About ME D3 Tablet

ME D3 Tablet is used in the treatment of nutritional deficiencies. A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. This condition occurs when a person's nutrient intake is less than the body's recommended requirement. It can lead to various health problems like a weak immune system, skin problems, digestion problems, defective bone growth, and neurological diseases.

ME D3 Tablet contains Alpha-lipoic acid, folic acid, mecobalamin, pyridoxine, and vitamin D3. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage and restores vitamin levels in the body. Pyridoxine is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Mecobalamin regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Folic acid helps in the production of red blood cells. Vitamin D3 helps in the absorption of calcium.

You are advised to take ME D3 Tablet for as long as your doctor has recommended it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as nausea, headache and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Consult your doctor before taking ME D3 Tablet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. ME D3 Tablet should be used with caution in children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with ME D3 Tablet as it could lead to unpleasant side effects. If you are due to undergo surgery, inform your doctor that you take ME D3 Tablet as it may lower blood sugar levels. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.
