Frequently asked questions
What is Ziamin 1500mcg Injection?
Ziamin 1500mcg Injection contains vitamin B12, an essential nutrient necessary for producing red blood cells and maintaining 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 may not be getting enough vitamin B12 from your diet if you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, as it is not naturally present in many plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains. However, eating meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products can help ensure adequate intake of this essential nutrient.
What happens if I have a vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to symptoms like fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (a condition where red blood cells are larger than normal). Symptoms may also include numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, balance problems, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and sore mouth or tongue.
