Formylin Injection

Formylin Injection is a medicine used to treat vitamin B12 deficiency in the body. Vitamin B12 is important for growth, cell reproduction, blood formation, and protein and tissue synthesis. It also helps to treat anemia, fatigue, and numbness or tingling in hands and feet.

Deficiency of vitamin B12 could be due to poor dietary intake, pernicious anemia (as it leads to poor absorption of vitamin B12) and certain types of stomach related surgeries, such as weight loss surgery or any surgery of the intestines). Besides these, there are some medications which can also lead to its deficiency and some disorders of the immune system (those that cause a decrease in the immunity of our body), such as Lupus or Graves’ disease. Consult your doctor if you have or ever had any of these issues.

Formylin Injection is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Formylin Injection too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.

Formylin Injection should be taken in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. It is advised to take Formylin Injection with food preferably at the same time each day to avoid the chances of missing a dose.

If you forget a dose of Formylin Injection, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next scheduled dose in the prescribed time. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.

Formylin Injection is safe if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Take it exactly as directed and do not skip any dose. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully and let your doctor know if any of the side effects bother you.
