Hello,
As it's always understood, anything in excess is a poison. So having too much of vitamin B supplement may not be good as there might be changes of the side effects in the long run. Medicine is used for the symptomatic relief and for a short duration. No medicine should be taken in excess as it may lead to other side effects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
