Frequently asked questions
What is Melcobeon 1500mcg Injection?
Melcobeon 1500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12, which is an essential nutrient the body needs to make red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. Vitamin B12 also aids in energy release from food and utilizes vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can't I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
Vitamin B12 is commonly found in meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. However, vegetarians and vegans may lack sufficient vitamin B12 because it is not naturally present in many plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains. Therefore, those following these diets are more susceptible to vitamin B12 deficiency.
What happens if I have a vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (larger than normal red blood cells).
