Benfodev Capsule belongs to the class of 'Vitamins', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It effectively treats various conditions caused by a lack of vitamins, such as vitamin B1, B6, and B12 deficiencies, diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to diabetes), and peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage in the hands and feet). Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Benfodev Capsule contains Alpha lipoic acid, Benfotiamine, Inositol, Pyridoxine, and Methylcobalamin. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage and restores vitamin levels in the body. Benfotiamine, a synthetic form of Vitamin B1 or Thiamine, helps deliver essential nutrients to the nerves. Inositol works by dilating the blood vessels and improving blood circulation. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is a water-soluble vitamin that is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Methylcobalamin (Mecobalamin), a form of vitamin B12, regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. 

Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Sometimes, Benfodev Capsule may have common side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach upset, dizziness, and rash. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.

Benfodev Capsule is used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It contains Alpha lipoic acid, Benfotiamine, Inositol, Pyridoxine, and Methylcobalamin. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage and restores vitamin levels in the body. It also protects the nerve cells from damaging degradation products and free radicals. Benfotiamine, a synthetic form of Vitamin B1 or Thiamine, helps deliver essential nutrients to the nerves. It improves mental health symptoms in people addicted to alcoholism and pain caused by diabetic neuropathy. Inositol works by dilating the blood vessels and improving blood circulation to the legs, toes, and fingers, thereby relieving pain. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) treats and prevents vitamin B6 deficiency, anaemia, peripheral neuropathy, and seizures (fits). It is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Methylcobalamin is a coenzyme form of vitamin B12. It regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis.
