What it is for
The front of the pack describes it as a high-potency vitamin B-complex with vitamin C.
How to take it
Take it as the directions on the pack say, or as your doctor advises.
- Follow the pack or your doctor on how many tablets to take, and when.
- Warning: On a medicine listed under interactions below? Check there before your first tablet.
- Taking another supplement too? Add its vitamin B6 and nicotinamide to this tablet’s before you compare with the upper limits below.
How much you get, against the upper limits
Nicotinamide is above the US limit. Vitamin B6 and vitamin C are below every limit listed.
| Nutrient | Per tablet | Upper limit, by authority | This tablet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nicotinamide | Per tablet: 100 mg | Upper limit, by authority: US (NIH ODS): 35 mg, a limit covering both forms of niacin. EFSA: 900 mg for nicotinamide. NHS: 500 mg a day or less is unlikely to cause harm. | This tablet: Above US. Well below EFSA and NHS. |
| Vitamin B6 | Per tablet: 5 mg | Upper limit, by authority: US (NIH ODS): 100 mg. EFSA (2023): 12 mg. NHS: no more than 10 mg a day from supplements unless a doctor advises. | This tablet: Below all three. |
| Vitamin C | Per tablet: 500 mg | Upper limit, by authority: US (NIH ODS): 2,000 mg. | This tablet: Below. |
| Vitamin B1 | Per tablet: 15 mg | Upper limit, by authority: No upper limit set. NHS: 100 mg a day or less is unlikely to cause harm. | This tablet: Below the NHS figure. |
| Vitamin B2 | Per tablet: 10 mg | Upper limit, by authority: No upper limit set. NHS: 40 mg a day or less is unlikely to cause harm. | This tablet: Below the NHS figure. |
| Calcium pantothenate and vitamin B12 | Per tablet: 20 mg; 4 mcg | Upper limit, by authority: No formal upper limit set. NHS: 200 mg or less of pantothenic acid, and 2 mg or less of vitamin B12, a day from supplements is unlikely to cause harm. | This tablet: Both far below the NHS figures. |
The US limit of 35 mg covers both forms of niacin. EFSA sets nicotinamide separately, at 900 mg.
Side effects
What NIH ODS documents for these nutrients, and the dose it appears at compared with this tablet.
| Nutrient | What can happen | At what dose |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin C | What can happen: Diarrhoea, nausea and stomach cramps are the most common (NIH ODS). | At what dose: The NHS says more than 1,000 mg a day can cause stomach pain, diarrhoea and flatulence: twice this tablet’s 500 mg. |
| Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) | What can happen: Discoloured urine. | At what dose: At 400 mg a day for migraine prevention, noted as a minimal side effect by the Canadian Headache Society, via NIH ODS. This tablet contains 10 mg. |
| Nicotinamide | What can happen: Flushing is not expected. | At what dose: NIH ODS states that nicotinamide does not cause flushing. Flushing comes from nicotinic acid, a different form of niacin. |
Drug interactions
On any of these medicines, speak to your doctor first. Source: NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.
| Medicine | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Isoniazid and pyrazinamide | What happens: They are structural analogues of niacin and disrupt the body’s conversion of tryptophan to niacin. | What to do: Speak to your doctor first. |
| Metformin, and acid-reducing drugs such as omeprazole and ranitidine | What happens: NIH ODS: metformin “might reduce the absorption of vitamin B12”; acid-reducing drugs can interfere with absorbing vitamin B12 from food. | What to do: Speak to your doctor first. |
| Phenytoin, carbamazepine and valproic acid | What happens: They increase the breakdown of vitamin B6, lowering its active form. | What to do: Speak to your doctor first. |
| Chemotherapy and radiotherapy | What happens: This tablet contains vitamin C, an antioxidant. | What to do: Talk to the treating doctor before any antioxidant supplement, including vitamin C. |
Surbex T contains no zinc, so the gap the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements gives for zinc supplements with quinolone antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin, and tetracyclines, does not apply to it (NIH: take the antibiotic at least 2 hours before, or 4 to 6 hours after, the zinc). It does apply to Surbex Z, which contains zinc. On any antibiotic, follow the gap on its own label.
