Pharmocology
Vitamin , is essential for life and deficiency brings about the fatal disease of megaloblastic anaemia and/or neurological symptoms. Moreover, vitamin B1, acts as a coenzyme in many important enzymatic processes. BETOLVEX® INJECTION Betolvex® injection is a vitamin B12-tannin complex suspended in a sesame oil-aluminium monostearate gel. Vitamin B1, is gradually released from the site of injection over a long period, simultaneously replenishing the stores in the liver.
It is well established that injections of aqueous solutions of vitamin B1, bring about a short-lasting rise in the serum level, without providing surplus vitamin B1, for replenishing body stores. As the treatment of a deficiency disease can only be considered satisfactory when the patient’s physiological condition becomes completely normal, the Dumex research laboratories have developed a vitamin B, preparation with prolonged action. Indications In the prophylaxis and therapy of pernicious anaemia and other conditions with vitamin B1, deficiency.
Examples of such conditions are:
Total gastrectomy. which is always accompanied by hypovitarninosia.
