About Mecofol 500 MCG Injection 1 ml
Mecofol 500 MCG Injection 1 ml is used to treat peripheral neuropathies and megaloblastic anaemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 is a vital dietary nutrient, and a deficiency of vitamin B12 can lead to peripheral neuropathy, megaloblastic anaemia, and many other serious conditions.
