FAQs

Polytide-LP Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called 'nutritional supplements,' primarily used to treat and prevent nutritional deficiencies.
Polytide-LP Tablet is a dietary supplement. It contains Vitamin C, Elemental Iron, Folic acid, and Vitamin B12. When you lack these vitamins in your body, Polytide-LP Tablet helps in normalising these deficient levels. Collectively, Polytide-LP Tablet treats nutritional deficiencies.

Your doctor may advise supplements if your vitamin B12 levels are still low.
It is important to tell your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food) since it may be hard to absorb vitamins through oral administration. Your doctor may advise other dosage forms in such a case.
