Mecobalamin
Mecobalamin, a form of vitamin B12, belongs to the class of water-soluble vitamins. It plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, particularly in the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and myelin. Mecobalamin acts as a coenzyme in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, supporting neurological function and hematopoiesis.
Mecobalamin is indicated for the treatment and prevention of vitamin B12 deficiency, which may arise due to various factors, including dietary insufficiency, malabsorption syndromes, and certain medical conditions. It is also used to manage pernicious anemia and neurological disorders associated with vitamin B12 deficiency.
- Adults: The typical dosage for oral supplementation is 500 to 1000 mcg daily, as directed by a healthcare professional. Parenteral administration may be required in cases of severe deficiency.
- Pediatric Patients: Dosage is determined based on weight and the specific condition being treated.
Common adverse reactions to Mecobalamin supplementation may include mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, or abdominal pain. Allergic reactions are rare but can occur.
- Hypersensitivity: Individuals with known hypersensitivity to Mecobalamin or any of its components should avoid its use.
- Hypokalemia: Mecobalamin should be used with caution in patients with severe potassium deficiency.
Contraindication
Mecobalamin is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to cobalt, as cobalt is an essential component of vitamin B12.
