Alcom Forte Tablet is a nutritional supplement that nourishes the body with essential vitamins and minerals. It contains Pyridoxine hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Folic acid, Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12), Alpha-lipoic acid, and Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol). It is used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It also treats nerve pain and damage in peripheral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to high blood sugar levels), and alcoholic neuropathy. It relieves symptoms like numbness, tingling, burning, and needle-like sensations in the hands and feet.

• Pyridoxine hydrochloride is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. It also helps in cognitive development through the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters and maintains normal homocysteine levels (an amino acid in the blood).
• Methylcobalamin treats hyperhomocysteinemia (high levels of homocysteine in the blood) and regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. It helps in the rejuvenation and protection of damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. 
• Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage and also decreases pain and numbness in neuropathy.
• Folic acid helps in repairing nerve injury and also improves diabetic neuropathy symptoms. 
• Vitamin D3 is used to treat and prevent bone disorders. It also reduces inflammation and promotes neuromuscular and immune functions.

Swallow the tablet as a whole with a glass of water. Do not try to break/crush/chew it. Take it in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Please do not take more than the daily recommended dosage.
