FOLIC ACID+L CARNITINE+METHYLCOBALAMIN
About FOLIC ACID+L CARNITINE+METHYLCOBALAMIN
FOLIC ACID+L CARNITINE+METHYLCOBALAMIN is used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It is used to treat and prevent folate deficiency and vitamin B12 deficiency. FOLIC ACID+L CARNITINE+METHYLCOBALAMIN effectively treats various conditions caused due to lack of vitamins, such as anaemia (lack of red blood cells), peripheral neuropathy (nerve disorder), seizures (fits), hyperoxaluria (excess oxalate levels in urine), homocystinuria (accumulation of an amino acid called homocysteine in urine and blood), cyanide poisoning and hyperhomocysteinemia (high levels of homocysteine in the blood).
FOLIC ACID+L CARNITINE+METHYLCOBALAMIN contains Folic acid, L-carnitine, and Methylcobalamin. Folic acid helps form red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. It prevents and treats low blood levels of folate (folate deficiency) and high blood levels of amino acid, homocysteine (hyperhomocysteinemia). L-Carnitine is a type of amino acid that is naturally produced by the body. It is used by the body to produce energy and is important for the health of the heart, brain, muscles, and other body parts. Methylcobalamin regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis.
Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Sometimes, FOLIC ACID+L CARNITINE+METHYLCOBALAMIN may cause common side effects like nausea, stomach upset, diarrhoea, drowsiness, flushing, and numbness/tingling. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.
Let your doctor know if you are using other drugs, and herbal products before starting FOLIC ACID+L CARNITINE+METHYLCOBALAMIN. If you are known to be allergic to FOLIC ACID+L CARNITINE+METHYLCOBALAMIN or its inactive components, please inform your doctor. Vitamins are absorbed readily through oral administration. Please tell your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food). The dosage form may be changed to intravenous administration of individual vitamins for better absorption of FOLIC ACID+L CARNITINE+METHYLCOBALAMIN. If you are a pregnant or breastfeeding mother, please consult your doctor before taking FOLIC ACID+L CARNITINE+METHYLCOBALAMIN.

Medicinal Benefits
FOLIC ACID+L CARNITINE+METHYLCOBALAMIN is used to treat nutritional deficiencies and contains Folic acid, L-carnitine, and Methylcobalamin. Folic acid helps in the formation of red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. It prevents and treats folate deficiency and hyperhomocysteinemia. L-carnitine is used to treat medical conditions of heart and blood vessels, failure to get pregnant, overactive thyroid, and other serious medical issues. It also helps the body to produce more amount of energy as it is necessary for the functioning of the heart and brain, muscle movements, and other body processes. Methylcobalamin (Mecobalamin) regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. It is used in the treatment of alcoholic neuropathy, pernicious anaemia (red blood cells are not produced due to Vitamin B12 deficiency), diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to high blood sugar levels), and multiple sclerosis (immune system disease affecting the brain).

Disease/Condition Glossary
Vitamin B12 deficiency (cobalamin deficiency): When your body doesn't have adequate mineral levels called Vitamin B12, it leads to Vitamin B12 deficiency. Symptoms include fatigue, breathlessness, numbness, poor balance, and memory trouble.
Folate deficiency: Folate deficiency occurs when your body won't have enough folate in your diet. Symptoms include fatigue, grey hair, mouth sores, tongue swelling, and growth problems. Folate deficiency leads to anaemia.
Anaemia: It is a condition associated with a decrease in the red blood cells (RBCs) count or haemoglobin in the blood or a lowered ability to carry oxygen. Symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, light-headedness, dizziness, and a fast heartbeat.
FAQs
FOLIC ACID+L CARNITINE+METHYLCOBALAMIN is a vitamin supplement and consists of Folic acid, L-carnitine and Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12). When you lack these vitamins in your body, which cannot be recovered even with the food sources, FOLIC ACID+L CARNITINE+METHYLCOBALAMIN helps in normalising these deficient levels. Collectively, FOLIC ACID+L CARNITINE+METHYLCOBALAMIN treats nutritional deficiencies.
Vitamin B12 deficiency is caused when you don't have enough Methylcobalamine or Mecobalmin levels in your body. You can include natural Vitamin B12 sources like eggs, beef, liver, chicken, trout, salmon, tuna fish, clams, fortified breakfast cereal, low-fat milk, yoghurt, and cheese in your diet for treating the deficiency. If you still have low levels of B12, please consult your doctor for its 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, liver (avoid this during pregnancy) and breakfast cereals fortified with folic acid. If your folic acid levels are still low, your doctor may advise its supplements.
It is important to tell your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food) since it may be hard to absorb vitamins through oral administration. Your doctor may advise other dosage forms of FOLIC ACID+L CARNITINE+METHYLCOBALAMIN in such a case.
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.
