TPC is a high-potency film-coated tablet containing a combination of three essential B-vitamins: Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine), and Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin). Often referred to as “Neuro B,” it is designed to treat deficiencies and support the regeneration of damaged nerve fibers. Produced by The ACME Laboratories Ltd., it is a leading choice for neurological support in Bangladesh.
What is TPC Used For?
TPC Tablet is primarily prescribed for the treatment and prophylaxis of:
-
Neuropathy: Diabetic, alcoholic, or toxic neuropathies.
-
Neuralgia: Severe nerve pain, including Trigeminal neuralgia and Intercostal neuralgia.
-
Neuritis: Inflammation of the nerves, such as Optic neuritis.
-
Musculoskeletal Pain: Lumbago (lower back pain), Sciatica, and Myalgia (muscle pain).
-
Nerve Disorders: Facial paresis (Bell’s palsy), Shoulder-arm syndrome, and Herpes Zoster symptoms.
Clinical Insight: These vitamins act as co-enzymes in the metabolism of the nervous system. According to research on neurotropic vitamins, this combination is more effective in reducing nerve pain and promoting healing than using the vitamins individually.

Dosage
For adults and adolescents, the standard dosage is:
-
Maintenance/Mild Cases: 1 tablet once daily.
-
Therapeutic/Severe Cases: 1 to 3 tablets per day, or as directed by a physician.
The tablets should be swallowed whole with water, preferably after a meal to enhance absorption and minimize stomach upset.
Common Side Effects

-
Mild nausea or abdominal discomfort
-
Allergic reactions (rash or itching)
-
Dizziness
-
Slight change in urine color (common with B-vitamins)
2026 Safety Update: High-dose Pyridoxine (B6) used over very long periods can sometimes lead to peripheral sensory neuropathy. Patients are advised to follow the prescribed duration and consult a doctor if they notice any tingling or numbness that persists. General safety profiles for these vitamins are regularly updated by the Mayo Clinic.

Spinal Cord Health: Patients with subacute degeneration of the spinal cord should use B12 with caution.
-
Hypersensitivity: Do not use if you have a known allergy to any of the B-vitamins.
