NURODAY TABLET (10 TAB) FAQs

What is Nuroday Tablet used for?

Nuroday Tablet is primarily used to treat vitamin B12 deficiency and peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage in the hands and feet). It also helps prevent or treat megaloblastic anemia, a type of anemia where red blood cells are larger than normal due to a lack of vitamin B12. Common symptoms it addresses include tiredness, shortness of breath, numbness, poor balance, and memory problems associated with B12 deficiency.

How does Nuroday Tablet work?

Nuroday Tablet contains Methylcobalamin, an active form of vitamin B12. It works by regulating various bodily functions such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. It helps produce healthy red blood cells, repair nerve cells, restore nucleic acid in nerve cells, and supports essential functions like DNA production and cell growth. Methylcobalamin also aids in the synthesis of myelin, a protective sheath around nerve fibers, which helps relieve neuropathic discomfort.

What is the usual dosage of Nuroday Tablet?

The correct dose of Nuroday Tablet is determined by your doctor based on your specific condition, age, and body weight. For adults with Vitamin B12 deficiency, a usual recommended dosage is 500 mcg (micrograms) of Methylcobalamin per day, though higher dosages are generally considered safe as the body eliminates excess through urine. It should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily, with or without food. If it's a sublingual tablet, it should be placed under the tongue until it dissolves.

What are the possible side effects of Nuroday Tablet?

Some people may experience mild side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, loss of appetite, indigestion, back pain, muscle pain, or generalized weakness. These side effects usually resolve on their own. If they persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult your doctor. Severe allergic reactions are rare.

Is Nuroday Tablet safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Nuroday Tablet is generally not recommended for use in pregnant and breastfeeding women, as it may cause undesirable effects on the fetus and breastfed baby. It should only be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding if specifically advised by your doctor, after discussing the potential risks and benefits.

Can Nuroday Tablet be taken with other medications?

It is crucial to inform your doctor about all other medicines, supplements, or herbal products you are taking before starting Nuroday Tablet. Some medications can interfere with vitamin B12 absorption or interact with Nuroday Tablet, including neomycin, amino salicylic acid, histamine H2-antagonists (like ranitidine, famotidine), colchicine, oral contraceptives, chloramphenicol, and omeprazole. Antacids may also delay its absorption.

What precautions should be taken with Nuroday Tablet?

Do not take Nuroday Tablet if you are allergic to Methylcobalamin or any of its ingredients. It is not recommended for individuals with Leber's disease (an inherited form of vision loss). Inform your doctor if you have kidney disease, liver problems, or are in an occupation that involves handling mercury. Avoid or limit alcohol consumption as it can interfere with vitamin B12 absorption and potentially worsen nerve symptoms. Use with caution if taking other vitamin or mineral supplements to prevent excess intake.

What happens if a dose is missed?

If you miss a dose of Nuroday Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and take the next dose at the regular time. Do not double the dose to compensate for a missed one, as this may increase the risk of side effects.

How should Nuroday Tablet be stored?

Nuroday Tablet should be stored in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, and out of the sight and reach of children. It is generally recommended to store it at temperatures between 10ºC to 25ºC or below 30ºC.
