Frequently asked questions
What is Scocob 1500mcg Injection?
Scocob 1500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that helps your body produce red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. It's also important for using vitamin B11 (folate) to release energy from food.
Why can't I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
You can obtain vitamin B12 from foods like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. People who follow vegetarian or vegan diets may lack vitamin B12 as it is not naturally found in fruits, vegetables, and grains. Therefore, vitamin B12 deficiency can occur in these individuals.
What happens if I have vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency may cause fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (when red blood cells become larger than normal). It can also lead to nerve problems such as numbness or tingling in the hands and feet. Other symptoms include balance issues, depression, confusion, dementia, memory problems, and soreness of the mouth or tongue.
