About ELMECOB TABLET
ELMECOB TABLET belongs to the class of vitamins, specifically a form of vitamin B12. It is mainly used to treat vitamin B12 deficiency and peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage in the hands and feet). It is also used to prevent or treat megaloblastic anaemia, a type of anaemia where red blood cells are larger than normal due to lack of vitamin B12. Common symptoms of B12 deficiency include tiredness, shortness of breath, numbness, poor balance, and memory problems.
ELMECOB TABLET contains Methylcobalamin, an active form of vitamin B12. It helps the body produce healthy red blood cells, repair nerve cells, and support essential functions such as DNA production, protein synthesis, and cell growth.
Your doctor will decide the correct dose based on your condition. Some people may experience mild side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, headache, or loss of appetite. These usually go away on their own, but consult your doctor if they persist.
Before starting ELMECOB TABLET, inform your doctor about any other medicines or supplements you are taking. Do not take it if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor first. Avoid alcohol while taking ELMECOB TABLET, as it may affect how well your body absorbs vitamin B12. In children, this medicine should only be used with a doctor’s advice.
