About Cholecalciferol+methylcobalamin+folic Acid+pyridoxine Hydrochloride+elemental Zinc
Cholecalciferol+elemental Zinc+folic Acid+methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hydrochloride belongs to the class of 'nutritional supplements', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food. It could lead to various health problems, including defective bone growth, skin disorders, digestive issues, and dementia (memory loss).
Cholecalciferol+elemental Zinc+folic Acid+methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hydrochloride is a combination of Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), Folic acid, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (vitamin B6), Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12), and Elemental Zinc. Cholecalciferol is a form of Vitamin D and helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone. Folic acid is a form of Vitamin B that helps form red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Pyridoxine hydrochloride is a water-soluble vitamin involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Mecobalamin/Methylcobalamin regulates body functions like cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Elemental Zinc is a mineral that promotes the growth and development of body tissues.
Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Sometimes, Cholecalciferol+elemental Zinc+folic Acid+methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hydrochloride may have common side effects like numbness/tingling of hands or feet, upset stomach, diarrhoea, and nausea.

Uses of Cholecalciferol+methylcobalamin+folic Acid+pyridoxine Hydrochloride+elemental Zinc
Medicinal Benefits
Cholecalciferol+elemental Zinc+folic Acid+methylcobalamin+pyridoxine Hydrochloride treats nutritional deficiencies and contains Cholecalciferol, Folic acid, Pyridoxine hydrochloride, Methylcobalamin, and Elemental Zinc. Cholecalciferol helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone. It treats and prevents bone disorders, such as rickets and osteomalacia. Folic acid helps form red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. It treats folate deficiency and hyperhomocysteinemia (high blood levels of amino acids, homocysteine). Pyridoxine hydrochloride treats and prevents vitamin B6 deficiency, anemia (lack of red blood cells), peripheral neuropathy (nerve disorder), and seizures (fits). It is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Methylcobalamin regulates body functions and is used to treat pernicious anemia (red blood cells are not produced due to Vitamin B12 deficiency), neuropathy (nerve damage), and multiple sclerosis (immune system disease affecting the brain). Elemental Zinc is a mineral that promotes the growth and development of body tissues. It boosts the immune system, reduces inflammation, and maintains metabolic function.
