What is Naafvit-BZ?
Naafvit-BZ 400 mg + 40 mg + 50 mg + 100 mg + 200 mg/100 ml syrup by Naafco Pharma Ltd. is a nutritional supplement that contains Nicotinamide + Pyridoxine Hydrochloride + Riboflavin + Vitamin B1 + Zinc. In Bangladesh, it is mainly used to help prevent or treat deficiency of selected B vitamins and zinc, or to support nutrition when intake is inadequate as advised by a healthcare professional.
Nicotinamide + Pyridoxine Hydrochloride + Riboflavin + Vitamin B1 + Zinc supplies water-soluble B vitamins involved in energy metabolism and nerve function, together with zinc, an essential mineral for normal growth, immunity, and tissue repair. A key caution is to avoid taking more than the recommended dose, as excessive or long-term high intake of pyridoxine or zinc can cause harmful effects.
Indications
- Prevention and treatment of deficiency of thiamine, riboflavin, nicotinamide, pyridoxine, and zinc.
- Nutritional supplementation when dietary intake is inadequate or requirements are increased, such as during illness recovery or restricted diets, when recommended by a healthcare professional.
- Adjunctive support in conditions where a doctor has identified or suspected B-vitamin or zinc deficiency.
Dosage & Administration
Adult dosing depends on the specific product strength, diet, age, medical condition, and the reason for supplementation. Take only as directed on the label or as prescribed by a doctor; do not exceed the recommended daily amount unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.
Side Effects
- Common: nausea, stomach discomfort, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, or metallic taste, especially with zinc.
- Riboflavin may harmlessly turn urine bright yellow.
- High or prolonged doses of pyridoxine may cause numbness, tingling, or nerve damage.
- Excess zinc may cause abdominal pain, reduced copper levels, anemia, or impaired immunity.
- Rare: allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or breathing difficulty; seek urgent medical help if these occur.
Precautions & Warnings
Use with caution in people with kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, gout or high uric acid, stomach ulcer problems, or those already taking other vitamin/mineral supplements. Avoid duplicate products that contain B vitamins or zinc unless advised. Use under a registered doctor's or pharmacist's guidance, especially for children, elderly people, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and anyone with chronic illness.
Drug Interactions
- Zinc can reduce absorption of tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics; doses usually need to be separated.
- Zinc may reduce absorption of penicillamine, levothyroxine, and some bisphosphonates; ask a healthcare professional about spacing doses.
- Iron, calcium, magnesium, and high-fiber foods may reduce zinc absorption when taken together.
- Pyridoxine can reduce the effect of levodopa if levodopa is taken without carbidopa.
- Medicines such as isoniazid, cycloserine, hydralazine, and penicillamine may affect pyridoxine requirements.
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity or allergy to nicotinamide, pyridoxine, riboflavin, thiamine, zinc, or any excipient in the product.
- Do not use in cases of known toxicity or medically advised restriction of any included vitamin or zinc component.
Pregnancy & Lactation

Storage Conditions
