About Gecobal-Plus Capsule 10's

Gecobal-Plus Capsule 10's is primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Gecobal-Plus Capsule 10's effectively treats various conditions caused by a lack of vitamins, such as folate, vitamin B1, B6, and B12 deficiencies. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Gecobal-Plus Capsule 10's contains Alpha lipoic acid, Folic acid, Pyridoxine, Thiamine, and Methylcobalamin. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage and restores vitamin levels in the body. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, a water-soluble Vitamin B naturally found in food sources. It helps in the formation of red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is a water-soluble vitamin that regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Thiamine (vitamin B1) helps generate energy for the body from nutrients and aids in the growth and development of body cells. 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, Gecobal-Plus Capsule 10's may have common side effects like nausea, stomach upset, and rash. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. 

Let your doctor know if you are using any other medicines and herbal products before starting Gecobal-Plus Capsule 10's. Please inform your doctor if you are known to be allergic to Gecobal-Plus Capsule 10's or its inactive components. Vitamins are absorbed readily through oral administration. Please tell your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food). If you are a pregnant or breastfeeding mother, please consult your doctor before taking Gecobal-Plus Capsule 10's.
