FAQs
Mecobalamin+nicotinamide+pyridoxine is a vitamin supplement and consists of Pyridoxine (vitamin B6), Mecobalamin (vitamin B12), and Nicotinamide. When you lack these vitamins in your body, which cannot be recovered even with the food sources, Mecobalamin+nicotinamide+pyridoxine helps normalize these deficient levels.
Vitamin B6 deficiency occurs when your body lacks adequate Pyridoxine levels. You can overcome this deficiency by including food sources rich in Pyridoxine like milk, eggs, beef, pork, chicken or turkey, fish, peanuts, soya beans, wheat germ, oats, and bananas. If your Vitamin B6 levels are still low, your doctor may suggest its supplements.
Vitamin B12 deficiency is caused when you don't have enough Methylcobalamin or Mecobalamin levels in your body. You can include natural Vitamin B12 sources like eggs, beef, liver, chicken, trout, salmon, tuna fish, clams, fortified breakfast cereal, low-fat milk, yoghurt, and cheese in your diet for treating this deficiency. If you still have low levels of B12, please consult your doctor for its supplements.
It is important to tell your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food) since it may be hard to absorb Vitamin B6 through oral administration. Your doctor may suggest other dosage forms in such a case. Do not take Mecobalamin+nicotinamide+pyridoxine if you are allergic to pyridoxine, nicotinamide and mecobalamin, have eye problems (Leber's optic atrophy), or take levodopa for Parkinson’s disease.
Pyridoxine may interfere with laboratory tests like urine tests for urobilinogen. Please make sure your doctor and the laboratory staff know that you take Mecobalamin+nicotinamide+pyridoxine before undergoing any blood and urine examinations.
