Folgel Capsule

Folgel Capsule belongs to the class of 'nutritional supplements, primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food. It could lead to various health problems, including defective bone growth, anemia, skin disorders, digestive issues, nerve disorders, and dementia (memory loss).

Folgel Capsule contains Folic acid and Docosahexaenoic acid. Folic acid, a form of Vitamin B, helps in the formation of red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega fatty acid that controls cholesterol levels and thus improves cardiovascular health. It acts as an energy source and helps in the better functioning of vital organs like the brain, heart, and lungs in the body.

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

Let your doctor know if you use any medications, including other vitamins, before starting Folgel Capsule. Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Folgel Capsule or other medicines. Inform your doctor beforehand if you have a history of liver, heart, or kidney diseases. It is essential to let your doctor know if you are a pregnant or breastfeeding mother before using Folgel Capsule. This supplement does not usually interfere with your driving ability. It is advised to limit alcohol intake to avail maximum benefits of Folgel Capsule. Folgel Capsule is possibly safe when advised by a doctor to your child. 

Folgel Capsule is used to treat nutritional deficiencies and contains Folic acid and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Folic acid prevents and treats folate deficiency and hyperhomocysteinemia (high blood levels of amino acid, homocysteine). It is used to treat anemia (lack of red blood cells). When taken by pregnant women, Folic acid prevents miscarriage and neural tube defects in infants. Docosahexaenoic acid acts as an energy source and reduces the risk of heart diseases by lowering triglycerides and raising good cholesterol levels.
