Frequently asked questions
What is Methvit 1500 Injection?
Methvit 1500 Injection is a form of vitamin B12, an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in the production of red blood cells, maintaining a healthy nervous system, and releasing energy from food. It is also important for the proper functioning of vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can’t I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
Vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal-based foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Vegetarians and vegans may be at a higher risk of deficiency as it is not naturally present in plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause a range of symptoms, including fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (a condition characterized by abnormally large red blood cells). It may also lead to nerve problems such as numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hands and feet. Other possible symptoms include balance problems, depression, confusion, memory impairment, and soreness of the mouth or tongue.
Is Methvit 1500 Injection safe?
