Nefita Tablet is a multi-vitamin supplement that helps in contributing to the nutritional requirements of patients with kidney disease and dialysis treatment. It is indicated in the wasting syndrome in chronic renal failure, uremia, and impaired metabolic functions of the kidney. It is also used to maintain daily levels of dietary intake when the patient has inadequate nutrition. It is composed of Ascorbic Acid, Niacinamide, Pyridoxine, Folic acid, Pantothenic Acid, Riboflavin, Thiamine, Methylcobalamin, and Biotin.

• Ascorbic acid strengthens the immune system and protects the body against various infections.
• Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) helps in cellular respiration and aids in normal cell growth and function.
• Thiamine (vitamin B1) helps generate energy from nutrients and aids in the growth and development of body cells.
• Pyridoxine is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. It also helps in cognitive development through the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters and maintains normal homocysteine levels (an amino acid in the blood).
• Methylcobalamin treats hyperhomocysteinemia (high levels of homocysteine in the blood) and regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. It helps in the rejuvenation and protection of damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. 
• Nicotinamide (also known as Niacinamide) is a form of vitamin B3 (niacin). It helps in replenishing the energy in the body cells and provides essential nutrients.
• Biotin or vitamin B7 helps the body convert food into energy and carry nutrients throughout the body, thus improving glucose metabolism.
• Pantothenic Acid or Vitamin B5 helps the body convert food (carbohydrates) into glucose, which the body further uses to produce energy.
• Folic acid helps form red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer.
