Naso B12 Nasal Spray 2.3 ml

Your doctor may recommend this medicine to help manage the following conditions:

• Vitamin B12 deficiency: It helps restore and maintain healthy vitamin B12 levels in individuals who cannot absorb sufficient amounts of this nutrient from their normal diet.
• Pernicious anaemia: This medicine helps your body produce healthy red blood cells, preventing the fatigue and weakness caused by this specific type of anaemia.
• Neurological support: It helps maintain the protective sheath around your nerves, preventing nerve damage and tingling sensations associated with low vitamin B12 levels.

When taken consistently as directed, this medicine may provide the following physiological benefits:

• Maintain vitamin B12 levels: It helps maintain healthy vitamin B12 levels, especially in people who have difficulty absorbing vitamin B12 through the stomach or intestines.
• Bypasses the digestive system: It delivers vitamin B12 through the nasal passages, making it suitable for people with certain digestive disorders or previous stomach surgery.
• Reduces tiredness: It may help reduce tiredness and weakness caused by vitamin B12 deficiency.
• Supports red blood cell production: It helps your body produce healthy red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body.
• Supports nerve health: It helps maintain healthy nerve function and may reduce symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or a 'pins and needles' sensation caused by vitamin B12 deficiency.

• Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safe and effective use.
• Insert the tip of the bottle into a nostril while closing the other nostril and spray the medication towards the back of your nose. Keep your head straight and breathe gently. Repeat the same process for another nostril if required.
• Wipe the nasal applicator with clean tissue and replace the cap after every use.

• Eat B12-rich foods: Incorporate dairy products, eggs, fish, poultry, and fortified cereals into your daily diet if your dietary choices allow.
• Limit alcohol intake: Avoid drinking alcohol excessively, as it can damage your stomach lining and interfere with your body's ability to absorb and utilise vitamin B12.
• Quit smoking: Avoid smoking and tobacco products, as nicotine and other chemicals in smoke can lower your body's vitamin levels and reduce the effectiveness of your treatment.

• Check before use: Ensure the nasal spray device is not damaged or expired before each use.
• Do not share: Do not share your nasal spray with anyone, as this can spread germs and increase the risk of infection.
• Avoid other nasal medicines: Avoid using nasal decongestant sprays or other nasal medicines within 2 to 4 hours before or after using this spray, as they may reduce vitamin absorption.
• Tell your doctor: If you have a cold, severe nasal allergies, or a sinus infection, consult your doctor before using this medicine, as nasal congestion may reduce its effectiveness.
• Attend regular check-ups: Have regular blood tests as advised by your doctor to monitor your vitamin B12 levels and check that the treatment is working properly.
• Seek medical advice immediately: Contact your doctor if you develop signs of a severe allergic reaction, your symptoms worsen or do not improve, or you experience persistent or severe nasal problems.
