Frequently asked questions
What is M Cob 500mcg Injection?
M Cob 500mcg Injection is a form of vitamin B12, an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in the production of red blood cells, maintaining a healthy nervous system, and releasing energy from food. It is also important for the proper functioning of vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can’t I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
Vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal-based foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Individuals who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet may be at a higher risk of developing a vitamin B12 deficiency, as it is not naturally present in plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains.
What happens if I have vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause a range of symptoms, including fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (a condition characterized by abnormally large red blood cells). Additionally, it may lead to nerve problems such as numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, as well as cognitive issues like problems with balance, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and soreness of the mouth or tongue.
