Frequently asked questions
What is B-Coba Injection?
B-Coba Injection is a vitamin B12 preparation. Vitamin B12 plays a critical role in the body's production of red blood cells and maintenance of a healthy nervous system. It also aids in converting food into energy and utilizing vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why might I have difficulty obtaining sufficient vitamin B12 through my diet?
You may face challenges getting vitamin B12 from your diet if you are a vegetarian or vegan. This is because vitamin B12 is not naturally found in many plant-based foods, like fruits, vegetables, and grains. Therefore, people who follow these diets often need supplementation for their vitamin B12 requirements.
What are the potential consequences of a vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to symptoms such as fatigue and weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, unexplained weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (an abnormal increase in red blood cell size). It can also trigger nerve problems including numbness and tingling sensations in the hands and feet. Other potential symptoms include difficulties with balance, depression, confusion, memory impairment, dryness in the mouth or tongue, and muscle soreness.
Is B-Coba Injection safe to use?
B-Coba Injection is generally well tolerated and considered safe. However, in rare cases, possible side effects include nausea, diarrhea, anorexia (loss of appetite), and rashes. Discontinue using this medicine immediately if you experience a rash.
How should B-Coba Injection be administered?
B-Coba Injection can be injected into a vein (intravenously) or into a muscle (intramuscularly). The usual dose is 1 ampoule (0.5 mg of B-Coba Injection), and it's given three times per week. After two months, a single 0.5 mg dose is administered every one to three months as part of maintenance therapy.
Are there any precautions to be taken when administering B-Coba Injection?
When administering B-Coba Injection, avoid injecting at the same site each time. If you experience intense pain while injecting or if blood flows back into the syringe, remove the needle and re-insert it at a different location.
