Description

Cyanocobal 1000 mcg MDV 25x1mL is an injectable form of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), commonly used to treat vitamin B12 deficiency. It comes in a multidose vial (MDV) containing 25 single-dose 1 mL vials, each providing 1000 mcg of cyanocobalamin per dose. This formulation is particularly useful for individuals with malabsorption conditions, pernicious anemia, or other disorders that prevent adequate absorption of vitamin B12 from the gastrointestinal tract.

Cyanocobalamin plays a crucial role in red blood cell production, neurological function, and DNA synthesis. It is essential for maintaining proper nerve function and the synthesis of myelin, the protective covering around nerves. Its deficiency can lead to neurological symptoms, cognitive impairments, and anemia. Cyanocobalamin supplementation is typically administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously.

Side effects of Cyanocobal 1000 mcg MDV may include pain at the injection site, headaches, dizziness, or gastrointestinal discomfort. In rare cases, allergic reactions or anaphylaxis may occur. It is essential for patients to inform healthcare providers of any pre-existing conditions, particularly kidney disease or sensitivity to cobalt, to avoid complications.
