Cobamac Tablet 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.
