MYO-INOSITOL.L-METHYLFOLATE
MYO-INOSITOL.L-METHYLFOLATE: MYO-INOSITOL.L-METHYLFOLATE is a combination drug that consists of myo-inositol and L-methylfolate. It is commonly used as a supplement in the treatment of certain conditions related to reproductive health and mental wellness.
The mechanism of action of MYO-INOSITOL.L-METHYLFOLATE is not fully understood. However, myo-inositol is believed to play a role in insulin signaling pathways and can have an impact on glucose metabolism. It is also thought to influence serotonin and dopamine receptors, potentially affecting mood regulation. L-methylfolate, on the other hand, is the active form of folate, which is required for the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and neurotransmitters.
MYO-INOSITOL.L-METHYLFOLATE is primarily used in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and as an adjunctive therapy for major depressive disorder (MDD). It may also be used in the management of other conditions such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, and autism spectrum disorders.
The dosing of MYO-INOSITOL.L-METHYLFOLATE may vary depending on the condition being treated. For PCOS, the typical dose is 2 grams of myo-inositol combined with 200 mcg of L-methylfolate taken twice daily. For MDD, the recommended dose is 15 mg of L-methylfolate per day.
Common side effects of MYO-INOSITOL.L-METHYLFOLATE may include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Some individuals may also experience dizziness, headache, or allergic reactions. It is important to consult a healthcare professional before starting this medication to discuss potential side effects and determine the appropriate dose for your specific needs.
