Frequently asked questions
What is Mecoyes 1500mcg Injection?
Mecoyes 1500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12, an essential nutrient for red blood cell formation and a healthy nervous system. It aids in energy production by supporting vitamin B11 (folate) utilization.
Why can't I get sufficient vitamin B12 through my diet?
Vitamin B12 is typically found in animal-based foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. Vegetarians and vegans may have difficulty obtaining vitamin B12 from their diets as it is not naturally present in fruits, vegetables, or grains. Consequently, deficiencies are commonly observed in these groups.
What happens if I experience a Vitamin B12 deficiency?
A vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to symptoms like fatigue and weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (large red blood cells). It may also affect nerves, causing numbness or tingling in hands and feet. Additional symptoms might include balance problems, depression, confusion, dementia, memory problems, and soreness of the mouth or tongue.
Is Mecoyes 1500mcg Injection safe?
Generally well-tolerated, Mecoyes 1500mcg Injection is considered safe. However, in rare instances, side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, anorexia, and rash may occur. If a rash occurs, discontinue the medication immediately.

Mecoyes 1500mcg Injection can be administered either intravenously (directly into a vein) or intramuscularly (into a muscle). The typical dose is 1 ampoule (0.5 mg of Mecoyes 1500mcg Injection), given three times per week.
