About Gencobal Od Tablet

Gencobal Od Tablet belongs to the class of 'multivitamins' primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies due to various complications or long term disease. It is used to treat and prevent folate deficiency, anaemia (lack of red blood cells), vitamin B12 deficiency and neurological diseases such as peripheral neuropathy (nerve disorder) and seizures (fits).

Gencobal Od Tablet contains folic acid and methylcobalamin. Folic acid (vitamin B9) replenishes the deficient folic acid in the body. It helps in the production of healthy red blood cells and DNA. Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12) regulates body functions like cell growth, blood formation and protein synthesis. It also prevents nerve damage by forming a protective layer (myelin) around the nerves.

You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Gencobal Od Tablet are diarrhoea, loss of appetite, upset stomach, nausea (feeling sick) and bloating. These side-effects are mild and don’t require medical attention. However, inform your doctor if any of these side-effects persist or get worsen.

Do not take Gencobal Od Tablet if you are allergic to any of its contents. Before taking Gencobal Od Tablet , inform your doctor if you are taking any prescription, non-prescription medicines, herbal products or dietary supplements. Inform your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food), cancer, kidney dialysis, optic nerve damage, hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood) and stent in the heart. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
