Description
Mabil Injection contains Mecobalamin (Vitamin B12), an essential water-soluble vitamin that plays a vital role in nerve function, red blood cell formation, and DNA synthesis. It is widely used to treat Vitamin B12 deficiency, megaloblastic anemia, and peripheral neuropathy.
This injectable form ensures faster absorption and effective treatment, especially in patients who cannot absorb Vitamin B12 adequately through oral supplements.
