Frequently asked questions
What is Vellcobal-Forte Injection?
Vellcobal-Forte Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient required by the body to produce red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. It also plays a role in releasing energy 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. For individuals who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, obtaining vitamin B12 may be challenging as it is not naturally found in plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains. Therefore, vegetarians and vegans may experience a deficiency of vitamin B12.
What happens if I have vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (an abnormal increase in red blood cells). It may also affect the nervous system, causing numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. Other potential symptoms include problems with balance, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and soreness of the mouth or tongue.
Is Vellcobal-Forte Injection safe?
Vellcobal-Forte Injection is generally well-tolerated and considered safe. However, rare side effects may occur, such as nausea, diarrhea, anorexia, and rashes. Discontinue using this medication if a rash develops.
How should Vellcobal-Forte Injection be given?
Vellcobal-Forte Injection can be administered intravenously or intramuscularly. The standard dose is 0.5 mg of the injection, typically given three times a week. After two months, one 0.5 mg injection may be administered every one to three months as part of maintenance therapy.
What precautions need to be taken while administering Vellcobal-Forte Injection?
Avoid injecting the medication at the same site each time. If you experience intense pain during injection or if blood flows back into the syringe, remove the needle and re-insert at a different location.
