Frequently asked questions
What is Alamin Injection?
Alamin Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 plays an essential role in red blood cell production, as well as maintaining a healthy nervous system. It also contributes to energy release and utilization of vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why may I not get enough vitamin B12 from my diet?
Vitamin B12 is found naturally in meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Individuals who are vegetarian or vegan may struggle to obtain sufficient vitamin B12 as it's not naturally present in fruits, vegetables, and grains. This can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency.
What happens if I have a vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency may result in tiredness, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (an abnormal increase in red blood cell size). Symptoms can also include nerve problems like numbness or tingling in the hands and feet. Other potential side effects include balance issues, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and mouth or tongue soreness.
Is Alamin Injection safe?
Alamin Injection is generally well-tolerated and considered safe for use. However, rare side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, anorexia, and rash have been reported. If a rash occurs, discontinue using the medication immediately.
How should Alamin Injection be administered?
Alamin Injection can be injected into a vein (intravenously) or muscle (intramuscularly). The usual dosage is 0.5 mg of Alamin Injection and it's administered three times a week. After two months, use 0.5 mg of Alamin Injection every one to three months as part of maintenance therapy.
What precautions should be taken while administering Alamin Injection?
Avoid injecting the same location repeatedly. If pain is severe during injection or if blood flows back into the syringe, remove the needle and re-inject at a different site.
