What is vitamin B1 for?
Thiamine hydrochloride is very important for nucleic acids, DNA and RNA, the carriers of genes since it is part of a coenzyme that breaks down and assimilates carbohydrates. In turn, it promotes appetite and normalizes the functions of the nervous system. Also, vitamin B1 is necessary for the function of the adrenal gland and for the nerves, for the mind and for the metabolism of food and alcohol. Thiamine deficiency can produce:
- Depression
- Stunted growth
- Tissue deterioration
- Swelling of the tissues due to fluid retention
What is vitamin B6 for?
Pyridoxine hydrochloride promotes fat and protein metabolism and is involved in the transformation of the amino acid tryptophan into niacin. Also, vitamin B6 helps the heart and nerves. In turn, it helps digestion during pregnancy and to rest at night during menopause, so its consumption is highly recommended in women. A deficiency of Vitamin B6 can cause:
- Anemia
- Irritability
- Skin problems around the eyes
- Involuntary muscle contractions
- Kidney stones
What is vitamin B12 for?
Cyanocobalamin is elemental in the human body since it helps form nucleic acids, contributes to the normal function of red blood cells, and helps keep nerve cells in good condition. In turn, vitamin B12 is vital for the production of energy, for the nerves, and for the formation of cells. This vitamin is the one who converts carbohydrates and proteins into energy and helps the heart, especially it is combined with folic acid and vitamin B-6. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause:
- Burning in the tongue
- Involuntary tremors
- Pernicious anemia
- Fatigue
- Loss of weight and appetite

Side effects of Tribedoce
Although they are ingested in large quantities, the excessive consumption of supplements of many vitamins does not involve great disorders to the body. Adverse reactions with Tribedoce occur on rare occasions, considering only the Complex B presentations. If there are, they affect 1 person in 1000 who consume this medicine and may be:
- In the digestive system: Diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
- On the skin: Redness of the face, itching, allergy etc.
The following side effects occur in people with kidney failure and rarely in normal patients:
- Anaphylactic shock which is a generalized allergic reaction that begins with itching, swelling of the face or throat and leads to difficulty breathing and other symptoms.
- Alterations in the rhythm of the heart.
- Euphoria, nervousness, irritability, insomnia, etc.
Since the main risk is that of a generalized allergic reaction, it is important to notify your doctor if you think you are allergic to any of these vitamins and to report any abnormal reaction to your doctor as a precaution.
Contraindications of Tribedoce
It should not be consumed in case of suffering from any of the following conditions:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Leber’s disease
- Hypersensitivity to vitamins B1, B6 and B12, cobalamins, cyanide or cobalt
- Policitemia vera
- Smoking amblyopia
- Kidney or liver failure
In animal studies, fetal damage has been observed and there are no studies with pregnant women, so it should not be used in case of pregnancy or lactation.
Vitamin B6 presents a risk of neurological adverse effects consistent with sensory neuropathy in high doses and continuous use. Vitamin B12 can mask the diagnosis of folate deficiency megaloblastic anemia since it can increase the risk of gout. It is important that you should not expose yourself to UV rays if you consume this vitamin.
Tribedoce overdose
Because they are water-soluble vitamins, they do not accumulate in the body and an overdose is rapidly eliminated via the kidneys or through body secretions such as perspiration. In some cases, unwanted reactions and hypersensitivity may occur, so its use should be discontinued immediately to avoid worsening symptoms.
Hydroxocobalamin and thiamine hydrochloride have no risk of overdose, but pyridoxine hydrochloride is slightly toxic. If you consume doses greater than 2 g for long periods of time, it can cause sensory neuropathy or neuropathic syndromes that slowly disappear after stopping treatment. However, keep in mind that an overdose of Vitamin B-6 from the consumption of Tribedoce is unlikely since a pill or ampoule contains only 50 mg of pyridoxine hydrochloride. In this way, you should consume approximately 40 pills or ampoules to have an adverse effect on your body.
In case of overdose, some patients have noticed intense deterioration of the sense of position and vibration of the distal limbs, gradual and progressive sensory ataxia. Therefore, remember that it is important to inform your doctor if you feel any unusual symptoms and to stop using the medicine immediately.
