Frequently asked questions
What is Vurolam 1500mcg Injection?
Vurolam 1500mcg Injection is a form of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient necessary for red blood cell production and maintaining a healthy nervous system. It also plays a role in releasing energy from food and using vitamin B11 (folic acid). Vitamin B12 deficiency may result in symptoms like fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (an abnormal condition leading to larger-than-normal red blood cells).
Why can’t I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
Vitamin B12 is typically found in animal products like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. However, vegetarians and vegans may not be able to obtain adequate levels of vitamin B12 from their diets because it's not naturally present in plant-based foods. Therefore, they should prioritize supplements or fortified foods that offer additional vitamin B12.
What happens if I have vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to a variety of symptoms including fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia.
