Frequently asked questions
What is Mico-B 2.5mg Injection?
Mico-B 2.5mg Injection contains Vitamin B12, an essential nutrient that plays a critical role in red blood cell production and maintaining a healthy nervous system. It also helps release energy from food and facilitates the use of vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why am I unable to get sufficient Vitamin B12 through my diet?
Vitamin B12 is naturally present in foods like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Vegetarians and vegans may face difficulty obtaining adequate Vitamin B12 from their diets as it isn't found naturally in fruits, vegetables, or grains. Therefore, individuals following a vegetarian or vegan diet might be prone to vitamin B12 deficiency.
What are the consequences of having Vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can manifest as tiredness and weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (an increase in red blood cell size). Additionally, it may lead to nerve problems such as numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. Other potential symptoms include balance issues, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and dryness or soreness in the mouth or tongue.
Is Mico-B 2.5mg Injection safe?
