Mecofol Od 1500mcg Strip Of 10 Tablets
Description
Mecofol OD Tablet is a nutritional supplement primarily used for the treatment and prevention of Vitamin B12 deficiency. It is especially useful in conditions such as megaloblastic anaemia (a blood disorder caused by vitamin B12 deficiency) and nerve-related disorders like peripheral neuropathy. The tablet contains Mecobalamin (Vitamin B12) as the active ingredient, which plays a crucial role in the normal functioning of the brain and nerves, the formation of healthy red blood cells, and the synthesis of DNA.
This medicine is available as a sublingual tablet, which means it should be placed under the tongue or between the gums and cheeks, where it dissolves and gets directly absorbed into the bloodstream. This method ensures faster absorption and better therapeutic effect compared to regular oral tablets. Mecofol OD supports the central nervous system, enhances memory and concentration, and may help alleviate nerve pain associated with B12 deficiency.
Vitamin B12 is also important for fat and protein metabolism, fertility, and the regulation of various hormones. A deficiency of Vitamin B12 can lead to anaemia, tiredness, numbness or tingling in hands and feet, mood disturbances, and nerve damage if left untreated.
