Frequently asked questions
What is Biometh 1500 Injection?
Biometh 1500 Injection contains Vitamin B12. This vitamin plays an important role in the body by helping create red blood cells and maintaining a healthy nervous system. It also aids in releasing energy from food and using vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why may I not get enough Vitamin B12 through diet?
You can obtain Vitamin B12 from foods like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. However, people who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet may not get enough as they do not consume naturally occurring Vitamin B12 in fruits, vegetables, or grains. Therefore, individuals on these diets may experience vitamin B12 deficiency.
What happens if I am deficient in Vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (a condition causing abnormally large red blood cells). It may also result in nerve problems like numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. Other possible signs of deficiency include issues with balance, depression, confusion, dementia, memory impairment, sore mouth or tongue.
Is Biometh 1500 Injection safe?
Biometh 1500 Injection is generally well tolerated and considered safe. However, in rare cases, side effects like nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, or a rash may occur. It's crucial to discontinue use immediately if you experience a rash.
