How Mecoprax Injection works
Prolonged B12 deficiency can lead to nerve degeneration and irreversible neurological damage. Mecoprax Injection is a multivitamin product containing methylcobalamin, nicotinamide, and pyridoxine hydrochloride. Methylcobalamin corrects vitamin B12 deficiency, thereby helping in treating certain anemias and nerve problems. Nicotinamide (vitamin B3) exhibits neuroprotective properties, reduces cholesterol levels and other fatty substances in the blood, and increases good cholesterol. Pyridoxine hydrochloride treats and prevents the deficiency of vitamin B6 and improves the functioning of the nervous and immune systems.

FAQs
What is Mecoprax Injection used for?
Mecoprax Injection is used to prevent and treat deficiencies of vitamins B3, B6, and B12. It is also used as a supportive treatment for peripheral neuropathy. This product helps relieve symptoms such as tingling, numbness, and burning sensations in the hands or feet caused by vitamin B deficiency.
How does Mecoprax Injection help with nerve pain or diabetic neuropathy?
Mecoprax Injection works together to protect and repair damaged nerves. Mecoprax Injection contains methylcobalamin that helps regenerate the myelin sheath (nerve covering), pyridoxine (B6) that aids in creating neurotransmitters that regulate pain, and nicotinamide (B3) that provides neuroprotective benefits.
Can Mecoprax Injection help improve my energy levels?
All three B vitamins in Mecoprax Injection are essential for energy metabolism. They help the body convert food into usable energy, which can help reduce feelings of fatigue and weakness related to vitamin deficiencies.
Can Mecoprax Injection help lower the risk of heart problems?
Mecoprax Injection can help reduce levels of an amino acid called homocysteine in the blood. High levels of homocysteine are linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, so managing it is beneficial for heart health.
How long will it take to feel the benefits of Mecoprax Injection?
While you may notice an improvement in energy levels within a few weeks of using Mecoprax Injection, the benefits for nerve pain and the regeneration of nerve cells are more gradual. It may take several weeks to a few months of consistent daily oral use to experience relief from neuropathic symptoms.
What is the difference between Mecoprax Injection and a general B-complex vitamin?
Mecoprax Injection provides higher, therapeutic doses of three specific B vitamins (B12, B3, and B6) that are targeted for nerve health and deficiency-related conditions. A general B-complex usually contains a broader range of B vitamins, but often at lower, maintenance-level doses.
