Mylaxon Tablet

Mylaxon Tablet contains Mecobalamin, a form of Vitamin B12 that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes in the body, including nerve function, red blood cell production, and DNA synthesis. Mecobalamin is an active form of Vitamin B12 that is readily absorbed and utilized by the body. It is often prescribed to treat or prevent Vitamin B12 deficiency, which can lead to symptoms such as anemia, neuropathy, and fatigue.
