COLEX-C SYRUP

Colex-C Syrup

What the product appears to be

Colex-C Syrup — 100 mL
Label description: B-Complex with Vitamin C Syrup

So it is intended as a vitamin B-complex + vitamin C preparation, rather than an antibiotic, cough suppressant, or steroid.

What the B-complex generally provides

Depending on the manufacturer/formulation, B-complex syrups can contain:

VitaminCommon nameMain roleVitamin B1ThiamineCarbohydrate/energy metabolism and nerve functionVitamin B2RiboflavinEnergy metabolism and cellular functionVitamin B3Niacinamide/NicotinamideEnergy metabolism and skin/nervous-system functionVitamin B5D-panthenol/pantothenateCoenzyme and energy metabolismVitamin B6PyridoxineAmino-acid metabolism, nervous system and blood-cell formationVitamin B12Cyanocobalamin/methylcobalaminRed-blood-cell and neurological functionVitamin CAscorbic acidAntioxidant function, collagen formation and iron absorption

For comparison, a commercially listed B-Colex syrup from the same broad product family is reported to contain B1, B2, B6, nicotinamide, D-panthenol and B12, but that does not establish that it is the same formulation as the Colex-C bottle in your photograph. (Apollo Pharmacy)

There is also a product called B-Colex-C injection, whose documented formulation is completely different from a syrup: vitamin C 150 mg + vitamin B12 2500 mcg + folic acid 0.7 mg + niacinamide 12 mg. (Truemeds) That composition should not be used for the syrup.

What I need to give you the exact composition

Please send a close-up photo of the side/back panel of the box, especially the section beginning with something like:

“Each 5 mL contains…”

Then I can give you, in detail:

• every ingredient

• exact mg/mcg per 5 mL

• amount in the full 100-mL bottle

• what each vitamin does

• usual uses

• possible side effects

• whether it is appropriate for children/adults

• how its dose compares with daily vitamin requirements

I don't want to guess the quantities from this image, because different B-complex + vitamin C syrups have substantially different strengths.
