Common Side Effects:
Rare but Serious Side Effects:
-
Allergic reactions: Symptoms may include swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, rash, or difficulty breathing. If these occur, immediate medical attention is needed.
-
Skin reactions: Rash or itching in some individuals.
-
High doses of Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) over long periods may lead to nerve damage, causing numbness or tingling sensations.
Note: High doses of Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) may rarely cause skin irritation or a rash. If these symptoms persist, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.
Contraindications:
Vitagen Forte should be avoided or used with caution in the following conditions:
-
Hypersensitivity or Allergic Reactions:
-
Contraindicated in individuals who have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients (Vitamin B1, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, or any excipients in the formulation).
-
Severe Liver Disease:
-
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:
-
Vitagen Forte can generally be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding when prescribed by a healthcare professional. However, doses should be closely monitored to avoid hypervitaminosis (excessive levels of vitamins), which may have adverse effects on both mother and baby.
-
Kidney Disease:
-
People with kidney disorders should consult their doctor before taking Vitagen Forte, as certain forms of Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) may accumulate in the body in individuals with kidney problems, leading to toxicity.
-
Excessive Vitamin B6 Intake:
-
Vitamin B6 should be used cautiously in individuals who have been prescribed high doses of pyridoxine for other conditions (e.g., for pyridoxine-dependent seizures), as high levels can lead to neuropathy.
Precautions:
-
Chronic Conditions:
-
Individuals with diabetes, alcohol dependence, or those on chemotherapy may require additional monitoring, as these conditions can interfere with vitamin absorption and utilization.
-
Vitamin B12 Deficiency:
-
Drug Interactions:
-
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) can interfere with the efficacy of certain medications like levodopa (used for Parkinson's disease) and phenytoin (an anticonvulsant). If you are taking these or similar medications, consult your doctor before taking Vitagen Forte.
-
Alcohol can interfere with Vitamin B absorption, so excessive alcohol consumption should be avoided while taking this supplement.
Overdose:
Symptoms of overdose may include nausea, vomiting, and nervous system effects like tingling, numbness, or difficulty walking (especially from excess Vitamin B6). If an overdose is suspected, contact a healthcare professional or poison control center immediately.

Vitagen Forte 300mg/100mg/100mcg is a highly effective combination supplement that provides essential vitamins B1, B6, and B12 to support overall health, improve energy, and treat deficiencies. It is especially beneficial for those with conditions like neuropathy, chronic fatigue, or malabsorption. However, it should be used with caution in individuals with certain medical conditions, and dosage should be adjusted as needed based on the person's health status. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting this or any new supplement regimen.
