About Folim-Plus Softgel Capsule 10's

Folim-Plus Softgel Capsule 10's belongs to the class of 'multivitamins', 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). 

Folim-Plus Softgel Capsule 10's is a combination of L Methylfolate Calcium, Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (Vitamin B6/Pyridoxine), Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12), Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol), and DHA/Docosahexaenoic acid. L Methylfolate calcium helps produce new blood cells and prevent low folate levels. Pyridoxal-5-phosphate is a water-soluble vitamin involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Methylcobalamin regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Vitamin D3 helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega fatty acid that controls cholesterol levels and thus improves cardiovascular health.

Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Sometimes, Folim-Plus Softgel Capsule 10's may have common side effects like upset stomach, diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.
