Megaloblastic anemia due to Vitamin B12 deficiency
Pharmacology
Mecobalamin is the neurologically active form of vitamin B12, which is found in the body as a water-soluble vitamin. It's a cofactor in the enzyme methionine synthase, which helps methionine regenerate from homocysteine by transferring methyl groups. It boosts erythrocyte production in anemia by boosting nucleic acid synthesis in the bone marrow as well as erythrocyte maturation and division.
Dosage & Administration
Tablet: The usual adult dosage is 500 mcg tablet three times daily. The dosage should be adjusted according to the age of patient and the severity of symptoms.
Injection:
Peripheral neuropathies: The usual adult dosage is 500 mcg Mecobalamin administered intramuscularly or intravenously three times a week.The dosage should be adjusted according to the age of patient and the severity of symptoms.
Megaloblastic anemia: The usual adult dosage is 500 mcg Mecobalamin administered intramuscularly or intravenously three times a week. After about two months of administration, dosage should be changed to one ampoule equivalent to 500 mcg of Mecobalamin every one to three months as maintenance therapy.
