Product Overview
Cynamin Vitamin B12 Injection is a high-strength sterile solution of Cyanocobalamin, containing 1000mcg per 2ml ampoule. This parenteral preparation is primarily used in Nigeria to treat and prevent vitamin B12 deficiency, particularly in patients with pernicious anemia or those who cannot absorb the vitamin through the digestive tract.
In Nigeria, Cynamin is a trusted name for restoring B12 levels and supporting the nervous system.
Key Benefits and Uses
- Treatment of Pernicious Anemia: Essential for patients whose bodies lack the "intrinsic factor" needed for B12 absorption.
- Nerve Health support: Often recommended for managing peripheral neuropathy and symptoms like "body pepper" (tingling sensations) or numbness in the hands and feet.
- Energy and Vitality: Helps in the formation of healthy red blood cells, reducing fatigue and weakness associated with megaloblastic anemia.
- Neurological Support: Supports overall brain function and nerve fiber maintenance.
Administration and Dosage
Cynamin must be administered as an Intramuscular (IM) or Deep Subcutaneous (SC) injection by a qualified healthcare professional. The dosage and frequency depend on the severity of the deficiency and the patient's medical condition.
Always follow the prescription provided by your doctor or consult a GoMed pharmacist for guidance on your treatment plan.
Storage Instructions
Store the ampoules below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Vitamin B12 is highly light-sensitive; always keep the ampoules in the original carton to protect them from light.
