Comist Forte

Comist Forte Injection, manufactured by Amista Labs, is a potent multi-vitamin formula designed for intramuscular (IM) or intravenous (IV) administration. It is specifically engineered to address severe nutritional gaps and neurological concerns by delivering a high-concentration blend of essential B-complex vitamins directly into the bloodstream.

Core Composition and Ingredients

The efficacy of Comist Forte lies in its synergistic combination of five key B-vitamins. Each 2ml ampoule contains:

• Methylcobalamin (1000 mcg): The most biologically active form of Vitamin B12. Unlike Cyanocobalamin, it is readily utilized by the body to support the myelin sheath (the protective coating of nerves) and promote nerve regeneration.

• Thiamine HCL (Vitamin B1, 100 mg): Essential for glucose metabolism and maintaining healthy nerve function.

• Pyridoxine HCL (Vitamin B6, 100 mg): A vital coenzyme for amino acid metabolism and the synthesis of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.

• Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3, 100 mg): Crucial for cellular energy production and DNA repair.

• D-Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5, 50 mg): Supports the synthesis of coenzyme A, which is necessary for fatty acid metabolism and adrenal health.

• Benzyl Alcohol (2% v/v): Included as a preservative to maintain the sterility and stability of the solution.

Primary Therapeutic Uses

Comist Forte is primarily utilized in clinical settings—specifically within General Practice (GP) and Orthopedics—to treat conditions where oral supplementation is insufficient.

1. Management of Neuropathy This is the most common application for the product. It is highly effective in managing Diabetic Neuropathy and Peripheral Neuropathy. By providing high doses of Methylcobalamin, it helps repair damaged nerve fibers, reducing symptoms like tingling, numbness, and “pins and needles” sensations in the extremities.

2. Vitamin B-Complex Deficiencies Severe deficiencies can lead to conditions like Beriberi, Pellagra, or Macrocytic Anemia. This injection provides a rapid corrective dose to restore systemic balance.

3. Red Blood Cell Production Vitamin B12 and B6 are critical components in the formation of healthy red blood cells. Supplementation helps prevent and treat certain types of anemia, ensuring optimal oxygen transport throughout the body.

4. Metabolic and Energy Support By acting as catalysts in the conversion of food into energy, these vitamins help combat chronic fatigue and weakness, particularly in patients recovering from long-term illnesses or surgery.

Mechanism of Action

When administered, the vitamins bypass the digestive system entirely. This is critical for patients with malabsorption issues (such as those with Crohn’s disease or those who have undergone gastric surgery). The Methylcobalamin acts directly on the neurons to stimulate protein synthesis and promote the regeneration of axonal myelin. Simultaneously, the Thiamine and Nicotinamide accelerate mitochondrial energy production, providing the “fuel” needed for cellular repair.

Administration and Safety

Important Note: Comist Forte is a prescription-only medication. It must be administered by a healthcare professional via the IM or IV route.

• Packaging: It comes in a “Dispo Pack” containing 1×2 ml ampoules.

• Pricing: The Maximum Retail Price (MRP) is approximately ₹75 per injection.

• Storage: Should be stored in a cool, dark place, protected from direct sunlight to prevent the degradation of sensitive vitamins like B12.
