Frequently asked questions
What is Cobafast 1500mcg Injection?
Cobafast 1500mcg Injection contains cobalamin, also known as vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that your body needs to produce red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. It also plays a role in releasing energy from food, and it works together with vitamin B11 (folate) for various bodily functions.
Why may I have difficulty getting enough Vitamin B12 from my diet?
You can obtain vitamin B12 through foods like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. However, vegetarians or vegans might not get sufficient B12 as it's not naturally found in fruits, vegetables, and grains. Therefore, deficiency of vitamin B12 is common among these groups.
What are the consequences of a Vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia. Anemia is characterized by large red blood cells that don't function optimally. It may also cause nerve problems like numbness or tingling in the hands and feet. Other symptoms include balance issues, depression, confusion, memory problems, sore mouth or tongue.
