Brief Summary
We aim to investigate the value of vitamin B (B1, B6, B9, B12) on post-cesarean section analgesia in addition to the standard opioid-sparing multimodal regimen to achieve more robust analgesia with minimal side effects.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
The total consumption of rescue analgesics in the first and second 24 hours after delivery
the difference in mean of the total amount consumed of paracetamol, ketorolac and nalbuphine
in the first 24 hours and in the second 24 hours (if stay is extended )
Pain score assessed by numerical pain scale after 24 hours from delivery.
By using a s scale from 0-10 where zero is no pain and 10 is the worst pain, the scale willbe used 24 hours postoperative . results will be compared between both groups
24 hours postoperative
Secondary Outcomes (2)
quality of recovery on discharge from ICU
on discharge from ICU ( or within 48 hours post operative ) which is shorter
occurrence of any side effects
during ICU stay and no more than 48 hours post-caesarean section
Study Arms (2)
vitamin B
EXPERIMENTALoral vitamin B complex tablets preoperative and continue post-operative for 2 days One tablet oral once daily for 1- 2 days according to the length of stay; the tablet is a vitamin (B1, B6, B9, and B12). Oral daily vitamin B concentration; Tablet is composed of ; B1= 250mg, B6= 150 mg, B12= 0,250 mg, B9= 0.5mgm, B2 15 mg standard analgesic ladder will be implemented in the form of; Paracetamol 1gram (2 tablets) / 8hr for 48 hours, Ketorolac 30 mg / 12 hour for 48 hours. Any pain will be treated appropriately with nalbuphine till the patient is comforted, and the total dose will be documented. the routine ladder of paracetamol and ketorolac will be modified according to organ functions and the presence of any contraindication for usage
standard
ACTIVE COMPARATORpatients will receive a preoperative; Oral placebo tablet (once/day) Post-operative and continue post-operative for 2 days; One placebo capsule oral once daily for 2 days. standard analgesic ladder will be implemented in the form of; Paracetamol 1 gram (2 tablets) / 8hr for 48 hours. Ketorolac / 12 hours for 48 hours. Any pain will be treated appropriately with nalbuphine till the patient is comforted, and the total dose will be documented. the routine ladder of paracetamol and ketorolac will be modified according to organ functions and the presence of any contraindication for usage
Interventions
B1, B6 , B9 , B12 in addition to the routine paracetamol and NSAID
