B vitamins have a positive effect in inflammatory and degenerative pathologies of the nervous and musculoskeletal systems.

Vitamin B1 or thiamine is necessary for the proper metabolism of carbohydrates, it takes part in the Krebs cycle, in the transmission of nerve signals.

Vitamin B6 or pyridoxine is important for the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, the normal functioning of the peripheral and central nervous system, blood formation, biosynthesis of catecholamines, transmission of nerve impulses.

Thiamine and pyridoxine enhance the effect of each other and have a positive effect on the heart and blood vessels, nervous system, neuromuscular connection.

Vitamin B12 or cyanocobalamin is involved in the formation of nucleotides and myelin, in the metabolism of folic acid, it is necessary for normal growth and proper development of epithelial cells. Its deficiency leads to anemia.

Lidocaine has an analgesic effect at the injection site, dilates blood vessels, and improves the absorption of vitamins. It blocks the conduct of pain signals along nerve fibers.

After the injection, vitamin B1 is rapidly absorbed into the blood, its maximum concentration is noted after 15 minutes. It is not deposited in the body, therefore it must be supplied with food daily. It is excreted in the urine for 2 days. In the body, vitamin B1 is metabolized.

Vitamin B6 is rapidly absorbed at the injection site, about 80% of the administered dosage binds to proteins. Pyridoxine is metabolized in the liver. It is excreted with urine after 2-5 hours after absorption.

Up to 90% of vitamin B12 binds to proteins, its highest concentration is achieved one hour after the injection. Passing through the liver, vitamin B12 is metabolized. It is excreted in urine and bile, if kidney function is impaired, it can be completely excreted through the intestines.

After introduction into the muscle, the highest concentration of lidocaine is observed after a maximum of 15 minutes. Up to 80% of the dosage is combined with plasma proteins. In the liver, lidocaine is metabolized, excreted in the urine.

All active components of the drug penetrate the BBB and the placenta, excreted in breast milk.
