Uses of Merosya 14 Tablet

Merosya 14 Tablet is used in the treatment of Multiple sclerosis.

  • Follow a Bland Diet: Eat easy-to-digest foods to help firm up your stool and settle your stomach. Try incorporating bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, plain crackers, and boiled vegetables into your diet.
