About Folfast-D Tablet

Folfast-D Tablet belongs to the class of 'Vitamins,' primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It is used to treat and prevent vitamin B6 deficiency, folate deficiency and vitamin B12 deficiency. Folfast-D Tablet effectively treats various conditions caused due to lack of vitamins, such as anaemia (lack of red blood cells), peripheral neuropathy (nerve disorder), seizures (fits), hyperoxaluria (excess oxalate levels in urine), homocystinuria (accumulation of an amino acid called homocysteine in urine and blood), cyanide poisoning and hyperhomocysteinemia (high levels of homocysteine in the blood). This medicine is also suggested for boosting the memory and thinking ability of infants and helping develop the brain and eyes in a child during pregnancy.

Folfast-D Tablet contains three medicines, namely Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), Folic acid and Methylcobalamin. DHA plays an essential role in the development of the brain and is vital during pregnancy and infancy. DHA omega-3 fatty acids (oils) reduce excess cholesterol levels in the body, thereby keeping the heart, brain and nerves healthy. DHA is usually located in cell membranes where it helps make more cells membrane that make it easier for nerve cells found in the brain to receive and send electric signals. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate. Folate is a water-soluble vitamin naturally found in food sources. It helps form red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. It prevents and treats low blood levels of folate (folate deficiency) and high blood levels of amino acid, homocysteine (hyperhomocysteinemia). Methylcobalamin, a form of vitamin B12, protects the nerves from damage and promotes blood cell production.

Take Folfast-D Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You should take Folfast-D Tablet as long as your doctor has prescribed it after checking your medical condition. Folfast-D Tablet may cause side effects such as nausea (feeling sick), vomiting (being sick), diarrhoea, anorexia (loss of appetite), headache, weight loss, fatigue, bloating and flatulence. These side effects are usually mild and do not require any medical attention. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor immediately.

Nutritional deficiencies

Medicinal Benefits

Folfast-D Tablet contains three medicines, namely Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), Folic acid and Methylcobalamin. DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is naturally found in cells. It is an essential component of the skin, eyes and brain. It plays a vital role in developing the brain during pregnancy and infancy. It is also used in treating high cholesterol levels in the body. It does so by reducing the thickness of the blood and lowering the body's levels of triglycerides. Folic acid is a man-made form of folate, a naturally occurring B vitamin. It helps in making DNA and other genetic material of the body. It also helps to make healthy new red blood cells that avoid the risk of anaemia (folate deficiency). It is crucial to consume folic acid during pregnancy to fulfil the requirement of blood required for the baby's development. Methylcobalamin is a coenzyme form of vitamin B12 and treats Vitamin B12 deficiency, cyanide poisoning, and hyperhomocysteinemia. It regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation and protein synthesis. It is used in the treatment of alcoholic neuropathy, pernicious anaemia (red blood cells are not produced due to Vitamin B12 deficiency), diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to high blood sugar levels) and multiple sclerosis (immune system disease affecting the brain). Folfast-D Tablet is a good supplement for the person who doesn't eat fish as recommended by the health authorities.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Nutritional deficiencies: A nutritional deficiency occurs when your body does not absorb or get enough food nutrients. Many nutrients are essential for a healthy life. Sometimes your body cannot absorb many nutrients even if you consume them. Nutrient deficiency can lead to many health problems like a weakened immune system, skin problems, heart problems, kidney diseases, respiratory illnesses, or neurological diseases. During pregnancy, a woman's body requires more vitamins, folic acid and DHA for the baby's development, so taking nutrients helps develop the baby.

FAQs

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid. It is a natural part of cells and is an important component of the skin, eyes and brain. It plays an important role in developing the brain during pregnancy and infancy. It is also used in treating high cholesterol levels in the body. It does so by reducing the thickness of the blood and lowering the body's levels of triglycerides.

Usually, every person should take foods that boost the production of folate in their body, or they can take it directly in the form of supplements. However, women who can become pregnant should focus more on their intake. If a woman who can be pregnant has enough folic acid in her body before her pregnancy, then it can help to avoid the risk of major birth defects in her baby's brain and spine.

DHA is good for health, and a person should consume it from either food and supplements or both as the body cannot produce the required DHA (2 grams) by the body. It also helps to prevent or treat health diseases and high cholesterol levels in the body.

Folfast-D Tablet is possibly safe when used in patients with thyroid problems. However, inform your doctor before taking this medicine as Folfast-D Tablet may interact with levothyroxine used to treat hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid).

Folfast-D Tablet can be safely used in patients with diabetes unless you have other problems, such as kidney or bone-related problems. So, it is recommended to inform your doctor before taking Folfast-D Tablet to avoid any risks.
