Lycored Softgels Capsule belongs to the class of 'dietary supplements', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Lycored Softgels Capsule contains Selenium, Zinc and Lycopene. Selenium is a mineral that is effectively used to prevent various heart and blood vessels diseases like stroke, complications from statin drugs, and abnormal cholesterol levels. Zinc is also a mineral that promotes the growth and development of body tissues. Lycopene is an antioxidant that protects cells from damage by fighting against free radicals (unstable atoms that damage cells).

Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Lycored Softgels Capsule is likely safe to consume. Sometimes, it may have common side effects like nausea, vomiting, nail changes, loss of energy, metallic taste, upset stomach, diarrhoea, hair loss, and indigestion. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Lycored Softgels Capsule or its inactive components, please inform your doctor. Please tell your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food) and kidney dysfunction since Selenium and Zinc are primarily excreted in the urine. If you are allergic to lycopene or its food sources like tomatoes, inform your doctor since tomato-based products are acidic and may irritate stomach ulcers. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Lycored Softgels Capsule .
