Frequently asked questions
What is Ucob 2500mcg Injection?
Ucob 2500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 plays an important role in your body by helping make red blood cells, supporting a healthy nervous system, and releasing energy from the food you consume.
Why can't I get sufficient vitamin B12 from my diet?
You obtain vitamin B12 primarily through consuming foods like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Vegetarians or vegans may struggle to meet their daily needs as vitamin B12 is not naturally found in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, and grains. Consequently, a deficiency of vitamin B12 might be observed more frequently in these individuals.
What happens if I have a vitamin B12 deficiency?
A lack of sufficient vitamin B12 can result in symptoms like fatigue and weakness. Additionally, you may experience constipation, decreased appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (an abnormal development of red blood cells) that can lead to problems with your balance and memory. Other potential symptoms include numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, and a sore mouth or tongue.
Is Ucob 2500mcg Injection safe?
Ucob 2500mcg Injection is generally well-tolerated. While rare side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, anorexia, and rash may occur in some individuals, if a rash develops, discontinue the medication immediately.
How should Ucob 2500mcg Injection be administered?
Ucob 2500mcg Injection can be administered either intravenously (directly into a vein) or intramuscularly (into a muscle).
