Frequently asked questions
What is Balmeco 2500mcg Injection?
Balmeco 2500mcg Injection contains Vitamin B12, an essential nutrient needed by the body for red blood cell production and maintaining a healthy nervous system. It's also involved in releasing energy from food and using vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why might I have difficulty getting sufficient Vitamin B12 from my diet?
While some people get Vitamin B12 from their diet through sources such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products, those who are vegetarian or vegan may not consume this source of vitamin naturally. Therefore, deficiency in vitamin B12 is more often seen in vegetarians or vegans.
What happens if I develop a Vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (a condition where red blood cells become abnormally large). It may also lead to nerve problems like numbness or tingling in the hands and feet. Other symptoms might include difficulties with balance, depression, confusion, memory problems, and mouth or tongue soreness.
