About B-Folcin Syrup

B-Folcin Syrup belongs to the class of 'multivitamins' primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies due to various complications or long-term diseases.

B-Folcin Syrup is used to treat and prevent folic acid (vitamin B9) deficiency, anaemia (lack of red blood cells), peripheral neuropathy (nerve disorder), neural tube defects (birth defects) like spina bifida (a spinal cord defect), and anencephaly (a brain defect) and hyperhomocysteinemia (high levels of homocysteine in the blood).

B-Folcin Syrup contains Folic acid (vitamin B9) and Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12). Folic acid treats low levels of Vitamin B9, anaemia (low haemoglobin), neural tube defects, cleft palate (birth defects), and anaemia caused by faulty development of red blood cells, such as after stomach surgery or during pregnancy. Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form of vitamin B12 that is not found in nature and regulates body functions such as cell growth, blood formation, and protein synthesis.

Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience common side effects like stomach upset and loss of appetite. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
