Frequently asked questions
What is Neuro-Guard Injection?
Neuro-Guard Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that helps the body make red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. It also plays a role in releasing energy from food and using vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can't I get sufficient vitamin B12 through my diet?
You may not be getting enough vitamin B12 from your diet. It is mainly found in animal products like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. People who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet may have difficulty obtaining enough vitamin B12 as it's not naturally present in fruits, vegetables, and grains. Therefore, vitamin B12 deficiency may be more common in these individuals.
What happens if I experience 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 may also cause nerve problems such as numbness or tingling in the hands and feet. Other potential symptoms include balance issues, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and soreness of the mouth or tongue.
Is Neuro-Guard Injection safe?
Neuro-Guard Injection is generally well tolerated and considered safe when administered according to instructions. However, in rare cases, side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, anorexia, and rash may occur. Discontinue using the medication immediately if a rash develops.
How should Neuro-Guard Injection be given?
Neuro-Guard Injection can be administered intravenously (into a vein) or intramuscularly (into a muscle). The usual dose is one ampoule containing 0.5 mg of Neuro-Guard Injection, and it is given three times per week. After two months, one ampoule (0.5 mg of Neuro-Guard Injection) is given every one to three months as part of maintenance therapy.
What precautions need to be taken when administering Neuro-Guard Injection?
It's important to avoid injecting the medicine at the same site each time. If experiencing intense pain during injection or if blood flows back into the syringe, remove the needle and reinsert it at a different site.
