About Mecoprax Injection

Mecoprax Injection is used to treat and prevent nutritional deficiencies. Nutrient deficiency can lead to many health problems, such as a weakened immune system, indigestion, skin problems, heart problems, eye problems, and defective bone growth.

Mecoprax Injection contains Mecobalamin, Nicotinamide, and Pyridoxine. Mecobalamin regulates body functions like cell growth, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Nicotinamide is a form of vitamin B that provides vital nutrients. Pyridoxine is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters.

Take Mecoprax Injection as suggested by your doctor. In some cases, Mecoprax Injection may cause numbness of the hands or feet, upset stomach, diarrhoea, loss of hunger, and dizziness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you are using any other medicines before starting Mecoprax Injection. If you are known to be allergic to any of the components, please inform your doctor.

FAQs

Mecoprax Injection belongs to the class of multivitamins primarily used to treat and prevent nutritional deficiencies, including Vitamin B12 deficiency and Vitamin B6 deficiency.
Mecoprax Injection is a vitamin supplement and consists of Pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12), and Nicotinamide. When you lack these vitamins, which cannot be recovered even with the food sources, Mecoprax Injection helps normalise these deficient levels.
Vitamin B6 deficiency occurs when your body lacks adequate Pyridoxine levels. You can overcome this deficiency by including food sources rich in Pyridoxine, like milk, eggs, beef, pork, chicken or turkey, fish, peanuts, soya beans, wheat germ, oats, and bananas. If your Vitamin B6 levels are still low, your doctor may prescribe supplements.
Vitamin B12 deficiency occurs when you don't have enough Methylcobalamin or Mecobalamin levels in your body. You can include natural Vitamin B12 sources such as eggs, beef, liver, chicken, trout, salmon, tuna fish, clams, fortified breakfast cereal, low-fat milk, yoghurt, and cheese in your diet to treat this deficiency. If you still have low levels of B12, please consult your doctor about B12 supplements.
Pyridoxine hydrochloride in this medicine may interfere with laboratory tests, such as urine tests for urobilinogen. Please make sure your doctor and the laboratory staff know that you take Mecoprax Injection before undergoing any blood and urine examinations.
Mecoprax Injection is administered by a healthcare professional in a medical setting, usually at a hospital. So, it is not intended for self-administration.
The possible side effects of the Mecoprax Injection may include stomach upset, loss of hunger, dizziness, constipation, and pain at the injection site. However, these symptoms vanish as your body adjusts to the medication. If these symptoms become worse, please consult a doctor for relief.
While taking Mecoprax Injection, you can proceed with other medications if it is advised by the doctor. Certain medications, such as antibiotics, anticonvulsants, chemotherapy drugs, proton pump inhibitors, and some antidiabetic drugs, can interact with Mecoprax Injection and lead to negative complications. To avoid this, inform about all ongoing medications to your doctor. The doctor can provide guidance on potential interactions and adjust your treatment accordingly.
Mecoprax Injection should only be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding if needed and under a doctor's guidance. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before taking Mecoprax Injection. Your doctor will discuss the benefits and risks, helping you make an informed decision for you and your baby.
Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight. Keep out of sight and reach of children.
