About ADENOSYLCOBALAMIN+FOLIC ACID+IRON
ADENOSYLCOBALAMIN+FOLIC ACID+IRON belongs to the group of medicines called nutritional supplements used to treat and prevent conditions like iron deficiency anaemia, iron deficiency due to low iron intake, or that occurs during pregnancy and lactation. A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. Vitamins and minerals are necessary for body development and the prevention of diseases.
ADENOSYLCOBALAMIN+FOLIC ACID+IRON contains Adenosylcobalamin, Folic acid, and Iron. Adenosylcobalamin, by replenishing the body's vitamin deficiencies, promotes healthy bodily development and function. Folic acid is required for a number of biological processes, including the remethylation of homocysteine and the biosynthesis of nucleotides. As a source of iron, iron aids in the production of red blood cells and the movement of oxygen throughout the body. When used together, ADENOSYLCOBALAMIN+FOLIC ACID+IRON aids in the treatment of dietary deficiencies.
You are advised to take ADENOSYLCOBALAMIN+FOLIC ACID+IRON for as long as your doctor has recommended it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, constipation, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
If you have a known allergy to any of the components in ADENOSYLCOBALAMIN+FOLIC ACID+IRON, please inform your doctor. Although it is safe, consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. ADENOSYLCOBALAMIN+FOLIC ACID+IRON should be given to children only if recommended by a doctor. Excessive alcohol consumption reduces absorption and increases the elimination of folic acid. Hence, please avoid alcohol while using ADENOSYLCOBALAMIN+FOLIC ACID+IRON.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Nutritional deficiencies: A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. Vitamins and minerals are necessary for body development and the prevention of diseases. Sometimes, your body is unable to absorb many nutrients even if you are consuming them. Nutrient deficiency can lead to many health problems, like a weakened immune system, skin problems, digestion problems, defective bone growth, and neurological diseases.
Anaemia: It is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to various body tissues. Anaemia can be temporary, which can be treated with the help of supplements, and it can also be long-term, which might require medical procedures. It makes you tired very quickly due to a lack of oxygen supply in the body. It is one of the most common blood disorders.
