Frequently asked questions
What is Kycomin 1500mcg Injection?
Kycomin 1500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12, an essential nutrient. Vitamin B12 plays a vital role in producing red blood cells and maintaining a healthy nervous system. It also helps release energy from food and aids in the use of vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can’t I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
Vitamin B12 is typically found in animal-based foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Vegetarians and vegans may experience a lack of Vitamin B12 because it's not naturally present in plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains. Therefore, individuals who follow these diets should ensure adequate intake through supplements or fortified foods.
What happens if I have vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to various symptoms including fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (large red blood cells). It can also cause nerve problems such as tingling and numbness in the hands and feet. Other signs may include balance issues, depression, confusion, dementia, memory problems, dry mouth, and tongue soreness.
Is Kycomin 1500mcg Injection safe?
Kycomin 1500mcg Injection is generally well-tolerated and considered safe. However, potential side effects may occur in some individuals, such as nausea, diarrhea, anorexia, or a rash. If any rash occurs, discontinue the medication immediately.

Kycomin 1500mcg Injection can be administered via subcutaneous injection into a muscle (intramuscular) or directly into a vein (intravenous).
