Frequently asked questions
What is Metanuron 1500mcg Injection?
Metanuron 1500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12, which is essential for the body to produce red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. It also plays a role in releasing energy from food and using folate (vitamin B9).
Why can't I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
Vitamin B12 is obtained primarily through animal-based foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Vegans or vegetarians may need to consider supplementation due to the lack of naturally occurring vitamin B12 in plant-based sources like fruits, vegetables, and grains. Deficiencies are therefore often seen in these groups.
What happens if I have vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (a condition where red blood cells become larger than normal). It can also cause nerve problems like numbness or tingling in the hands and feet. Other symptoms may include balance issues, depression, confusion, dementia, impaired memory, and sore mouth or tongue.
Is Metanuron 1500mcg Injection safe?
Metanuron 1500mcg Injection is generally well-tolerated and considered safe. However, in rare cases, it may cause nausea, diarrhea, anorexia (loss of appetite), or skin rash. If you experience a rash, discontinue taking the medication immediately.
How should Metanuron 1500mcg Injection be given?
Metanuron 1500mcg Injection can be administered intravenously (into a vein) or intramuscularly (into a muscle). The usual dose is one ampoule (0.5 mg of Metanuron 1500mcg Injection) administered three times a week, and after two months, one ampoule (0.5 mg of Metanuron 1500mcg Injection) is given every one to three months for maintenance therapy.
