About Folygel Capsule
Folygel Capsule belongs to the class of 'Vitamins,' primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It is used to treat and prevent vitamin B6 deficiency, folate deficiency and vitamin B12 deficiency. Folygel Capsule effectively treats various conditions caused due to lack of vitamins, such as anaemia (lack of red blood cells), peripheral neuropathy (nerve disorder), seizures (fits), hyperoxaluria (excess oxalate levels in urine), homocystinuria (accumulation of an amino acid called homocysteine in urine and blood), cyanide poisoning and hyperhomocysteinemia (high levels of homocysteine in the blood).
Folygel Capsule contains Folic Acid, Cyanocobalamin, and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). Folic acid is a type of vitamin B. It is necessary to form red blood cells, which transport oxygen throughout the body. It is also essential during pregnancy because it develops the unborn baby's brain and spinal cord. Cyanocobalamin is a type of vitamin B12 that provides vital nutrients. DHA is a nutritional supplement. DHA is important for brain development. DHA lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels, inhibits platelet aggregation and LDL oxidation, and inhibits the synthesis of inflammatory markers like prostaglandins. Overall, DHA is important in reducing the risk of heart and circulatory disease.
Take Folygel Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. You should take Folygel Capsule as long as your doctor has prescribed it after checking your medical condition. Folygel Capsule may cause side effects such as nausea (feeling sick), vomiting (being sick), diarrhoea, anorexia (loss of appetite), headache, weight loss, fatigue, bloating and flatulence. These side effects are usually mild and do not require any medical attention. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor immediately.
Do not take Folygel Capsule if you are allergic to any of its contents. Do not take Folygel Capsule , if you have hypercalcemia (high levels of calcium in the blood), osteoporosis (thin and brittle bones), metastatic calcification (extra deposits of calcium in the body), kidney problems, cancer, undergone surgery, optic nerve damage. You are not well due to high levels of vitamin D. Also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

FAQs
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid. It is a natural part of cells and is an important component of the skin, eyes and brain. It plays an important role in developing the brain during pregnancy and infancy. It is also used in treating high cholesterol levels in the body. It does so by reducing the thickness of the blood and lowering the body's levels of triglycerides.
Usually, every person should take foods that boost the production of folate in their body or the person can take it directly in the form of supplements. However, women, who can become pregnant should focus more on their intake. If a woman who can be pregnant has enough folic acid in her body before her pregnancy then it can help to avoid the risk of major birth defects of her baby's brain and spine.
The best way to avoid the risk of folic acid deficiency during pregnancy is to start taking it at least three months before getting pregnant. It will reduce the risk of developing folate deficiency during pregnancy.
DHA is good for health and a person should consume it from either food and supplements or in both as the body cannot produce the required DHA (2 grams) by the body. It also helps to prevent or treat health diseases and high cholesterol levels in the body.
Consumption of DHA is important for the body as it requires about 2 grams per day; however, taking more than 3 grams per day may cause undesirable side effects in the body.
Folygel Capsule can be safely used in patients with diabetes unless you have other problems such as kidney diseases or bone-related problems. So, it is recommended to inform your doctor before taking Folygel Capsule to avoid any risks.
Folygel Capsule is possibly safe when used in patients with thyroid problems. However, make sure to inform your doctor before taking this medicine as Folygel Capsule may interact with levothyroxine used to treat hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid).
