About Rej Injection

Rej Injection belongs to the Vitamins class, primarily used to treat peripheral neuropathies and megaloblastic anaemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 is a vital dietary nutrient, and deficiency of vitamin B12 can lead to peripheral neuropathy, megaloblastic anaemia, and many other serious conditions.

Rej Injection contains Mecobalamin, a form of vitamin B12 that helps protect the nerves from damage and also helps to promote blood cell production. It regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis.

Rej Injection is a prescription-only medication. It will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. You may experience pain, itching, swelling or redness around the injection site, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you have signs of an allergic reaction, such as swelling of the face, lips, or tongue or breathing problems.

To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Rej Injection for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Please do not stop taking Rej Injection without consulting your doctor. Do not take Rej Injection if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed by the doctor. Rej Injection should be given to children as advised by your doctor. Keep your doctor informed about your present and past medical history and ongoing medicines to rule out any side effects.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Vitamins play an important role in our body. If your body cannot absorb enough vitamins and minerals, that can lead to neurological problems, bone abnormalities, and blood clotting problems. Symptoms like brittle hair and nails, mouth ulcers or cracks in the corners of the mouth, bleeding gums, poor night vision and white growths on the eyes, and neuropathic pain are associated with vitamin deficiency.

Peripheral neuropathy: The deficiency of vitamin B-12 is one cause of peripheral neuropathy. If it is left untreated, it can lead to permanent nerve damage. Peripheral neuropathy is when the nerves that transport messages to and from the brain and spinal cord and to the rest of the body might be damaged or diseased.

Megaloblastic anaemia: Megaloblastic anaemia is a blood disorder in which the number of red blood cells is lower than the normal level. Red blood cells help in transporting oxygen throughout the body. Tissues and organs will not get enough oxygen when your body lacks red blood cells. In megaloblastic anaemia, the red blood cells will be larger than normal, so they are not produced properly. Also, they may not be able to exit the bone marrow into the bloodstream. Megaloblastic anaemia is also known as vitamin B-12 or folate deficiency anaemia.
