INTRODUCTION

MECO-OD is a nutritional supplement used in adults to treat lack of nutrients in conditions like diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage occurring over time because of high levels of sugar and fat in the blood due to diabetes).

MECO-OD contains various vitamins and trace elements that helps to reactivate injured nerve cells and manage nutritional shortages.

Alpha lipoic acid is a strong antioxidant that prevents neural complications. Vitamin D helps in increasing the level of nerve growth factor by stimulating its synthesis and preventing its exhaustion. Pyridoxine is an essential nutrient which is required to make nerve chemicals.

Folic acid and methylcobalamin help in making myelin (substance which covers and protect nerve fibres), thus restores the injured nerve cell, enhances the functional recovery of nerves, and speeds-up nerve conduction, and cell multiplication.

Take MECO-OD exactly as advised by your doctor. Do not take MECO-OD if you have been told that you have high vitamin D or calcium levels in blood or malabsorption syndrome.

MECO-OD should be used with caution if you have any kidney or heart conditions. Ask your doctor before giving MECO-OD to pregnant women, breastfeeding women or children.
