How Hicobal Tablets 500mcg works

Mecobalamin (methylcobalamin) is the form of vitamin B12 that the body uses directly in nerve cells.

Improvement in nerve symptoms is gradual and may take several weeks.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor if you are allergic to vitamin B12 (cobalamin) or cobalt.
• Numbness, tingling or weakness can have several causes, so get them checked by a doctor rather than treating them on your own for a long time.
