Product introduction
Benalgis Tablet contains Benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 that the body can absorb more readily than standard thiamine. It is prescribed when thiamine levels run low, a situation that can affect nerve, muscle, and heart function over time. Because it is fat-soluble, benfotiamine tends to build up more effectively in body tissues compared to plain thiamine, which is why doctors often favour it for correcting deficiency. It is typically used as part of a broader treatment plan addressing the underlying cause of the deficiency.
Storage: Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
