Metax Capsule (10 Capsules)

Metax Capsule is a capsule made by CCL Pharmaceuticals Ltd that contains L-Methylfolate + B6 + B12, an active B vitamin supplement. It is used for vitamin deficiency, nerve support, pregnancy support and raised homocysteine. Pack size: 10 capsules.

Uses of Metax Capsule

Metax Capsule is a supplement containing the active forms of folate, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. It may be recommended to correct low levels of these vitamins, to support nerve health in conditions such as diabetic nerve problems, before and during pregnancy, and when blood homocysteine levels are raised. It is meant to complement, not replace, a balanced diet and any treatment from your doctor.

How Metax Capsule works

L-methylfolate, pyridoxal phosphate and methylcobalamin are the forms of folate, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 that the body uses directly. They work together in processes that make DNA and red blood cells, maintain the protective coating of nerves and break down homocysteine. Being already active, they do not need conversion in the body.

Possible side effects

Metax Capsule is usually well tolerated. Occasional side effects may include:

• Nausea
• Stomach upset or bloating
• Mild headache
• Loss of appetite
• Skin rash or itching

Stop taking it and seek urgent help if you notice swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing or a severe rash. See a doctor if you develop numbness or tingling that gets worse.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor if you take medicines for epilepsy, methotrexate or levodopa, as B vitamins can interact with them.
• Do not take extra vitamin B6 for long periods unless advised, because high amounts over time can affect the nerves.
• Folate can hide the signs of vitamin B12 deficiency, so unexplained tiredness or tingling should be checked by a doctor.
• If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, ask your doctor which folate supplement suits you.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
