Product introduction
Vitcofol Injection is a prescription-only nutritional injection that combines nicotinamide, folic acid and cyanocobalamin in a single 10 ml vial. It is used to replenish these nutrients quickly in people who are deficient or unable to absorb them well through food or oral supplements. Because it is given by injection, dosing and administration are handled entirely by a healthcare professional. It is typically used as part of a broader treatment plan for nutritional deficiency rather than as a standalone remedy.
