Mecol-12 Capsule is primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Mecol-12 Capsule 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.

Mecol-12 Capsule 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, Mecol-12 Capsule 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 Mecol-12 Capsule . Please inform your doctor if you are known to be allergic to Mecol-12 Capsule 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 Mecol-12 Capsule . 

Mecol-12 Capsule is used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It 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. It also protects the nerve cells from damaging degradation products and free radicals. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, a water-soluble Vitamin B. 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 treats and prevents vitamin B6 deficiency, anemia, peripheral neuropathy, and seizures (fits). It is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Thiamine is vitamin B1 found in yeast, cereal grains, beans, nuts, and meat. It helps generate energy for the body from nutrients and aids in the growth and development of body cells. Methylcobalamin (Mecobalamin) is a coenzyme form of vitamin B12. It regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis.
