Abstract

Combined vitamin preparations containing thiamine (vitamin B1), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), and cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) are widely used in medical practice. The results of investigations have confirmed that it is expedient to potentiate an analgesic effect due to the concurrent use of vitamin B group and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs given to relieve significant neuropathic pain. Milgamma compositum (Wörwag Pharma, Germany) is one of the most studied drugs on the Russian market, which contains a combination of vitamin B group (including benfotiamin).
