Active ingredients

The drug NEUROGEN contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):

1 Vitamin B12
UNII P6YC3EG204 - CYANOCOBALAMIN

Hydroxocobalamin is used in the treatment and prevention of Vitamin B12 deficiency. For adults, the daily requirement of Vitamin B12 is probably about 1 to 2 micrograms and this amount is present in most normal diets. However, Vitamin B12 only occurs in animal products, not in vegetables, and therefore strict vegetarian or vegan diets that exclude dairy products may provide an inadequate amount, although a deficiency may not be apparent for many years.

3 Vitamin B1
UNII 8K0I04919X - THIAMINE MONONITRATE

Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), the coenzymatic form of thiamine, is involved in two main types of metabolic reactions: decarboxylation of ฮฑ-ketoacids (e.g. pyruvate, ฮฑ-ketoglutarate and branched-chain keto acids) and transketolation (e.g. among hexose and pentose phosphates). Therefore, the principal physiological role of thiamine is as a coenzyme in carbohydrate metabolism, where TPP is required for several stages in the breakdown of glucose to provide energy.
