FAQs

Vitcofol Injection 10 ml is a dietary supplement and consists of Folic acid, Cyanocobalamin, and Nicotinamide. When you lack these vitamins in your body, which cannot be recovered even with the food sources, Vitcofol Injection 10 ml helps replenish these deficient levels and treat the associated disease conditions. Collectively, Vitcofol Injection 10 ml treats nutritional deficiencies.
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 prescribe supplements.
