Frequently asked questions
What is Acucob Injection?
Acucob Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in the production of red blood cells and maintaining a healthy nervous system. It also contributes to energy release from food and proper utilization of vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why may I struggle to get adequate Vitamin B12 through my diet?
Vitamin B12 can be obtained through animal products such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. Vegetarians and vegans might not obtain sufficient Vitamin B12 from their diets as it is not naturally present in plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains. Consequently, individuals following these diets may face vitamin B12 deficiency.
What are the consequences of suffering from Vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (a condition characterized by abnormally large red blood cells). Additionally, it may manifest in nerve problems like numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. Other potential effects include difficulties with balance, depression, confusion, dementia, memory impairment, and soreness in the mouth or tongue.
Is Acucob Injection safe?
Acucob Injection is generally well-tolerated and considered safe for use. However, some individuals may experience rare side effects like nausea, diarrhea, anorexia, or rash. If a rash develops, discontinue the medication immediately.
How should Acucob Injection be administered?
Acucob Injection can be administered directly into a vein (intravenously) or intramuscularly. The typical dose is 1 ampoule of 0.5 mg of Acucob Injection, given three times a week. After two months, the dose is adjusted to 1 ampoule of 0.5 mg every one to three months as part of long-term maintenance therapy.
What precautions should be taken when administering Acucob Injection?
It's advisable not to inject the medication in the same location repeatedly. If pain or backflow occurs during injection, remove the needle and re-inject at a different site.
