Folgel Capsule 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, anemia, skin disorders, digestive issues, nerve disorders, and dementia (memory loss).

Folgel Capsule contains Folic acid and Docosahexaenoic acid. Folic acid, a form of Vitamin B, helps in the formation of red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega fatty acid that controls cholesterol levels and thus improves cardiovascular health. It acts as an energy source and helps in the better functioning of vital organs like the brain, heart, and lungs in the body.

Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Sometimes, Folgel Capsule may have common side effects like stomach upset, diarrhoea, and nausea. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.
