ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+THIAMINE belongs to the Vitamins class, primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+THIAMINE effectively treats various conditions caused due to lack of vitamins, such as folate, vitamin B1, B6, and B12 deficiencies. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body cannot absorb or get enough nutrients from food.
ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+THIAMINE contains Alpha lipoic acid, Folic acid, Pyridoxine, Thiamine, and Mecobalamin. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage and restores vitamin levels in the body. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate; it helps in the formation of red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is a water-soluble vitamin that regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Thiamine (vitamin B1) helps generate energy from nutrients and aids in the growth and development of body cells. Mecobalamin, a form of vitamin B12, regulates body functions such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Together, ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+THIAMINE effectively treats nutritional deficiencies.
ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+THIAMINE should be used as recommended. Sometimes, ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+THIAMINE may have common side effects like nausea, stomach upset, and rash. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Do not take ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+THIAMINE if you're allergic to any ingredient in it. Consult your doctor before using the ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+THIAMINE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not use ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+THIAMINE in more than recommended doses or longer duration as it may cause adverse effects. Avoiding alcohol is recommended to rule out any possibility of side effects.
Nutritional deficiencies
ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+THIAMINE is used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It contains Alpha lipoic acid, Folic acid, Pyridoxine, Thiamine, and Mecobalamin. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage and restores vitamin levels in the body. It also protects the nerve cells from damaging degradation products and free radicals. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, a water-soluble Vitamin B. It helps in the formation of red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is a water-soluble vitamin that treats and prevents vitamin B6 deficiency, anaemia, peripheral neuropathy, and seizures (fits). It is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism, the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Thiamine helps generate energy for the body from nutrients and aids in the growth and development of body cells. Mecobalamin is a coenzyme form of vitamin B12. It regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis.
Inform your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food). This disease may make it hard to absorb B complex vitamins when given orally. Your doctor may recommend other dosage forms in such a case. Let your doctor know if you have any blood disorders like pernicious anaemia before starting ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+THIAMINE. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+THIAMINE.

Folate deficiency: Folate deficiency occurs when your body won't have enough folate in your diet. Symptoms include fatigue, grey hair, mouth sores, tongue swelling, and growth problems. Folate deficiency leads to anaemia.
