Frequently asked questions
What is Leuro 2500mcg Injection?
Leuro 2500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12, a nutrient essential for red blood cell production and maintaining a healthy nervous system. It also plays a role in energy release from food and using vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why might I not be getting sufficient vitamin B12 from my diet?
Vitamin B12 is commonly found in meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. However, individuals who follow a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle may not consume enough of this nutrient as it is not naturally present in fruits, vegetables, or grains.

Vitamin B12 deficiency may lead to fatigue and weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (a condition where red blood cells become abnormally large).

Other symptoms include difficulty with balance, depression, confusion, memory impairment, dry mouth, or tongue soreness.
