FAQs

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 normalize 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 is caused when you don't have enough Methylcobalamin or Mecobalamin levels in your body. You can include natural Vitamin B12 sources like eggs, beef, liver, chicken, trout, salmon, tuna fish, clams, fortified breakfast cereal, low-fat milk, yoghurt, and cheese in your diet for treating this deficiency. If you still have low levels of B12, please consult your doctor about its supplements.

Pyridoxine hydrochloride in this medicinemay interfere with laboratory tests like 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.
