Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hcl+folic Acid
About Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hcl+folic Acid
Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hcl+folic Acid belongs to the class of 'Vitamins', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It is used to treat and prevent vitamin B6 deficiency, folate deficiency and vitamin B12 deficiency. Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hcl+folic Acid 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).
Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hcl+folic Acid contains Folic acid, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, and Methylcobalamin. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate. Folate is a water-soluble vitamin naturally found in food sources. It helps in the formation of red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (also known as vitamin B6) is a water-soluble vitamin involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Mecobalamin (Methylcobalamine) is a coenzyme form of vitamin B12 that 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 Hcl+folic Acid may have common side effects like upset 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 ant other medicines before starting Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hcl+folic Acid. If you are known to be allergic to Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hcl+folic Acid 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 Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hcl+folic Acid. If you are a pregnant or breastfeeding mother, please consult your doctor before taking Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hcl+folic Acid.
Uses of Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hcl+folic Acid
Medicinal Benefits
Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hcl+folic Acid is used to treat nutritional deficiencies and contains Folic acid, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, and Methylcobalamin. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, a water-soluble Vitamin B that prevents and treats folate deficiency and hyperhomocysteinemia. When used with other medications, Folic acid is used to treat pernicious, aplastic, or normocytic anemia (lack of red blood cells). When taken by pregnant women, Folic acid prevents miscarriage and neural tube defects in infants. Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (vitamin B6) is a water-soluble vitamin that treats and prevents vitamin B6 deficiency, anemia, peripheral neuropathy, seizures (fits), and hereditary disorders like hyperoxaluria and homocystinuria. It is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. It helps in cognitive development through neurotransmitter biosynthesis and maintains normal homocysteine levels (an amino acid in the blood). Methylcobalamin (Mecobalamin) is a coenzyme form of vitamin B12 and treats Vitamin B12 deficiency, cyanide poisoning, and hyperhomocysteinemia. It regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Vitamin B6 deficiency: When your body doesn't have adequate levels of a water-soluble vitamin called Pyridoxine or Vitamin B6, this disease is developed. Vitamin B6 deficiency symptoms include fatigue, skin rashes, cracked and sore lips, weak immune system, tiredness and low energy levels, fits, tingling in hands and feet.
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 fast heartbeat.
FAQs
Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hcl+folic Acid is a vitamin supplement and consists of Folic acid, Pyridoxine HCl (vitamin B6) and Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12). When you lack these vitamins in your body, which cannot be recovered even with the food sources, Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hcl+folic Acid helps in normalising these deficient levels. Collectively, Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hcl+folic Acid 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, liver (avoid this during pregnancy) and breakfast cereals fortified with folic acid. If your folic acid levels are still low, your doctor may suggest its supplements.
Pyridoxine in Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hcl+folic Acid may interfere with laboratory tests like urine test for urobilinogen. Please make sure your doctor and the laboratory staff know that you take Methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hcl+folic Acid before undergoing any blood and urine examinations.
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.
