B 29 Injection 1 ML is administered via an intramuscular route.

B 29 Injection 1 ML contains Methylcobalamin (0.5 mg). Here's how it works in your body:

• Methionine Synthase Activation: Methylcobalamin supports an enzyme called methionine synthase, which changes homocysteine into methionine. This process is crucial for making proteins and DNA and for changing a nutrient called folate into a form your body can use.

• Methylmalonyl CoA Mutase Activation: In another reaction, methylcobalamin activates an enzyme known as methylmalonyl CoA mutase, which converts methylmalonyl CoA to succinyl CoA. This reaction helps your body metabolise fats and proteins.

By aiding these reactions, methylcobalamin corrects problems caused by vitamin B12 deficiency, such as megaloblastic anemia and neuropathy. It also supports the making of neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers in your brain, and the myelin sheath of nerves, which is a protective layer that helps your nerves work properly.

• Keep B 29 Injection 1 ML at room temperature, ideally between 15°C and 30°C.

• Protect it from light exposure.

• Do not freeze the injection.

• Store in a place out of reach of children.

• If you're diagnosed with pernicious anaemia or vitamin B12 deficiency, you should include B12-rich foods in your diet, such as fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy products.

• If you're experiencing neuropathy symptoms, regular gentle exercises like walking or swimming can help manage those symptoms by improving blood flow to your nerves.
