About Folasic Soft Gel Capsule
Folasic Soft Gel Capsule is used in the treatment of neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease that causes nerve pain due to damage to sensory nerves. Symptoms include spontaneous, untriggered pain, unpleasant feelings, shooting, burning or stabbing pain, and difficulty resting or sleeping.
Folasic Soft Gel Capsule is a combination of alpha-lipoic acid, folic acid, methylcobalamin and pyridoxine. Methylcobalamin and pyridoxine help rejuvenate and protect damaged nerve cells. Alpha-lipoic acid provides a protective effect on the nerve tissues and the brain. Folic acid helps in providing essential nutrients to the nerves.
Sometimes, you may experience common side effects such as nausea, headache, vomiting and heartburn. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Avoid taking Folasic Soft Gel Capsule if you are allergic to any of the drugs or other components present in it. Consult your doctor before using Folasic Soft Gel Capsule if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Folasic Soft Gel Capsule is not recommended for children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Folasic Soft Gel Capsule as it could lead to unpleasant side effects.
