Sicovit-M Tablet 10's

Sicovit-M Tablet 10's belongs to the multivitamins class, primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It is used to treat and prevent vitamin B6 deficiency, folate deficiency, and vitamin B12 deficiency. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body cannot absorb or get enough nutrients from food. It could lead to various health problems, including defective bone growth, skin disorders, digestive issues, and dementia (memory loss).

Sicovit-M Tablet 10's is a combination of four essential vitamin supplements; Methylcobalamin, Folic acid, Pyridoxine, and Vitamin D3. Methylcobalamin regulates body functions like cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Folic acid helps in the formation of red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Pyridoxine is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism, the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and the mineralization of bone.

Use Sicovit-M Tablet 10's as recommended. Sometimes, Sicovit-M Tablet 10's may cause common side effects like vomiting, stomach upset, diarrhoea, drowsiness, flushing, and nausea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.
