Frequently asked questions
What is Cobavin 1500 Injection?
Cobavin 1500 Injection is a form of vitamin B12, an essential nutrient that helps produce red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. It also plays a crucial role in energy production and the utilization of vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can't I get sufficient vitamin B12 through my diet?
Vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal-based foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Individuals who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet may be at risk for vitamin B12 deficiency since this nutrient is not naturally present in plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains.
What are the potential consequences of a vitamin B12 deficiency?
A deficiency in vitamin B12 can lead to symptoms such as tiredness, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (a condition characterized by abnormally large red blood cells). Additionally, nerve problems like numbness and tingling in the hands and feet may occur. Other potential symptoms include balance issues, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and mouth or tongue soreness.
Is Cobavin 1500 Injection safe for use?
Cobavin 1500 Injection is generally well-tolerated and considered safe. However, rare side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and rash. If a rash occurs, discontinue use immediately.

What precautions should I take when administering Cobavin 1500 Injection?
To avoid discomfort or complications, it's essential to vary the injection site each time. If you experience intense pain during injection or notice blood flowing back into the syringe, remove the needle and reinsert at a different location.
