Overview

Uses & benefits

How it works

Methylcobalamin is an active form of vitamin B12. It supports the formation and maintenance of myelin, the protective covering around nerves, and participates in DNA synthesis and red blood cell production. By correcting vitamin B12 deficiency, it helps support normal nerve function and blood cell formation.

Side effects

Methylcobalamin is generally well tolerated, but some people may experience:

• Nausea or vomiting.

• Diarrhoea or stomach discomfort.

• Headache.

• Skin rash or itching.

• Rarely, a serious allergic reaction.

Seek urgent medical attention if you develop facial or throat swelling, breathing difficulty, or a severe allergic reaction.

How to use

Safety advice

• Allergy: Do not take it if you are allergic to methylcobalamin or any ingredient in the product.

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before use.

• Kidney or liver disease: Inform your doctor about any existing condition.

• Leber’s disease: Consult your doctor before use if you have this hereditary optic nerve disorder.

• Other medicines: Inform your doctor if you take metformin, acid-reducing medicines such as omeprazole, colchicine, or other vitamin supplements.

• Alcohol: Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, as it may contribute to poor vitamin B12 absorption and nerve damage.

• Driving: It generally does not impair driving, but avoid driving if you experience dizziness or other symptoms.

• Medical monitoring: Your doctor may recommend blood tests to assess vitamin B12 levels and your response to treatment.
