About Akfol Tablet 10's
Akfol Tablet 10's is primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It is used to treat and prevent dietary deficiencies such as vitamin B6 deficiency, folate deficiency and vitamin B12 deficiency. A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body fails to absorb or obtain sufficient nutrients from food.
Akfol Tablet 10's contains Folic acid, Pyridoxine, and Methylcobalamin. Folic acid plays a crucial role in the formation of red blood cells and helps prevent DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Pyridoxine is involved in the metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, as well as the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Methylcobalamin regulates various bodily functions, including cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis.
Sometimes, Akfol Tablet 10's may have common side effects, such as nausea, stomach upset, diarrhoea, drowsiness, flushing, and numbness or tingling. These side effects typically do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects gradually.

Please tell your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrients from food). If you are known to be allergic to Akfol Tablet 10's or its inactive components or a pregnant or breastfeeding mother, please consult your doctor before taking Akfol Tablet 10's.
