Frequently asked questions
What is Dumel Forte 1000mcg Injection?
Dumel Forte 1000mcg Injection is a form of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that the body requires to make red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. It is also important for releasing energy from food and using vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can’t I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
You may not be getting enough vitamin B12 from your diet. Vitamin B12 is found naturally in some animal-based foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. People who follow vegetarian or vegan diets may find it harder to get enough vitamin B12 as it's not present in plant foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains. Therefore, deficiency in this essential nutrient is more common amongst those who don’t consume animal-derived products.
What happens if I have vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to several symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (a condition causing abnormally large red blood cells). It may also lead to nerve problems like numbness or tingling in the hands and feet. Other possible symptoms include balance issues, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and sore mouth or tongue.
Is Dumel Forte 1000mcg Injection safe?
Dumel Forte 1000mcg Injection is generally well tolerated and considered safe. However, in rare cases, side effects like nausea, diarrhea, anorexia (loss of appetite), and rash may occur. If a rash occurs during or after using Dumel Forte 1000mcg Injection, discontinue use immediately.
