About Benthai Forte Capsule

Benthai Forte Capsule belongs to the class of 'Vitamins', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It effectively treats various conditions caused by a lack of vitamins, such as vitamin B1, B6, and B12 deficiencies, diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to diabetes), and peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage in the hands and feet). Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Benthai Forte Capsule contains Alpha lipoic acid, Benfotiamine, Inositol, Pyridoxine, and Methylcobalamin. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage and restores vitamin levels in the body. Benfotiamine, a synthetic form of Vitamin B1 or Thiamine, helps deliver essential nutrients to the nerves. Inositol works by dilating the blood vessels and improving blood circulation. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is a water-soluble vitamin that is 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, Benthai Forte Capsule may have common side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach upset, dizziness, and rash. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. 

Let your doctor know if you use any other medications you are taking, including other vitamins, before starting Benthai Forte Capsule . Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Benthai Forte Capsule or its components. It is essential to let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or a breastfeeding mother. Benthai Forte Capsule may cause dizziness; hence, drive with caution. Avoiding alcohol is recommended to rule out any possibility of side effects like dizziness. Benthai Forte Capsule is not recommended in children below 12 years of age.

FAQs

Benthai Forte Capsule is used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It effectively treats various conditions caused by a lack of vitamins, such as vitamin B1, B6, and B12 deficiencies, diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to diabetes), and peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage in the hands and feet).
Benthai Forte Capsule is a vitamin supplement and consists of Alpha-lipoic acid, Benfotiamine, Inositol, Pyridoxine, and Methylcobalamin. When you lack these vitamins in your body, which cannot be recovered even with the food sources, Benthai Forte Capsule helps normalize these deficient levels. Collectively, Benthai Forte Capsule treats 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 advise its supplements.
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, yogurt, and cheese in your diet for treating the deficiency. If you still have low levels of B12, please consult your doctor for its supplements.
Vitamin B1 deficiency is caused when your body does not have adequate levels of Vitamin B1 or Thiamine. This deficiency is commonly found in alcoholics, people with poor diet, and malabsorption conditions. It is also common in children with congenital heart diseases. People who undergo dialysis treatment may also develop vitamin B1 deficiency.
Pyridoxine in Benthai Forte Capsule may interfere with laboratory tests like urine tests for urobilinogen. Please make sure your doctor and the laboratory staff know that you take Benthai Forte Capsule 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.
