Frequently asked questions
What is Coblona 500mcg Injection?
Coblona 500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that helps the body make 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 can’t I get sufficient vitamin B12 from my diet?
While most people obtain vitamin B12 from meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products, individuals who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet may not get enough due to the lack of naturally occurring vitamin B12 in fruits, vegetables, and grains. Therefore, it is essential for vegetarians and vegans to ensure adequate intake of this nutrient through supplements.
What happens if I have vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (an abnormal development of red blood cells). It may also cause nerve problems, such as numbness or tingling in the hands and feet. Other symptoms include difficulties with balance, depression, confusion, dementia, memory impairment, and mouth soreness.
