Combination of vitamin B-1, B-6 and B-12 was banned in Europe and rest of the world long ago since it is useless and does no good to anyone i.e. lack of efficacy despite claims. In India, similar combinations under the brand names of Neurobion, Neurotrat etc were banned two years ago. Many manufacturers just added nicotinic acid and calcium etc to evade the law. The government is keeping quiet. No alternatives are available since they are not required.
