Fol 123

Fol 123 is used for this medicine is used. Prescription required.

This medicine is used in the treatment of vitamin b deficiency, nerve pain and tingling, anaemia, tiredness due to deficiency, high triglycerides, dietary supplementation, heart health support and nutritional deficiency.

This medicine combines 5 active ingredients: Methylcobalamin, Docosahexaenoic Acid, Potassium Iodide, Folic Acid and Pyridoxine. Methylcobalamin replaces a B vitamin your body needs to make red blood cells, to keep nerves healthy and to release energy from food. Docosahexaenoic Acid supplies omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower blood triglyceride levels. Potassium Iodide supplies a vitamin, mineral or nutrient that your diet may not be providing in sufficient amount. Folic Acid replaces a B vitamin your body needs to make red blood cells, to keep nerves healthy and to release energy from food. Pyridoxine replaces a B vitamin your body needs to make red blood cells, to keep nerves healthy and to release energy from food.

Use this medicine as your doctor has directed. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

Nausea, Stomach upset, Harmless bright yellow urine, Loose motions, Fishy aftertaste or burps, Indigestion, Constipation

Tingling, numbness or burning in the hands and feet should be assessed by a doctor rather than self-treated — a supplement does not address the cause. Folic acid can mask a vitamin B12 deficiency while nerve damage continues, so B12 should be checked before taking folic acid long term. Bright yellow urine after a B-complex dose is expected and harmless. Tell your doctor if you take a blood thinner — high doses of omega-3 can add to its effect. Check the source if you have a fish or shellfish allergy. A supplement is not a substitute for a balanced diet or for treating the cause of a symptom. Iron makes stools black and can cause constipation — this is expected, but tell your doctor if it troubles you. Keep iron-containing products well out of reach of children; an overdose in a small child is a medical emergency. Check the labels of everything you take so you do not double up on the same nutrient. Do not take high-dose vitamin B6 for long periods without medical advice — sustained excess can cause nerve damage.

Long-term metformin, acid-reducing medicines and some anti-epileptics lower B12 or folate levels. Tell your doctor if you take levodopa, as vitamin B6 can reduce its effect. May add to the effect of blood thinners and antiplatelet medicines. Iron, calcium, zinc and magnesium reduce the absorption of thyroid tablets and several antibiotics — separate them by a few hours. Tea and coffee taken with iron reduce how much is absorbed; vitamin C increases it.

Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
