About Folinz Tablet 10's

Folinz Tablet 10's belongs to the class of 'dietary supplements', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Folinz Tablet 10's contains Zinc sulfate and Folic acid. Zinc sulfate is a mineral that promotes the growth and development of body tissues. It is essential for vision, fighting against rhinoviruses (that cause the common cold), immune function, bone metabolism, taste, wound healing, insulin production, blood clotting, and thyroid function. Folic acid, a form of Vitamin B, treats folic acid deficiency and anaemia (lack of red blood cells). It helps in the formation of red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer.

Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Folinz Tablet 10's is likely safe to consume. Sometimes, it may have common side effects like abdominal pain, indigestion, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and gastric irritation. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Folinz Tablet 10's or its inactive components, please inform your doctor. Please tell your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food), cancer, coronary stent, seizures (fits), tumour, kidney dysfunction and undergoing dialysis. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Folinz Tablet 10's. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Folinz Tablet 10's to ensure maximum absorption of nutrients. Folinz Tablet 10's should be used in children only when the doctor has advised.

Medicinal Benefits

Folinz Tablet 10's contains Zinc sulfate and Folic acid. Zinc sulfate is a mineral that promotes the growth and development of body tissues.

It treats zinc deficiency, acute diarrhoea in children, slow wound healing, and Wilson's disease (a genetic disorder causing copper build-up in the body). Folic acid, a form of Vitamin B,  is used to treat pernicious, aplastic, or normocytic anaemia (lack of red blood cells), low blood levels of folate (folate deficiency), and high blood levels of an amino acid, homocysteine (hyperhomocysteinemia). It helps in the formation of red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Folic acid also prevents miscarriage and neural tube defects in infants when used by pregnant women.
