Frequently asked questions
What is Mecomont 1500mcg Injection?
Mecomont 1500mcg Injection is a form of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that is necessary for 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 (folic acid).
