Polytide-LP Tablet 10's

Polytide-LP Tablet 10's belongs to the group of medicines called 'nutritional supplements,' primarily used to treat and prevent nutritional deficiencies. A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. Vitamins and minerals play an essential role in balancing the body's nutritional requirements and thus preventing diseases.

Polytide-LP Tablet 10's is a combination of Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid), Elemental Iron, Folic acid (Vitamin B9), and Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin). Vitamin C is necessary for bones, muscles, connective tissues and aids in the absorption of iron. Elemental Iron is an essential body mineral required for the formation of red blood cells to carry oxygen to other body cells and tissues. Folic acid helps in the formation of red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Vitamin B12 helps properly function the brain, nerves, and red blood cells.

Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. You may experience common side effects in some cases, such as stomach upset, constipation, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, if these symptoms persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Polytide-LP Tablet 10's contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid), Elemental Iron, Folic acid (Vitamin B9), and Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin). Vitamin C/Ascorbic acid is necessary for bones, muscles, connective tissues and aids in iron absorption. Elemental Iron is an essential body mineral. By combining with a protein in the blood called hemoglobin, iron helps carry adequate oxygen to various body parts. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, a water-soluble Vitamin B9 naturally found in food sources. It helps in the formation of red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Vitamin B12 helps in the proper functioning of the brain, nerves, and the production of red blood cells. It treats low blood levels of vitamin B12 in people with pernicious anemia and other conditions like pregnancy, thyroid problems, stomach, and intestinal disorders.
