Suggest A Substitute For Metanx 1x

I ve taken over my 85 y.o. father in laws medicine refills and distribution. He had been taking one capsule of metanx 1x daily. The doctor told him he could use an over the counter equivalent, but I m confused as to what that would be. He currently takes 2 1000mg tabs per day.

Hi & Welcome.

Metanx 1x tablet contains essential vitamins such as Folic acid (vitamin B9), Pyridoxal phosphate (Vitamin B6) and Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12).

The same ingredients of essential vitamins can be had from the OTC equivalent brands like Metaspan or Gestafol.

Hope this answers your query.
