About Obafol MD Tablet

Obafol MD Tablet 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.

Obafol MD Tablet 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, Obafol MD Tablet 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.
