Why Does One Prescribe Homocheck And Are There Any Side Effects?
Dear Doctor, What is the medicine Homocheck used exactly for? What are its side effects? My mother had been given this recently by her neurologist and she s been having drowsiness and weakness, feeling sleepy all the time. We can t make out whether there is a connection and in any case what precisely the medicine is suggested for... Thanks, Tania Sengupta

Hi,
Homocheck contains vitamins like vitamin B12, vitamin B6 and vitamin B9 which is indicated for the distinct nutritional requirements of individuals with hyper-homocysteinemia and for individuals with or at risk for atherosclerotic vascular disease. It is a nutritional supplement that is used to maintain a healthy central nervous system, helps in the growth and repair of cells of the body and boost the immune system.
Side effects of Homocheck are nausea, vomiting, headache, stomach upset, skin rashes, indigestion, abdominal distension, flatulence, altered sleep patterns, drowsiness, weakness, sleepiness, confusion, diarrhea, anorexia, bitter taste, overactivity, mental depression, allergic reactions etc. If these side effects persist for long or bother your mother, then you should consult her doctor promptly for medical attention.
Take care. Hope I have answered your questions. Let me know if I can assist you further.
