About Cholecalciferol+cyanocobalamin+elemental Iron+folic Acid+pyridoxine
Cholecalciferol+cyanocobalamin+elemental Iron+folic Acid+pyridoxine belongs to a class of medicines called 'haematinics' primarily used to prevent and treat anaemia (lack of blood) due to iron deficiency. Also, it is used to treat iron-deficiency anaemia during pregnancy and lactation. Anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to various body tissues.
Cholecalciferol+cyanocobalamin+elemental Iron+folic Acid+pyridoxine contains Elemental Iron, Folic acid, Cyanocobalamin, Cholecalciferol and Pyridoxine. Elemental iron and folic acid work by increasing red blood cells (RBC) and haemoglobin (a protein) production in the body. Cholecalciferol helps iron metabolism and the production of red blood cells. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and Cyanocobalamin are essential for the production and maturation of red blood cells.
Take Cholecalciferol+cyanocobalamin+elemental Iron+folic Acid+pyridoxine as prescribed. You are advised to take Cholecalciferol+cyanocobalamin+elemental Iron+folic Acid+pyridoxine for as long as your doctor has recommended it based on your medical condition.
