Frequently asked questions
What is Ulticobal 500mcg Injection?
Ulticobal 500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient necessary for the body to produce red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. It plays a role in energy release from food and using vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can’t I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
You can obtain vitamin B12 from sources such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products.

Therefore, deficiency of vitamin B12 is commonly seen in vegetarians or vegans.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (an abnormal increase in red blood cells).
