Folsafe-L Tablet is a nutritional supplement that is used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It effectively treats various conditions caused due to lack of vitamins, such as low folate levels, anaemia (lack of red blood cells), neuropathy (nerve damage), seizures (fits), and hyperhomocysteinemia (high levels of homocysteine in the blood). It is composed of Calcium-L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12), and Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (Vitamin B6).

• Pyridoxine is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. It also helps in cognitive development through the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters and maintains normal homocysteine levels (an amino acid in the blood).
• Methylcobalamin treats hyperhomocysteinemia (high levels of homocysteine in the blood) and regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. It helps in the rejuvenation and protection of damaged nerve cells by producing a substance called myelin. 
• Calcium L-5 methyltetrahydrofolate is a form of folic acid that is used to treat folate deficiency and anaemia. It is also useful in preventing nervous system disorders.

Take medicine in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Please do not take more than the daily recommended dosage. Swallow the tablet as a whole with a glass of water, preferably with meals or as directed by the physician. Do not try to break/crush/chew the tablet.
