Frequently asked questions
What is Mithox 2500 Injection?
Mithox 2500 Injection is a form of vitamin B12, an essential nutrient required by the body to produce red blood cells, maintain a healthy nervous system, and release energy from food. It is also important for using 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 not get sufficient vitamin B12 from their diet, as it is not naturally found in plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains. This may lead to a deficiency in vitamin B12.
What happens if I have vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency may cause a range of symptoms, including tiredness, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (a condition where red blood cells become larger than normal). It may also lead to nerve problems such as numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, as well as problems with balance, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and soreness of the mouth or tongue.
Is Mithox 2500 Injection safe?
Mithox 2500 Injection is generally well-tolerated and considered safe. However, rare side effects may occur, such as nausea, diarrhea, anorexia, and rash. If a rash occurs, discontinue taking this medicine immediately and consult a healthcare professional.
