Frequently asked questions
What is Edycob 1500mcg Injection?
Edycob 1500mcg Injection contains 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 from my diet?
You obtain Vitamin B12 from sources like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Vegetarians or vegans may not acquire enough Vitamin B12 as it is not naturally found in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, and grains. This can lead to deficiency.
What happens if I have vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency may cause fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (a condition where red blood cells become larger than normal). It can also lead to nerve problems such as numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. Other symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency may include balance issues, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and soreness of the mouth or tongue.
