FAQs
Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine+nicotinamide belongs to the class of multivitamins primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies.
Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine+nicotinamide contains three essential vitamins, including Methylcobalamin, Pyridoxine, and Nicotinamide. Methylcobalamin, Pyridoxine and Nicotinamide together replenish the body's stores of important nutrients and thereby treat various nutritional deficiencies.
Vitamin B6 deficiency occurs when your body lacks adequate Pyridoxine levels. You can overcome this deficiency by including food sources rich in Pyridoxine, like 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 supplements.
Vitamin B12 deficiency occurs when you don't have enough Methylcobalamine or Mecobalmin levels in your body. You can include natural Vitamin B12 sources such as eggs, beef, liver, chicken, trout, salmon, tuna fish, clams, fortified breakfast cereal, low-fat milk, yoghurt, and cheese in your diet to treat the deficiency. If you still have low levels of B12, please consult your doctor for its 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 Vitamin B6 through oral administration. Your doctor may recommend other dosage forms in such a case. Inform your doctor if you have eye problems (Leber's optic atrophy) or take levodopa for Parkinson's disease.
Pyridoxine in Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine+nicotinamide may interfere with laboratory tests like urine tests for urobilinogen. Please make sure your doctor and the laboratory staff know that you take Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine+nicotinamide before undergoing any blood and urine examinations.