When to speak to a doctor first
Before taking Surbex T, speak to a doctor if any of these apply to you.
- Warning: You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Warning: You take any medicine in the interactions table above.
- Warning: You are having chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
Surbex T vs Surbex Z
Surbex Z adds zinc, vitamin E and folic acid and has four times the vitamin B6. Surbex T has neither the extra nutrients nor the higher B6.
| Per tablet | Surbex T | Surbex Z |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin C | Surbex T: 500 mg | Surbex Z: 500 mg |
| Nicotinamide | Surbex T: 100 mg | Surbex Z: 100 mg |
| Calcium pantothenate | Surbex T: 20 mg | Surbex Z: 20 mg |
| Vitamin B1 | Surbex T: 15 mg | Surbex Z: 15 mg |
| Vitamin B2 | Surbex T: 10 mg | Surbex Z: 15 mg |
| Vitamin B6 | Surbex T: 5 mg | Surbex Z: 20 mg |
| Vitamin B12 | Surbex T: 4 mcg | Surbex Z: 12 mcg* |
| Folic acid | Surbex T: None | Surbex Z: 150 mcg* |
| Zinc | Surbex T: None | Surbex Z: 22.5 mg |
| Vitamin E | Surbex T: None | Surbex Z: 30 IU in a 2013 DRAP letter; the registry’s label-claim field says 10U (not yet confirmed from the carton) |
| DRAP registration | Surbex T: 000046 | Surbex Z: 010972 |
* For Surbex Z, two DRAP documents give different figures: a 2013 DRAP letter gives 12mcg and 150mcg; the registry’s label-claim field writes “Acid Folic 150mg,Vit B12 12mg”. We give the letter’s micrograms and read the field’s milligrams as a data-entry error (DRAP does not say so). Neither document is a decision on the composition, and we have not yet confirmed these figures from the carton.
Vitamin B6: Surbex T’s 5 mg sits below the EFSA (12 mg) and NHS (10 mg) figures, while Surbex Z’s 20 mg is above both. If you want a B-complex without going over those limits, Surbex T is the one to look at.
Returns and replacements
Medicines and supplements can’t be returned once they have left our pharmacy.
- Returned medicine can never go back into saleable stock. That is a safety rule, not a commercial one.
- If an item arrives damaged or wrong, tell us on WhatsApp within 24 hours and we replace it. That is us fixing our mistake, not a return.
- Anything that arrives expired or within a month of expiry we replace or refund, your choice, with no time limit.
Frequently asked questions
Surbex T kis liye hai?
The front of the pack describes it as a high-potency vitamin B-complex with vitamin C. It contains no zinc, no vitamin E and no folic acid. We sell it without asking for a prescription.
Surbex T aur Surbex Z mein kya farq hai?
Surbex Z adds zinc, vitamin E and folic acid, and has four times the vitamin B6: 20 mg against Surbex T’s 5 mg. It also has more vitamin B2 and B12. Surbex T’s 5 mg of B6 is below the EFSA and NHS figures; Surbex Z’s 20 mg is above both.
Can I take Surbex T with antibiotics?
Surbex T contains no zinc, so the gap the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements gives for zinc supplements with quinolone antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin, and tetracyclines, does not apply to it. Two tuberculosis medicines, isoniazid and pyrazinamide, are in its interactions table: if you take either, speak to your doctor first. For any other antibiotic, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

DRAP registration
- SURBEX-T TAB (000046), Abbott Laboratories (Pakistan) Limited. DRAP’s registry shows: Provisionally Active, “Not Verified”.
DRAP publishes no definition of this verification flag, so we can’t tell you what it means. We searched DRAP’s website for “Surbex” on 16 October 2026 and found no alert naming Surbex. When we tested it, the search did not find a word that appears only inside an alert’s attached PDF, so an alert that names a product only in its PDF may not show up. DRAP describes its registered products index as a provisional list that “cannot be used as a reference for any purpose”. Checked against the registry on .
