Is it safe for my mother, who takes Istamet 50/500 twice daily for diabetes and still experiences numbness on the right side of her face from last year's facial nerve weakness (Bell's palsy), to take Neurobion, and if so, what is the recommended dose and advice for her?

Yes, it is generally safe for your mother to take Neurobion (vitamin B-complex) alongside her diabetes medication, Istamet (sitagliptin/metformin). In fact, long-term metformin use can sometimes lower vitamin B12 levels, so a B-complex supplement can support her nerve health and assist in recovery from her past facial nerve weakness. The typical dosage is one tablet daily, but please consult her treating physician to confirm the appropriate dose and duration for her specific needs. Regularly monitoring her blood sugar levels and keeping her doctor informed of her symptoms will ensure she stays on the safest path to recovery.
