Frequently asked questions
What is Chiny Injection?
Chiny Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that helps your body produce red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. It also plays a role in releasing energy from food and using vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why might I not be able to get enough vitamin B12 through my diet?
Vitamin B12 is found naturally in some animal-based foods like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. However, people who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet may not get enough vitamin B12 as it's not naturally present in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, and grains. This can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency.
What happens if I have a vitamin B12 deficiency?
A deficiency of vitamin B12 can cause fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss and megaloblastic anemia (a condition where red blood cells are larger than normal). It may also lead to nerve problems like numbness or tingling in your hands and feet. Other symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency include difficulties with balance, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and soreness of the mouth or tongue.
Is Chiny Injection safe?
Chiny Injection is generally well-tolerated and considered safe. However, in rare cases, side effects may occur such as nausea, diarrhea, anorexia (loss of appetite), and rash. If you experience a rash, stop taking the medication immediately.
How should Chiny Injection be administered?
Chiny Injection can be given directly into a vein (intravenously) or muscle (intramuscularly). The usual dose is 1 ampoule (0.5 mg of Chiny Injection), and it's given three times a week. After two months, 1 ampoule (0.5 mg of Chiny Injection) is given every one to three months as part of maintenance therapy.
What precautions need to be taken when administering Chiny Injection?
Always inject Chiny Injection into a different site each time. If you experience intense pain during injection or if blood flows back into the syringe, remove the needle and re-insert at a different location.
