About Eract-X Sachet

Eract-X Sachet is used to treat nutritional deficiency. It is also used to treat nerve pain, heart disease, and erectile dysfunction. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Eract-X Sachet is a combination of L-Arginine, Fenugreek extract, Zinc, Magnesium, and Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine). L-arginine boosts the immune system and gets converted into nitric oxide (when taken as a supplement), which widens the blood vessels and improves blood flow. Fenugreek extract effectively lowers blood sugar levels in diabetes, relieves menstrual cramps, and improves testosterone levels. Zinc is an essential trace element and mineral that promotes the growth and development of body tissues. Magnesium is a mineral supplement that aids in the normal functioning of cells, nerves, muscles, bones, and the heart. Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters.

Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Eract-X Sachet is likely safe to consume. In some cases, it may cause side effects like stomach pain, loss of appetite, bloating, diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting. These side effects are not common to everyone and usually do not require medical attention. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Eract-X Sachet. It is advised to limit alcohol intake to get the maximum benefits of Eract-X Sachet.
