Frequently asked questions
What is Nurimed 1500 Injection?
Nurimed 1500 Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 plays a vital role in producing red blood cells and maintaining a healthy nervous system. It also helps release energy from food and the use of vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why might I have trouble getting enough vitamin B12 through diet?
You can get vitamin B12 primarily from meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Individuals who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet may not naturally obtain sufficient amounts of vitamin B12 as it is not found in plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains. Consequently, vegetarians or vegans are more prone to experiencing vitamin B12 deficiency.
What happens if I have a deficiency in vitamin B12?
A lack of vitamin B12 can lead to symptoms such as fatigue and weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (an abnormal increase in red blood cells). It may also cause nerve problems like numbness or tingling in the hands and feet. Other potential signs of deficiency include balance issues, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and soreness in the mouth or tongue.
Is Nurimed 1500 Injection safe to use?
Nurimed 1500 Injection is generally well-tolerated and considered safe. However, it's important to note that some individuals may experience rare side effects, including nausea, diarrhea, anorexia, and rash. If a rash develops during or after taking this medication, discontinue use immediately.
How should Nurimed 1500 Injection be administered?
Nurimed 1500 Injection can be administered intravenously (into a vein) or intramuscularly (into a muscle). The typical dose is one ampoule containing 0.5 mg of Nurimed 1500 Injection, given three times weekly. After two months, the dosage becomes once every one to three months as part of maintenance therapy.
What precautions should I be aware of when administering Nurimed 1500 Injection?
