The modern world is full of stress. An emotional background is what determines a person’s state of health and self-awareness. When the nerves are at the limit, everything around is annoying and causes negativity - it's hard to be fun and healthy. In such difficult periods, Milgamma comes to the rescue - a complex of B vitamins in therapeutic concentrations.
Release form
The drug is available in the form of ampoules with a solution for intramuscular administration. In a package of 10 ampoules. Each volume of 2 ml.
The drug involves a standard injection without dilution with medical fluids. The optimal injection site is the gluteus maximus muscle or quadriceps. After the injection, a light massage of the injection site is necessary to prevent the formation of abscesses.
It is also produced in Milgamma tablets, 60 pieces per pack (the concentration of active substances is the same in any form of release).
Milgamma tablets are just as effective as injectable use.
The composition of the drug
The instruction to Milgamma reports that one ampoule contains:
- thiamine hydrochloride - 100 mg;
- lidocaine hydrochloride - 20 mg;
- pyridoxine hydrochloride - 100 mg;
- cyanocobalamin - 1 mg.
It is known that different B vitamins antagonize with each other, preventing successful absorption. The instruction to Milgamma reports that the composition of the preparation includes vitamins in a special structural formula of hydrochloride, which allows for the complete assimilation of each component.
The principle of operation of the components
Each vitamin has a special effect on the body. Here is a detailed analysis of the composition of the Milgamma:
- Thiamine, or vitamin B 1 , regulates the basic processes in the central nervous system. It plays a crucial role in carbohydrate metabolism, as well as in the Krebs cycle with subsequent participation in the synthesis of TPF. With its deficiency, a person becomes aggressive, irritable, quick-tempered. This vitamin is usually not enough in people suffering from chronic alcoholism, chronic kidney and liver diseases.
- Pyridoxine, or vitamin B 6 , is actively involved in the metabolism. Its deficiency negatively affects the condition of the skin and hair. With its lack of magnesium absorption is disrupted. The patient often develops obesity, he becomes prone to gain weight.
- Cyanocobalamin, or vitamin B 12 , takes an active part in the synthesis of the myelin sheath, stimulates hematopoiesis, and reduces pain associated with damage to the peripheral nervous system. with its deficiency, asthenia, depression, chronic fatigue develops. A person acutely feels any, even minor pain.
Indications for use
Neurologists often prescribe Milgamma to their patients. Indications for use of the drug are as follows:
- osteochondrosis of the cervical and thoracic spine;
- chronic fatigue and depression;
- migraine;
- alopecia (baldness);
- progressive myopia;
- paresis of the facial nerve;
- alcoholic polyneuropathy;
- withdrawal and post-withdrawal syndrome;
- radiculopathy;
- night muscle cramps.
Contraindications and side effects
The instruction to Milgamma reports that the drug is almost completely safe. It is not recommended to use it for children under ten years of age. In case of pregnancy and lactation, it is imperative to consult a doctor.
In case of an overdose, the appearance of dermatological reactions (itching, urticaria, acne), as well as an upset gastrointestinal tract (diarrhea). In rare cases, the development of mild tremor of the extremities is possible (fingertips tremble, mild nerve tic). These side effects go completely after the drug is completely discontinued.
What is more effective - injections or pills?
Among neurologists, there is still an opinion that preparations of B vitamins are practically not absorbed when passing through the gastrointestinal tract. Milgamma injections are much more effective, since when injected, the active substance enters the bloodstream almost immediately. However, laboratory studies refute this. The drug in tablets is as effective as Milgamma in injections.
The tablet form is much more convenient to use when treating at home. Pills should be taken after meals, drinking plenty of clean water.
With the independent administration of the drug through a syringe, the formation of abscesses is possible. If the patient nevertheless decides to give injections on his own, it is necessary to carefully monitor compliance with sterility and undergo a course of training with medical personnel.

Reviews on admission during the period of abstinence
Especially worth mentioning is the miraculous effect of Milgamma in ampoules on people in a state of hangover and withdrawal. With chronic alcoholism and even just frequent abuse of alcoholic beverages, B vitamins are washed out, which leads to their deficiency. The toxic effect of alcohol on the body is accompanied in 85% of cases by a deficiency of thiamine and pyridoxine.
