Special Instructions
According to doctors' reviews of the instructions, "Pentovit" does not cause a large number of negative consequences when this vitamin preparation interacts with other drugs. However, it has its own special instructions:
- The intake of vitamins does not affect the ability to drive vehicles and other complex or moving mechanisms. This is due to the fact that, despite the effect of the drug on the activity of the central nervous system, it does not affect the rate of reactions in the psychomotor area.
- The vitamin preparation is not recommended to be taken in conjunction with Levodopa. This is due to a decrease in the therapeutic effect of Levodopa due to vitamin B6.

Negative reviews
There are not so many negative patients. According to negative reviews about Pentovit vitamins, hair loss from taking a vitamin preparation has not stopped, but not even decreased. Regarding the effect on nervous activityThe body also has negative opinions. Reviews of "Pentovite", as a sedative, are also not comforting.
There are also reviews that due to the intake of vitamins, problems with weight began. For no apparent reason, he began to quickly and noticeably gain. There are cases when discomfort in the abdomen and delayed menstruation began from taking vitamins.
There are negative reviews about the instructions for "Pentovit" in relation to the price and number of receptions. The ratio of the price and the number of tablets drunk suggests that the monthly course draws an average of more than five hundred rubles. In addition, it is not convenient for many to remember to take vitamins five times a day.
Reviews about the instructions for "Pentovit" in relation to improving the condition of hair and skin are also disappointing. Some of the people who have problems with bruising under the eyes and falling hair brush aside the complete lack of results. Those who drank a vitamin preparation to improve the quality of the egg when planning a pregnancy also noted the absence of a positive effect.
Neutral Feedback
You can find a lot of positive-negative feedback on the instructions for use of Pentovit. Based on it, according to which, after taking a vitamin preparation, hair loss should decrease, the condition of nails should improve and the state of the nervous system should return to normal, the reviews of some patients turned out to be neutral.
There are several reviews about "Pentovite" with repeated course admission. After the first course of taking the complex, the condition really improved noticeablyhair. They began to fall out less and began to grow intensively. In addition, the nails began to grow at a very high rate. At the same time, sharp mood swings appeared in people who had never suffered from this.
After the second course, six months later, reviews of "Pentovit" have changed dramatically. Firstly, no positive result was noticeable, and secondly, side effects appeared, for example:
- began to worry about constant headaches;
- dizzy;
- there was a general weakness in the body;
- there was a feeling of numbness, especially in the limbs;
- joint aches and problems getting up in the morning;
- a serious allergy broke out on the face and décolleté;
- coordination problems.
According to the reviews on the instructions for "Pentovit", such different opinions appeared due to the fact that in the first case there was a clear deficiency of vitamin B in the body, and in the second case the content of the vitamin was normal. Therefore, an overdose of B vitamins caused such a strong reaction in the body.
There are absolutely opposite reviews. In some people, after taking it, there was no noticeable improvement in the condition of nails and hair, but the nervous system calmed down. Despite previously tormented sleep problems, taking a vitamin preparation helped to improve it. Patients began to fall asleep quickly, slept peacefully, without dreams. Also, getting up from sleep was quick and easy. And the patient himself woke up rested. After the end of the course, the problems returned.
In relation to the Pentovit vitamins, the reviews are mostly neutral, that is, either the effect was small, or it was radically different in different areas.
Positive feedback
There are almost as many positive reviews about the vitamin preparation as the rest. Some reviews of "Pentovite" relate to the relief of symptoms in premenstrual syndrome. When taking vitamins five days before the expected start of the menstrual cycle, the pain in the lower abdomen disappeared, and the mood swings disappeared.
There are also reviews regarding hair loss. Some noticed not only the cessation of shedding, but also an increase in their growth.
You can also find reviews regarding getting rid of a nervous tic in connection with the use of Pentovit. Patients suffering from twitching in the corners of one of the eyelids noted a noticeable decrease in it. After a while, the tick disappeared completely. After the end of the course, the return of symptoms was not observed.
Vitamins "Pentovit" are intended exclusively for people who have been diagnosed with a lack of B vitamins in the body. Taking them in the absence of a deficiency can cause very unpleasant symptoms. Therefore, before using them, you should definitely consult a doctor.
