L FAME TABLET is used to treat low red blood cell levels due to various complications or long-term diseases. It is used to prevent and treat the low levels of folic acid in the blood during certain health conditions (anaemia, pregnancy, inadequate diet, surgery recovery). Its deficiency occurs mainly due to insufficient diet, low absorption of food or increased folate use in the body (in pregnancy). Anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen required to various body tissues. 

L FAME TABLET contains L-methyl folate, also known as folic acid (a form of Vitamin B9), primarily used to treat anaemia (low red blood cell). L FAME TABLET works by boosting the production of red blood cells (RBC) in the body. As a result, an adequate number of RBCs is produced in the body so that body's each tissue gets a sufficient supply of oxygen.

Anaemia: It is a health condition that happens when the body has a lower amount of red blood cells or haemoglobin than normal haemoglobin (the iron-rich protein responsible for allowing red blood cells to carry more oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body). Dietary iron, folic acid, and zinc are essential for red blood cells to produce and mature in the body. Generally,  0.8 to 1 % of red blood cells are replaced daily. Any process that affects red blood cell production and destruction can cause anaemia. Some of the factors responsible for anaemia include accidents, childbirth, dietary insufficiency, and excessive uterine bleeding.

Vitamin B9 deficiency: When your body doesn't have adequate levels of a water-soluble vitamin called Folic acid or Vitamin B9, this disease develops. Vitamin B9 deficiency symptoms include fatigue, mouth sores, a weak immune system, tiredness, and low energy levels.
