Product introduction
Vitcofol C Injection is a prescription combination of methylcobalamin, folic acid, niacinamide and vitamin C, given as an injectable dose rather than an oral supplement. It is used when a faster or more reliable route of replenishing these nutrients is needed, such as during recovery from illness or in confirmed deficiency states. Because it bypasses digestion, it can be useful for patients whose absorption from the gut is reduced. It is administered only by a doctor or nurse under medical supervision.
