Frequently asked questions
What is Rejunex Injection?
Rejunex Injection contains vitamin B12, an essential nutrient that plays a vital role in red blood cell production and maintaining a healthy nervous system. It also aids energy release from food and facilitates the utilization of vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why may I struggle to get sufficient vitamin B12 through my diet?
Vitamin B12 is often found in meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. However, individuals who follow vegetarian or vegan diets may not obtain adequate levels of vitamin B12 as it is not naturally present in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, and grains. Therefore, these individuals are at risk for developing vitamin B12 deficiency.
What happens if I experience a vitamin B12 deficiency?
A deficiency in vitamin B12 can lead to various symptoms including fatigue and weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, megaloblastic anemia (an abnormally large red blood cell), and nerve problems such as numbness or tingling in the hands and feet. Additionally, individuals with vitamin B12 deficiency may experience issues with balance, depression, cognitive decline, difficulty remembering information, a dry mouth, or sores on their tongue.
Is Rejunex Injection safe?
Rejunex Injection is generally well-tolerated and considered safe. However, some individuals may experience minor side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, anorexia (loss of appetite), and rash. If a rash develops, discontinue the use of this medication immediately.
How should Rejunex Injection be administered?
Rejunex Injection can be administered either intravenously or intramuscularly. The typical dosage is 0.5 mg, given three times a week. After two months of treatment, individuals may receive maintenance therapy with 0.5 mg once every one to three months.
What precautions should I take when administering Rejunex Injection?
To avoid discomfort and potential complications, administer Rejunex Injection at different injection sites each time. If you experience significant pain during the injection or if blood flows back into the syringe, remove the needle and re-insert it at a new site.
