Dibencozide is a form of vitamin B12, since it is a nutritional supplement and not a medication, the side effect profiles and contraindications have not been studied.

However, it is important not to use it more often than directed, as too much Vitamin B12 can cause health problems.

And additional information from Roy in response to another post:


ACTIONS:
Dibencozide increases the protein efficiency coefficient, i.e., the percentage of bound nitrogen for protein build up in the body compared to ingested nitrogen with food intake. The initial sign of effectiveness is manifested by a marked increased in appetite.

Thus, dibencozide:
- facilitates optimum utilization of dietary protein intake
- contributes to the formation and repair of body tissues
- stimulates appetite

INDICATIONS:
Premature babies, low birth weight, retarded growth, poor appetite in infants, children and adults, adjuvant to treatment of tuberculosis and other chronic ailments, convalescence from acute infection or surgery, faulty nutrition in older people.

DOSAGE:
- Premature babies and infants: 1 capsule daily (The capsule may be opened and the odorless, tasteless powder mixed with milk or juice).
- Children and adolescents: 2 to 3 capsules daily
- Adults: 3 capsules daily or as prescribed by the physician
