This medicine contains Levomefolic acid + Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (Vitamin B6) + Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12) and is used to treat and prevent vitamin B deficiencies, support nerve health, improve red blood cell formation, and manage diabetic neuropathy and other nerve-related disorders. 

Levomefolic acid is an active form of folate that helps produce healthy red blood cells and supports DNA synthesis. Pyridoxal-5-phosphate, the active form of Vitamin B6, helps in protein metabolism, nerve function, and neurotransmitter production. Methylcobalamin, the active form of Vitamin B12, helps repair damaged nerves, supports brain function, and promotes healthy red blood cell formation. 

Common side effects include nausea, stomach discomfort, headache, diarrhea, and skin rash. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. This medicine should be used with caution in people who are allergic to any of its ingredients or have certain medical conditions. It is commonly prescribed for vitamin deficiencies, neuropathy, and neurological disorders.

Levomefolic Acid, Pyridoxal and Methylcobalamin work together to support healthy nerve function, improve vitamin B levels, and promote red blood cell production. Levomefolic acid provides the active form of folate needed for DNA synthesis and healthy blood cell formation. Pyridoxal-5-phosphate supports nerve signaling, protein metabolism, and neurotransmitter production. Methylcobalamin repairs damaged nerves, improves nerve conduction, and helps produce healthy red blood cells. Together, they help reduce nerve damage, improve neurological function, and correct vitamin deficiencies.
