Frequently asked questions
What is Medimine 2500mcg Injection?
Medimine 2500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12, an essential nutrient necessary for the body to produce red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. It also plays a role in energy release from food and using vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can't I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
You can obtain vitamin B12 from dietary sources such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. However, individuals who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet may not naturally consume enough vitamin B12 since it is not found in plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains. This often leads to a deficiency in vitamin B12.
What happens if I have vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can manifest as fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (an increase in the size of red blood cells). This condition may lead to nerve problems such as numbness or tingling in the hands and feet. Other potential symptoms include difficulties with balance, depression, confusion, dementia, impaired memory, and soreness in the mouth or tongue.
Is Medimine 2500mcg Injection safe?
Medimine 2500mcg Injection is generally well-tolerated and considered safe. However, rare side effects like nausea, diarrhea, anorexia, and rash have been reported in some individuals. Discontinue the medicine if a rash develops.
