Frequently asked questions
What is Cobalsure 500mcg Injection?
Cobalsure 500mcg Injection contains cobalamin, also known as vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 plays a crucial role in red blood cell formation and maintaining a healthy nervous system. It is vital for energy metabolism and the proper functioning of vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can't I get sufficient vitamin B12 from my diet?
Vitamin B12 is typically found in animal products such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. Vegetarians and vegans may not obtain enough vitamin B12 from their diet because it is not naturally present in plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, or grains. As a result, deficiency in Vitamin B12 is more commonly observed in this population.
What happens if I experience vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia. This condition is characterized by abnormally large red blood cells. Other potential signs include nerve problems like numbness and tingling in the extremities (hands and feet), balance issues, depression, confusion, dementia, memory impairment, and a painful feeling in the mouth or tongue.
Is Cobalsure 500mcg Injection safe?
Cobalsure 500mcg Injection is generally well-tolerated. However, some individuals might experience mild side effects like nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, or a rash. If you notice a rash while using this medication, discontinue use and seek medical attention.
How should Cobalsure 500mcg Injection be administered?
Cobalsure 500mcg Injection can be administered via intravenous (into a vein) or intramuscular (into a muscle) injection.
