Vitamin B is prescribed in various forms, for certain conditions, among them poor fingernails in children after recovery from a severe illness, hair loss in children after ringworm infection of the scalp, pain in the bones and tissues in post-menopausal women after a fall - to aid nerve development, and anemia in menstruating ladies.
