Maintains integrity of mucosal barriers and supports T-cell mediated immunity. # VITAMIN B1 (Thiamine) Functions as a coenzyme in the form of thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), facilitating carbohydrate metabolism and energy production through the pentose phosphate pathway and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex.

How to take this drug

For adults, take 1 to 2 tablets daily or 1 to 2 teaspoons of syrup (like Novavite Syrup) daily, preferably with food so your body absorbs it better. Take it at the same time each day so you don't forget. You can take it with or after meals.

What if I Miss a Dose?

If you miss a dose, just take it as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue as normal. Don't take double to make up for it — one dose is enough.

What to watch out for

Always buy from a reputable pharmacy — avoid roadside sellers or open market tablets that may be expired or fake. Do not take more than the recommended dose thinking it will work faster — too much of Vitamins A and D can actually be dangerous. Eating a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, and proteins is still important alongside this supplement.

Common Side Effects

Mild stomach upset or nausea
slight change in urine colour (it may turn bright yellow — this is normal and harmless)
mild diarrhea or constipation
slight headache in some people

Serious Side Effects

Severe allergic reaction such as swelling of the face
lips
or throat and difficulty breathing — go to the hospital immediately. If you notice signs of Vitamin A overdose like severe headache
blurred vision
or peeling skin
stop taking it and see a doctor right away.

Drug Interactions

If you are taking blood thinners like warfarin, the vitamins (especially Vitamin C and Vitamin A) may affect how the drug works — inform your doctor. Antacids and ulcer drugs can reduce absorption of some of these vitamins, so take them at least 2 hours apart. Alcohol can reduce how well your body absorbs B vitamins, so limit your intake.
