- Essential B vitamins are generally well tolerated. Instances of sensitivity are rare. If you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction at any time while taking this product, immediately discontinue use.
- Trivit-B Complex might interfere with other medicines including but not limited to the following listed below, so inform your healthcare professional before taking.
Vitamin B1 in large doses can lower blood pressure, therefore caution is recommended to those taking drugs or supplements that lower blood pressure. Caution is advised in people with diabetes or high blood sugar, and in those taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that affect blood sugar or that widen blood vessels.

Vitamin B12 in large doses may interact with the drug Chloramphenicol to a high degree. Chloramphenicol might decrease the making of new blood cells. Taking Chloramphenicol for a long time might decrease the effects of vitamin B12 on new blood cells; however, most people only take Chloramphenicol for a short time so this interaction isn't a big problem.
There are no known toxic levels of vitamin B12.
