About Homin Tablet

Homin Tablet belongs to the class of 'vitamins', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It is used to treat and prevent vitamin B6 deficiency, folate deficiency, and vitamin B12 deficiency. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food. It could lead to various health problems, including defective bone growth, skin disorders, digestive issues, and dementia (memory loss).

Homin Tablet contains Folic acid, Pyridoxine hydrochloride, and Methylcobalamin. Folic acid helps in the formation of red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Pyridoxine hydrochloride/vitamin B6 is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Methylcobalamin (Mecobalamin) regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis.

Your doctor will decide the dosage and duration based on your medical condition. Sometimes, Homin Tablet may cause common side effects like nausea, stomach upset, diarrhoea, drowsiness, flushing, and numbness/tingling. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.

If you are known to be allergic to any of the components in Homin Tablet , please inform your doctor. Please tell your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food).

FAQs

Homin Tablet belongs to the class of 'vitamins', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It is used to treat and prevent vitamin B6 deficiency, folate deficiency, and vitamin B12 deficiency.

Homin Tablet is a vitamin supplement and consists of Folic acid, Pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6) and Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12). When you lack these vitamins in your body, which cannot be recovered even with the food sources, Homin Tablet helps in normalising these deficient levels. Collectively, Homin Tablet treats nutritional deficiencies.

Vitamin B6 deficiency occurs when your body lacks adequate Pyridoxine levels. You can overcome this deficiency by including food sources rich in Pyridoxine like milk, eggs, beef, pork, chicken or turkey, fish, peanuts, soya beans, wheat germ, oats and bananas. If your Vitamin B6 levels are still low, your doctor may prescribe its supplements.

Vitamin B12 deficiency is caused when you don't have enough Methylcobalamin or Mecobalamin 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 for its supplements.

Pyridoxine hydrochloride in Homin Tablet may interfere with laboratory tests like urine test for urobilinogen. Please make sure your doctor knows that you take Homin Tablet if you are undergoing any blood and urine examinations.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and follow your usual dosage.

The natural sources of folic acid are broccoli, brussels sprouts, leafy green vegetables, such as cabbage, kale, spring greens, spinach, peas, chickpeas and kidney beans, liver (avoid liver if you are pregnant), breakfast cereals fortified with folic acid.

Folic acid is especially important during early pregnancy, to prevent neural tube defects (NTDs), because folic acid aids in the development of the neural tube, which gives rise to the brain and spine of the developing fetus.

The signs of anaemia due to folic acid deficiency are fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, dizziness, depression, headaches, heart palpitations and mouth ulcers. If you experience any of these symptoms, please consult your doctor.

The common side effects of Homin Tablet are stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea, drowsiness, flushing and numbness or tingling. If these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
