About Carnimac Tablet

Carnimac Tablet belongs to the class of 'nutraceutical products', primarily used to treat carnitine deficiency. Carnitine deficiency is a metabolic muscle disease caused by low levels of carnitine. Carnitine is an amino acid that helps in the production of energy from fatty acids. Symptoms of carnitine deficiency include weakness in the muscles of hips, shoulders, upper arms and legs, low blood sugar, fatigue, vomiting, abdominal pain, growth retardation and low weight.

Carnimac Tablet contains L-Carnitine or Levo-carnitine, a naturally occurring derivative of the amino acids, lysine and methionine. When taken as a supplement, the body converts L-Carnitine into acetyl-L-carnitine and propionyl-L-carnitine. These products further help the body to produce energy from fat.

Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Sometimes, Carnimac Tablet may have common side effects like stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist for a longer time, please seek medical advice.

Let your doctor know if you are using suggested, non-suggested drugs and herbal products before starting Carnimac Tablet . If you are known to be allergic to Carnimac Tablet or its inactive components, please inform your doctor. Please tell your doctor if you have an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), liver or kidney diseases, diabetes, fits, and dialysis treatment.
