Frequently asked questions
What is Dv Cobal 1500mcg Injection?
Dv Cobal 1500mcg Injection is a form of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient required by the body to produce red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. It also plays a role in releasing energy from food and using vitamin B11 (folate).
Why can’t I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
Vitamin B12 is naturally found in animal products like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. People following vegetarian or vegan diets may not obtain adequate amounts of vitamin B12 from food sources as it is not naturally present in fruits, vegetables, and grains. Therefore, deficiency in vitamin B12 can occur more frequently in these individuals.
What happens if I have vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency may lead to fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (a condition where red blood cells are larger than normal). It can also cause nerve problems like numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. Other symptoms include balance issues, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and soreness of the mouth or tongue.
