VITAMIN B12 PLUS folic acid Hevert a 2 ml ampoules

Active ingredients: Cyanocobalamin 3 mg / folic acid 20 mg Areas of



VITAMIN B12, PLUS, folic acid, Cyanocobalamin, ampoules application:


For the therapy and prophylaxis of isolated and combined folic acid and vitamin B12 deficiencies, which can manifest themselves clinically in megaloblastic anemia and/or neurological or psychiatric disorders.

Highly dosed with 3000 µg vitamin B12

To treat a vitamin B12 deficiency that cannot be corrected with nutrition.

A lack of vitamin B12 can manifest itself through general symptoms such as:


- fatigue
- dizziness

and specific symptoms such as:

- pale skin
- burning tongue

Why do we need vitamin B12?

  • for the formation of red blood cells
  • for the formation of white blood cells
  • for the formation of blood platelets
  • for breaking down the harmful amino acid homocysteine ​​(together with vitamin B6 and folic acid)

Vitamin B12 deficits are common in older people and vegans

Vitamin B12 deficits develop with increasing age when the gastric mucosa recedes (atrophic gastritis). As a result, an auxiliary substance for the absorption of vitamin B12 is not formed enough. A significantly increased intake is necessary to compensate for this deficit. A special form of nutrition, the vegan one, in which not only meat but also all animal foods and thus vitamin B12-containing foods such as eggs, cheese or yoghurt are avoided, leads to a vitamin B12 deficiency if this vitamin is not supplemented.

For medicines: Read the leaflet on the risks and side effects and ask your doctor or pharmacist.

For the therapy and prophylaxis of folic acid and vitamin B12 deficiencies.

Dosage VITAMIN B12, PLUS, folic acid, Cyanocobalamin, ampoules:
Unless otherwise prescribed, for initial treatment, inject 20 mg folic acid and 1500 µg vitamin B12 intramuscularly or intravenously twice a week.

After the tissue stores have been replenished, in the case of intestinal absorption disorders, 20 mg folic acid and 1500 µg vitamin B12 should be administered intramuscularly at intervals of 4 weeks.

Folic acid should be taken orally every day between the injections (eg "Folic Acid Hevert" tablets).

Contraindications:
Intolerance to any of the components. "Vitamin B12-Hevert plus Folsäure-Hevert" must not be used in the case of megaloblastic anemia as a result of an isolated vitamin B12 deficiency (e.g. due to a lack of intrinsic factor) or an isolated folic acid deficiency. "Vitamin B12 forte-Hevert injekt" or "Vitamin B12 Depot Hevert" are available for the treatment of isolated vitamin B12 deficiency. "Folic acid forte-Hevert" and "Folic acid Hevert 5 mg" injection solutions as well as "Folic acid Hevert" tablets are available for the treatment of an isolated folic acid deficiency.

There are no known risks for doses of up to 5 mg folic acid per day during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Since the safety of a higher dosage cannot be guaranteed, no more than 5 mg folic acid per day may be administered during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Folic acid supplementation during pregnancy can reduce the risk of neural tube defects in the unborn child.

VITAMIN B12, PLUS, folic acid, Cyanocobalamin, ampoules Side effects:
Vitamin B12: There have been isolated reports of acne, eczematous or urticarial drug reactions, and anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reactions.

Folic acid: In high doses, rarely gastrointestinal disorders, sleep disorders, excitement, depression. An increase in the frequency and severity of seizures has been observed in epileptics after folic acid substitution.

Interactions:
None known.

Since folic acid is sensitive to heat, it is often destroyed if the food is prepared incorrectly, which means that the organism is not supplied with enough folic acid. But increased alcohol intake also leads to folic acid deficiency symptoms. Therapy with some allopathic anticonvulsants and with hormones such as ovulation inhibitors can also lead to a folic acid deficiency. As a result of diseases of the small intestine, after gastric surgery and in the case of chronic diarrhea, folic acid is not absorbed enough and the organism is undersupplied with folic acid (malabsorption syndrome). During pregnancy and particularly in the case of hyperthyroidism, an increased need for folic acid can be observed.

Since folic acid is a co-enzyme in nucleic acid metabolism, the blood-forming cells are affected first in the event of a folic acid deficiency. Hyperchromic macrocytic anemia occurs. But the formation of antibodies is also affected. The folic acid deficiency syndrome usually manifests itself in neurological and psychiatric disorders (organic brain syndrome, disturbance of the pyramidal tracts, neuropathies) with general weakness, paresthesia and tingling, as well as pale complexion, painful, swollen and shiny tongue. Other symptoms of folic acid deficiency are mucosal changes in the oral cavity and gastrointestinal disorders that lead to diarrhea.

In the case of chronic liver disease, vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency can often be determined, which explains anemia, for example in cirrhosis of the liver. The high-dose therapy with "Vitamin B12-Hevert plus folic acid Hevert" is the drug of choice for liver diseases with accompanying megaloblastenemia, especially if it is caused by alcohol abuse.

The side effects of pernicious anemia with vitamin B12 deficiency are neurological diseases that can be accompanied by paralysis (funicular myelosis). The nucleic acid metabolism, which is the basis of protein build-up, especially in the liver, requires vitamin B12. "Vitamin B12-Hevert plus folic acid Hevert" solution for injection quickly and permanently eliminates the haematological and neurological symptoms.

In the treatment of acute and chronic liver diseases and macrocytic anemia, eg megaloblastic anemia, in pregnant women, children and alcoholics and in dialysis treatment, the simultaneous administration of "Vitamin B12 Hevert plus Folic Acid Hevert" offers better therapeutic success.
