About
CHOLECALCIFEROL+CYANOCOBALAMIN+FOLIC ACID+IRON+PYRIDOXINE is used to prevent and treat anemia (lack of blood) that occurs due to iron deficiency. Also, it is used to treat iron deficiency anaemia during pregnancy and lactation. Anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to various body tissues.
CHOLECALCIFEROL+CYANOCOBALAMIN+FOLIC ACID+IRON+PYRIDOXINE contains Iron, Folic acid, Cyanocobalamin, Cholecalciferol and Pyridoxine. Iron and folic acid work by increasing red blood cells (RBC) and haemoglobin (a protein) production in the body. Cholecalciferol helps iron metabolism and the production of red blood cells. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and Cyanocobalamin are essential for the production and maturation of red blood cells.
