About B-Folcin Syrup

B-Folcin Syrup belongs to the class of 'multivitamins' primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies due to various complications or long-term diseases. It is used to treat and prevent folic acid (vitamin B9) deficiency, anaemia (lack of red blood cells), peripheral neuropathy (nerve disorder), neural tube defects (birth defects) like spina bifida (a spinal cord defect), and anencephaly (a brain defect) and hyperhomocysteinemia (high levels of homocysteine in the blood).

B-Folcin Syrup contains Folic acid (vitamin B9) and Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12). Folic acid treats low levels of Vitamin B9, anaemia (low haemoglobin), neural tube defects, cleft palate (birth defects), and anaemia caused by faulty development of red blood cells, such as after stomach surgery or during pregnancy. Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form of vitamin B12 that is not found in nature, regulating body functions like cell growth, blood formation, and protein synthesis. It is used in the treatment of pernicious anaemia (red blood cells are not produced due to Vitamin B12 deficiency), diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to high blood sugar levels), alcoholic neuropathy, and multiple sclerosis (immune system disease affecting the brain).

FAQs

B-Folcin Syrup is used to treat nutritional deficiencies due to various complications or long-term diseases. It is used to treat and prevent folic acid (vitamin B9) deficiency, anaemia (lack of red blood cells), peripheral neuropathy (nerve disorder), neural tube defects (birth defects) like spina bifida (a spinal cord defect), and anencephaly (a brain defect) and hyperhomocysteinemia (high levels of homocysteine in the blood).

Vitamin B12 deficiency is caused when you don't have enough Cyanocobalamin or vitamin B12 levels in your body. You can include natural Vitamin B12 sources like eggs, beef, liver, chicken, trout, salmon, tuna, fish, clams, fortified breakfast cereal, low-fat milk, yoghurt, and cheese in your diet for treating the deficiency. If you still have low levels of B12, please consult your doctor about its supplements.

B-Folcin Syrup may interfere with laboratory tests like urine tests for urobilinogen. Please make sure your doctor and the laboratory staff know that you take B-Folcin Syrup before undergoing any blood and urine examinations.

Common signs and symptoms of low folic acid (vitamin B9) are mouth sores, fatigue, weakness, pale skin, lethargy, irritability, shortness of breath, and tongue swelling.

Do not discontinue B-Folcin Syrup without consulting your doctor, as it might lead to recurring symptoms. To treat your condition effectually, continue taking B-Folcin Syrup for as long as suggested. Do not be reluctant to speak with your doctor if you feel any difficulty while taking B-Folcin Syrup .
