Methycobal D Tablet is used in the treatment of nutritional deficiencies. A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. This condition occurs when a person's nutrient intake is less than the body's recommended requirement. It can lead to various health problems like a weak immune system, skin problems, digestion problems, defective bone growth, and neurological diseases.

Methycobal D Tablet contains Alpha-lipoic acid, folic acid, mecobalamin, pyridoxine, and vitamin D3. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage and restores vitamin levels in the body. Pyridoxine is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Mecobalamin regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Folic acid helps in the production of red blood cells. Vitamin D3 helps in the absorption of calcium.

You are advised to take Methycobal D Tablet for as long as your doctor has recommended it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as nausea, headache and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Methycobal D Tablet is a combination of five drugs: Alpha-lipoic acid, folic acid, mecobalamin, pyridoxine and vitamin D3. Methycobal D Tablet is used to treat nutritional deficiency. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that helps provide a protective effect on the nerve tissues and the brain. Folic acid is a vitamin that helps in providing essential nutrients to nerves. It is also very useful in producing healthy red blood cells. Mecobalamin helps in the rejuvenation and protection of damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. It is also essential in red blood cell formation and helps in maintaining blood circulation and nerve function. Pyridoxine is useful in facilitating myelin and neurotransmitter synthesis. Pyridoxine also aids the production of healthy blood cells. Vitamin D3, an active form of Vitamin D, is essential for the absorption of calcium. Together, Methycobal D Tablet helps in treating nutritional deficiencies.
