About METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE

METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE belongs to the class of 'multivitamins' primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies due to various complications or long term diseases. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE contains Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12). Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is a water-soluble vitamin involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Methylcobalamin/Mecobalamin, a form of vitamin B12, regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. 

Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Sometimes, METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE may have common side effects like numbness of hands or feet, upset stomach, diarrhoea, loss of hunger, and dizziness. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.  

Let your doctor know if you use any other medications, including vitamins, before starting METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE. Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE or its components. It is essential to let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or are a breastfeeding mother. Avoid consuming alcohol along with METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE to ensure maximum absorption of nutrients. METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE should be used in children only with the doctor's advice.

Medicinal Benefits

METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE is used to treat nutritional deficiencies and contains Pyridoxine and Methylcobalamin. Pyridoxine treats and prevents vitamin B6 deficiency, anaemia, peripheral neuropathy, and seizures (fits). It is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Methylcobalamin regulates body functions and helps rejuvenate and protect damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. It is used to treat pernicious anaemia (red blood cells are not produced due to Vitamin B12 deficiency), neuropathy (nerve damage), and multiple sclerosis (immune system disease affecting the brain).

    FAQs

    How does METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE work?

    METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE is a vitamin supplement that consists of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and methylcobalamin (vitamin B12).
