Pyridoxine (B6) is necessary for the proper functioning of all parts of the nervous system.

This is also indicated in the instructions for use for Neuromultivit.
Reviews about tablets and ampoules are also negative. Patients say that this remedy has low efficacy and high cost compared to other similar medicines. They claim that multivitamins did not help them, and the specialist was forced to resort to prescribing more serious drugs. In addition, in this category of patients, pronounced adverse reactions were observed in the form of severe nausea, stool disorders, and skin manifestations.
However, the reviews of the doctors themselves say the opposite. Experts are confident in the high effectiveness of this medication, but note that it should be used as an aid in the development of the above diseases, and not as an independent medication. With complex therapy, according to doctors, these vitamins are able to enhance the effect of essential drugs on the body, as well as normalize metabolism, conduct nerve impulses, and blood flow to brain tissue. Doctors say that they prescribe this medicine for almost all pathologies of the nervous system, for osteochondrosis and muscle pain syndromes of unknown origin.
