Frequently asked questions
What is Bam 500mcg Injection?
Bam 500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient needed for red blood cell formation and a healthy nervous system. It also plays a role in releasing energy from food and using vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can’t I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
Vitamin B12 is found in meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. While individuals who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet may not readily obtain vitamin B12 as it is not naturally present in fruits, vegetables, and grains.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss and megaloblastic anemia (an abnormal increase in red blood cell size).

Other symptoms include balance issues, depression, confusion, dementia, memory problems, and soreness of the mouth or tongue.
