Levocarnitine+mecobalamin+folic Acid contains folic acid, levocarnitine, and mecobalamin. Folic acid (vitamin B9) replenishes the deficient folic acid in the body. It helps in the production of healthy red blood cells and DNA. Levocarnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that helps your body turn fat into energy. It works by improving the low levels of carnitine in the body. Mecobalamin (vitamin B12) regulates body functions like cell growth, blood formation, and protein synthesis. It also prevents nerve damage by forming a protective layer (myelin) around the nerves.
Warfarin when taken along with Levocarnitine+mecobalamin+folic Acid may increase the time required for the formation of blood clots. Hence, before starting Levocarnitine+mecobalamin+folic Acid, inform your doctor if you are taking warfarin.
Folic acid deficiency occurs when there is inadequate folic acid in the body. You can overcome this deficiency by taking whole-grain foods, poultry, and vegetables such as spinach, brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, peas, lentils, and oranges, which are good sources of folic acid.
Levocarnitine+mecobalamin+folic Acid may cause a headache as a mild and temporary side effect. However, if the condition persists or worsens, please consult a doctor.
