Medicinal Benefits

Cobafol Injection 2 ml belongs to the class of 'multivitamins' primarily used to treat and prevent nutritional deficiencies. Cobafol Injection 2 ml contains Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12), nicotinamide, and pyridoxine (vitamin B6).

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). Nicotinamide is a form of vitamin B that provides vital nutrients. Vitamin B6 treats low levels of Vitamin B6, anaemia (low haemoglobin), and nerve damage (neuritis).

Cobafol Injection 2 ml 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. On the other hand, these essential vitamins help rejuvenate and protect damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin.
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 bananas. If your Vitamin B6 levels are still low, your doctor may prescribe supplements.
Vitamin B12 deficiency is caused when you don't have enough Methylcobalamine or Mecobalamin 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 about 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 Vitamin B6 through oral administration. Your doctor may prescribe 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.
