WHAT IV B-DOSE INJECTION IS USED 
FOR 
IV B-Dose 2mL Injection contains the 
Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6 as the 
following active ingredients: 
B1 - Thiamine hydrochloride, 
B2 - Riboflavine sodium phosphate, 
B3 - Nicotinamide, 
B5 - Dexpanthenol, 
B6 - Pyridoxine hydrochloride,   

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. 

This particular B-Dose Injection is appropriate 
for patients who may not tolerate higher 
doses of the B vitamins and/or for patients 
that may not like intramuscular injections. 

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 beri

IV B-DOSE 2ML INJECTION is a B Complex mixture of B1, B2, B3, B5 and

indications described below, and/or for patients who may not tolerate
higher doses of the B vitamins and/or for patients that may not
