Frequently asked questions
What is Synovit 2500mcg Injection?
Synovit 2500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 plays a vital role in the body by helping create red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. It's also essential for releasing energy from the food we consume and using vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why might I struggle to get enough vitamin B12 through my diet?
Many people can obtain Vitamin B12 from sources like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. However, those who are vegetarian or vegan may face challenges getting enough vitamin B12 as it is not naturally found in fruits, vegetables, and grains. Therefore, a deficiency in vitamin B12 is often observed in vegetarians or vegans.
What happens if I have a vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to various symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (larger than normal red blood cells).
