Frequently asked questions
What is Zethyl 1500mcg Injection?
Zethyl 1500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that helps your body create red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. It also plays a role in releasing energy from food and using vitamin B11 (folate).
Why might I not get enough vitamin B12 from my diet?
You can obtain vitamin B12 from sources like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. However, vegetarians or vegans who do not consume animal-based foods may be at risk of deficiency.

What are the possible consequences of vitamin B12 deficiency?
Deficiency can cause tiredness, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (an abnormal increase in red blood cells).

Other potential symptoms include problems with balance, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, dry mouth, or tongue soreness.
