FAQs
Mecobalamin+pyridoxine Hydrochloride+folic Acid+vitamin D3 is primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It is used to treat and prevent low blood calcium levels (hypocalcaemia), vitamin B6 deficiency, folate deficiency, and vitamin B12 deficiency.
Mecobalamin+pyridoxine Hydrochloride+folic Acid+vitamin D3 is a dietary supplement and consists of vitamin D3, Folic acid, Pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6) and Mecobalamin (vitamin B12). When you lack these vitamins in your body, which cannot be recovered even with the food sources, Mecobalamin+pyridoxine Hydrochloride+folic Acid+vitamin D3 helps in normalising these deficient levels. Collectively, Mecobalamin+pyridoxine Hydrochloride+folic Acid+vitamin D3 treats nutritional deficiencies.
Vitamin B6 deficiency occurs when your body lacks adequate Pyridoxine levels. You can overcome this deficiency by including foods rich in Pyridoxine, such as 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 recommend appropriate supplements.
Vitamin B12 deficiency occurs when you don’t have enough Mecobalamin levels in your body. You can include natural sources of Vitamin B12, such as eggs, beef, liver, chicken, trout, salmon, tuna, clams, fortified breakfast cereal, low-fat milk, yoghurt, and cheese, in your diet to treat the deficiency. If you still have low B12 levels, please consult your doctor about appropriate supplements.
Folate deficiency occurs when your body lacks adequate folic acid/folate levels. You can overcome this deficiency by including food sources rich in folic acid, like broccoli, brussels sprouts, leafy green vegetables, cabbage, kale, spring greens, spinach, peas, chickpeas, kidney beans, and breakfast cereals fortified with folic acid. If your folic acid levels are still low, your doctor may recommend appropriate supplements.
It is important to tell your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrients from food) since it may be hard to absorb vitamins through oral administration. Your doctor may advise other dosage forms in such a case.
Pyridoxine hydrochloride in Mecobalamin+pyridoxine Hydrochloride+folic Acid+vitamin D3 may interfere with laboratory tests like urine tests for urobilinogen. Please make sure your doctor and the laboratory staff know that you take Mecobalamin+pyridoxine Hydrochloride+folic Acid+vitamin D3 before undergoing any blood and urine examinations.
Antacids may interfere with the absorption of Mecobalamin+pyridoxine Hydrochloride+folic Acid+vitamin D3. Hence, it is advised to take Mecobalamin+pyridoxine Hydrochloride+folic Acid+vitamin D3 two hours before or four hours after taking antacids.
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.
