathrooms or damp areas
• Light protection: Keep tablets in their original blister packs until use to shield from UV degradation
• Handling bulk packs: Minimize direct handling of individual blisters to maintain hygiene and quality

Additional guidelines:

• Keep out of reach of children
• Do not use tablets that are discolored, broken, or expired
• Follow institutional protocols for inventory rotation (e.g., First-Expired-First-Out method)

Storage instructions should be adhered to strictly in clinical settings to ensure efficacy and safety for patients receiving long-term vitamin therapy.
