Frequently asked questions
What is Mebitec 2500mcg Injection?
Mebitec 2500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 plays an essential role in red blood cell production and maintaining a healthy nervous system, and it helps release energy from food.

Why can’t I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
You may obtain vitamin B12 through sources like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. However, individuals who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet may not be able to naturally incorporate sufficient amounts of Vitamin B12 into their meals as it is not found naturally in many plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, and grains.
