WHAT B-DOSE FORTE INJECTION IS 
USED FOR 
B-Dose Forte 2.5mL Injection contains the 
Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 as the 
following active ingredients: 
B1 - Thiamine hydrochloride, 
B2 - Riboflavine sodium phosphate, 
B3 - Nicotinamide, 
B5 - Dexpanthenol, 
B6 - Pyridoxine hydrochloride,   
B12 - Cyanocobalamin. 

These B vitamins are required by the body for 
normal metabolic processes in your cells, 
including the production of energy. Different 
metabolic processes need several of these B 
vitamins at the same time. Deficiencies of 
one, some or all of these vitamins in your 
cells can have serious consequences for your 
health. 

Vitamin B deficiencies: 
Vitamin B deficiencies may occur as a result 
of a diet deficient in B vitamins, malnutrition, 
or changes to the gastrointestinal tract which 
slow or prevent the absorption of B vitamins 
(e.g. abdominal surgery or some diseases of 
the gastrointestinal tract). 

A specific deficiency of vitamin B1 (thiamine) 
may cause the disease beriberi. 

A specific deficiency of vitamin B3 (niacin) 
may cause the disease pellagra.  

A specific deficiency of vitamin B12
