Frequently asked questions
What is Mecoz Injection?

Why may people not get sufficient vitamin B12 in their diet?
Individuals who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet may be at risk of developing a vitamin B12 deficiency, as this nutrient is naturally found in animal products like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. Fruits, vegetables, and grains do not provide sufficient amounts of vitamin B12.

A deficiency in vitamin B12 can lead to a range of symptoms, including tiredness, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia. It may also cause nerve problems such as numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, as well as other issues like balance problems, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and soreness of the mouth or tongue.
Is Mecoz Injection generally safe to use?
Mecoz Injection is considered safe for most people. However, some individuals may experience rare side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, anorexia, and rash. If a rash occurs, discontinue use of the medicine immediately.
How should Mecoz Injection be administered?
The recommended dose of Mecoz Injection is 1 ampoule (0.5 mg) given intravenously or intramuscularly. This is typically done three times a week for the first two months, after which the dosage can be adjusted to 1 ampoule every one to three months as part of maintenance therapy.
What precautions should be taken when administering Mecoz Injection?
When giving injections, avoid using the same site each time. If intense pain is experienced or blood flows back into the syringe, remove the needle and reinsert it at a different location.
