Medicort Injection
Description
Medicort powder for injection helps keep your body healthy and supports the function of your nerves, especially for people with diabetes who have nerve problems in their hands or feet. It can also improve blood vessel health and lower high levels of homocysteine in the blood, which can be linked to poor circulation and ulcers on the legs or feet.
It works by providing your body with active forms of essential vitamins that keep your nerves and blood healthy. Methyl folate helps your body make DNA and important brain chemicals. Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12) repairs and protects nerves and supports healthy blood cells. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) helps your body use proteins, make brain chemicals, and lower harmful levels of homocysteine that can damage nerves and blood vessels. Together, they improve nerve function, reduce nerve pain, and support overall nerve and blood health.
You should not take this medicine if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Some people may experience side effects like acne, skin reactions, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or loss of appetite. If you notice any unusual symptoms after taking it, tell your doctor right away.
This medicine can interact with certain other medicines. High doses of folic acid may reduce the effectiveness of some epilepsy medicines and increase seizure risk in some people. Some Parkinson’s medicines may not work as well with vitamin B6. Certain cancer medicines may become more toxic when combined with folate. Some antibiotics, diabetes medicines like metformin, and cholesterol-lowering drugs can lower vitamin B12 levels. Alcohol, smoking, and some arthritis or high-dose pain medicines can lower folate levels in the body.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, this medicine should only be taken if your doctor believes the benefits outweigh the risks. You should avoid driving or using machinery until you know how it affects you, as it may cause drowsiness or affect coordination. Store it below 25°C, away from sunlight, children, and pets, and do not freeze it. If you miss a dose or think you’ve had too much, your doctor or nurse will guide you on what to do.
