Frequently asked questions
What is Dylan 1000mcg Injection?
Dylan 1000mcg Injection is a solution of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 plays an important role in red blood cell production and maintaining a healthy nervous system. It also assists with releasing energy from food and using vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can’t I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
You can obtain vitamin B12 through foods like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products.

Additionally, it can cause balance issues, depression, confusion, dementia, memory impairment, mouth sores, and tongue soreness.
