Frequently asked questions
What is Medineuron Injection?

Why can't I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
While vitamin B12 can be obtained from animal-based foods like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products, vegetarians or vegans may not get enough of this essential nutrient as it is not naturally found in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, and grains.

Other possible symptoms include balance issues, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and soreness in the mouth or tongue.
Is Medineuron Injection safe?
Medineuron Injection is generally well-tolerated and considered safe for use. However, rare side effects may occur, such as nausea, diarrhea, anorexia, and rash. If a rash develops, discontinue using the injection immediately.
How should Medineuron Injection be given?
Medineuron Injection can be administered either intravenously (directly into a vein) or intramuscularly (into a muscle). The typical dose is one ampoule (0.5 mg of Medineuron Injection), which is given three times a week. After two months, the injection schedule may be adjusted to once every one to three months as part of maintenance therapy.
What precautions need to be taken while administering Medineuron Injection?
