Kuiper-B12 Tablet 10's

Kuiper-B12 Tablet belongs to the class of 'Vitamins', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It is used to treat and prevent vitamin B6 deficiency, folate deficiency and vitamin B12 deficiency. Kuiper-B12 Tablet effectively treats various conditions caused due to lack of vitamins, such as anaemia (lack of red blood cells), peripheral neuropathy (nerve disorder), seizures (fits), hyperoxaluria (excess oxalate levels in urine), homocystinuria (accumulation of an amino acid called homocysteine in urine and blood), cyanide poisoning and hyperhomocysteinemia (high levels of homocysteine in the blood).

Kuiper-B12 Tablet contains Folic acid, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, and Methylcobalamin. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate. Folate is a water-soluble vitamin naturally found in food sources. It helps in the formation of red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (also known as vitamin B6) is a water-soluble vitamin involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Mecobalamin (Methylcobalamin) is a coenzyme form of vitamin B12 that regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis.

Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Sometimes, Kuiper-B12 Tablet may have common side effects like upset nausea, stomach upset, diarrhoea, drowsiness, flushing, and numbness/tingling. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.

Kuiper-B12 Tablet is used to treat nutritional deficiencies and contains Folic acid, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, and Methylcobalamin. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, a water-soluble Vitamin B that prevents and treats folate deficiency and hyperhomocysteinemia. When used with other medications, Folic acid is used to treat pernicious, aplastic, or normocytic anemia (lack of red blood cells). When taken by pregnant women, Folic acid prevents miscarriage and neural tube defects in infants. Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (vitamin B6) is a water-soluble vitamin that treats and prevents vitamin B6 deficiency, anemia, peripheral neuropathy, seizures (fits), and hereditary disorders like hyperoxaluria and homocystinuria. It is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. It helps in cognitive development through neurotransmitter biosynthesis and maintains normal homocysteine levels (an amino acid in the blood). Methylcobalamin (Mecobalamin) is a coenzyme form of vitamin B12 and treats Vitamin B12 deficiency, cyanide poisoning, and hyperhomocysteinemia. It regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis.
