METHYCOBALAMIN 2500 IU INJ VSMETHYCOBALAMIN WITH PYRIDOXIN, NICOTINAMIDE AND FOLIC ACID COMBINATION INJ .

  1. Methylcobalamin 2500 µg Injection
    A high-dose form of vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), typically given intramuscularly or subcutaneously at 2500 µg (2.5 mg).
    Indications include:
  • Vitamin B12 deficiency (including pernicious anemia and megaloblastic anemia)
  • Peripheral neuropathy, such as diabetic or alcoholic neuropathy.
  • General neurological support: fatigue, memory issues, mood, and nerve function, especially where low B12 is a factor .
  1. Combination Injections: Methylcobalamin + Nicotinamide (B3) + Pyridoxine (B6) & FOLIC ACID .
    A multi-B-vitamin injection containing:
  • Methylcobalamin – for B12
  • Nicotinamide – for B3
  • Pyridoxine – for B6
  • Often folic acid (B9) .
    Indications include:
  • Prevention or correction of combined B vitamin deficiencies—B12, B3, B6 (and B9) .
  • Peripheral neuropathies, especially diabetic or alcoholic neuropathy .
  • Broader neurological benefits: cognitive disorders (e.g., dementia), cardiovascular health (homocysteine reduction), seizures, skin issues .
  • With folic acid: anemias (megaloblastic) and nerve disorders .

Clinical Scenarios

  • Isolated B12 deficiency / megaloblastic anemia / pernicious anemia → Use high-dose methylcobalamin injection.
  • Diabetic neuropathy with suspected multiple B-vitamin deficiencies → Combo injection often preferred.
  • Alcohol-related neuropathy, skin problems, cognitive decline, elevated homocysteine → Combo formulation offers broader benefit.
  • Routine B12 shot in healthy individuals → Mono methylcobalamin injection suffices.

Highlights:

  • Use Methylcobalamin 2500 µg when treating only B12-related issues like anemia, fatigue, nerve health.
  • Choose Combo B12+B3+B6 injections when there’s multi-vitamin deficiency, complex neuropathy, metabolic concerns, or broader systemic needs.

Note: Both require medical supervision. Dosage and frequency depend on specific conditions and patient profile. Discuss with a healthcare provider for tailored therapy.
