Neo-B12 Injection 1000mcg/1mL – Box of 3
Neo-B12 Injection contains mecobalamin (Vitamin B12) in a concentrated, injectable form, designed for the treatment and prevention of Vitamin B12 deficiency. Each 1mL ampoule delivers 1000 micrograms of mecobalamin, an active coenzyme form of Vitamin B12 that is readily utilised by the body. Vitamin B12 plays a vital role in red blood cell production, nervous system health, and the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
This medication is typically prescribed for individuals with B12 deficiency due to dietary insufficiency, malabsorption syndromes, pernicious anaemia, or other medical conditions that affect nutrient uptake. Supplied in a box of three single-use ampoules, Neo-B12 is administered via intramuscular injection under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
