1. What is Vitaminum B Teva and what is it used for

Vitamin B belongs to the group of water-soluble B vitamins. The most important function of riboflavin in the body is its participation in tissue respiration processes. Riboflavin, together with other substances, participates in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, catalyzing the oxidation processes of glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids. Vitamin B also participates in the twilight vision process. It is necessary for maintaining the proper function of mucous membranes and the epithelium of blood vessels. It also conditions the proper functioning of the nervous system and skin.
Taking vitamin B is required by people who consume a vitamin-deficient diet or those who, for physiological reasons (e.g., pregnancy, breastfeeding, physical exertion) or due to illness, have an increased demand for vitamins, as well as patients with intestinal absorption disorders.
Indications for use:

prophylaxis and supplementation of vitamin B deficiency,
auxiliary:

in therapy with diuretics,
after antibiotic therapy,
before and after surgical procedures,
in disorders of liver, stomach, and intestine function, combined with persistent diarrhea,
in chronic and debilitating diseases (diabetes, infections of various origins, skin inflammatory conditions, hyperthyroidism, psychosomatic diseases, alcoholism).

2. Important information before taking Vitaminum B Teva

When not to take Vitaminum B Teva:

if the patient is allergic to riboflavin or any of the other ingredients of the medicine.

Warnings and precautions

Vitamin B should be used with caution in patients with renal insufficiency, as the medicine is excreted in the urine (which may lead to an excessive concentration of vitamin B).
During the administration of high doses of vitamin B, laboratory test results may be disturbed (determination of catecholamine levels in urine by fluorometry, determination of urobilinogen levels using Ehrlich's reagent).
High doses of vitamin B can cause a change in urine color to dark yellow (urine takes on the color of a water solution of riboflavin).

Vitaminum B Teva and other medicines

Anticholinergic medicines, e.g., atropine, may affect the absorption of riboflavin.
Doxorubicin may delay, and methotrexate may reduce the effect of vitamin B.
Tricyclic antidepressants and phenothiazine derivatives (e.g., chlorpromazine), probenecid, hormonal contraceptives, used in high doses, may weaken the effect of vitamin B (an increase in the dose of riboflavin may be required).
Vitamin B should not be taken (also in combination with other vitamins) at the same time as tetracycline. Also, long-term use of other antibiotics may reduce the effect of riboflavin.
Thiazide diuretics (e.g., hydrochlorothiazide) may increase the excretion of vitamin B from the body.
Vitamin B enhances the effect of pyridoxine and nicotinic acid.
Alcohol and tobacco reduce the absorption of vitamin B from the gastrointestinal tract.

Vitaminum B Teva with food and drink

Alcohol reduces the absorption of vitamin B from the gastrointestinal tract.
