Frequently asked questions
What is Nerfit Injection?
Nerfit Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 plays a critical role in red blood cell production, maintaining a healthy nervous system, and releasing energy from food. It also interacts with vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can't I get sufficient vitamin B12 through diet?
People who follow vegetarian or vegan diets may not obtain adequate vitamin B12, as it is not naturally found in plants. Therefore, individuals adhering to these dietary choices are at higher risk of developing vitamin B12 deficiency.
What happens if I have a vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause fatigue and weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (abnormally large red blood cells). It can also result in neurological symptoms like numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. Other possible side effects include balance problems, depression, confusion, dementia, memory issues, and sore mouth or tongue.
Is Nerfit Injection safe?
Nerfit Injection is generally well-tolerated and considered safe. However, some individuals may experience rare side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite (anorexia), or rash. If a rash develops, discontinue use of the injection immediately.
How should Nerfit Injection be administered?
Nerfit Injection can be given intravenously (directly into a vein) or intramuscularly (into a muscle). The usual dose is 0.5 mg and it is administered three times a week. After two months, a dose of 0.5 mg is given every one to three months for maintenance therapy.
What precautions should be taken when administering Nerfit Injection?
Avoid injecting the medication at the same site repeatedly. If experiencing intense pain while injecting or if blood flows back into the syringe, remove the needle and re-insert it at a different site.
