MEBALA-IR 1500MCG TABLET

Introduction:

Mebala-IR 1500mcg Tablet contains methylcobalamin. It is used to treat pernicious anemia (lack of healthy red blood cells, which makes you feel tired and weak) caused by vitamin B12 deficiency. It is also used to reduce the symptoms associated with peripheral neuropathies (pain and weakness in hands and feet due to damaged nerves) and diabetic polyneuropathy (a painful nervous disorder caused due to diabetes). 

Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that helps the body in energy production and metabolism of fat, carbohydrates, and protein in food. Without enough methylcobalamin, myelin sheath (protect and cover nerve fibers) does not form properly, due to which nerve fibers suffer, and people experience irreversible nerve damage. Talk to your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or breastfeeding before taking Mebala-IR 1500mcg Tablet.
