Frequently asked questions
What is Neurolic 1500mcg Injection?
Neurolic 1500mcg Injection is a form of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient required by the body to 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 in my diet?
You can obtain vitamin B12 from sources such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. However, people who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet may not get adequate vitamin B12 as it is not naturally present in fruits, vegetables, and grains. Therefore, deficiency of vitamin B12 is commonly observed in individuals following these diets.
What happens if I have 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 are abnormally large). Additionally, it can cause nerve problems such as numbness or tingling in the hands and feet. Other symptoms include balance problems, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and soreness in the mouth or tongue.
