ISANERVE INJ

ISANERVE INJ is an injectable medication manufactured by ISAKURA HEALTHCARE DIV. It is primarily used to address conditions related to vitamin B12 deficiency and nerve health.

• Name: ISANERVE INJ
• Composition:
  • D-panthenol 50 mg
  • Methylcobalamin 1000 mcg
• Uses: ISANERVE INJ is prescribed for the prevention and treatment of low vitamin B12 levels in the body. It is particularly indicated for:
  • Anemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency.
  • Damage to the nerves.
  • Diabetic neuropathy.
  • Peripheral neuropathy. Methylcobalamin, a key component, is essential for the formation of healthy red blood cells and nerve cells, aiding in nerve function and the production of myelin, which protects nerve fibers.
• Dosage and Administration: ISANERVE INJ is typically administered as an injection by a healthcare professional. It can be injected directly into a vein (intravenously) or into a muscle (intramuscularly). The specific dosage and frequency will be determined by the doctor based on the patient's condition. It is crucial not to self-administer this injection.
• Side Effects: Common side effects may include:
  • Headache
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Loss of appetite
  • Skin rash
  • Hot flushes
  • Pain and swelling at the injection site More serious reactions requiring immediate medical attention include wheezing, chest tightness, fever, severe itching, bad cough, blue or gray skin color, seizures, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat. Swelling, warmth, or pain in the leg or arm should also be reported to a doctor.
• Precautions:
  • Inform your doctor if you have any allergies to drugs.
  • Certain medications like neomycin, aminosalicylic acid, cimetidine, and colchicine may decrease the absorption of Methylcobalamin. Always inform your doctor about all medicines, including herbal preparations, you are currently taking.
  • Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
  • ISANERVE INJ falls under Pregnancy Category A, meaning adequate and well-controlled human studies have not shown a risk to the fetus in the first trimester (and no evidence of risk in later trimesters).
• Storage: Store ISANERVE INJ in a cool, dry place away from the reach of children. Ensure the medicine is not used past its expiry date.

What is ISANERVE INJ used for?

ISANERVE INJ is used to prevent and treat low vitamin B12 levels. A lack of vitamin B12 can lead to anemia and nerve damage. It is also used in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy and peripheral neuropathy.

How does ISANERVE INJ work?

ISANERVE INJ contains Methylcobalamin (a form of Vitamin B12) and D-panthenol. Methylcobalamin is an essential nutrient that helps the body produce healthy red blood cells and nerve cells. It plays a role in nerve function maintenance and helps in the regeneration of damaged nerve cells. D-panthenol is converted in the body to pantothenic acid, a component of coenzyme A, which is essential for various metabolic functions.

What are the possible side effects of ISANERVE INJ?

Common side effects of ISANERVE INJ may include headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, skin rash, and hot flushes. Injection site pain and swelling, itching, muscle cramps, weakness, dizziness, and difficulty breathing have also been reported with methylcobalamin injections. If you experience signs of a very bad reaction such as wheezing, chest tightness, fever, severe itching, bad cough, blue or gray skin color, seizures, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, seek medical help immediately.

Is ISANERVE INJ safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

For methylcobalamin (a key component of ISANERVE INJ), adequate and well-controlled human studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus in the first trimester of pregnancy, and there is no evidence of risk in later trimesters (Pregnancy Category A). However, your doctor may advise oral supplements containing vitamin B12 and folic acid during pregnancy, and ISANERVE INJ will only be given if essential. Components of methylcobalamin pass into breast milk and are unlikely to harm a nursing infant when used in recommended doses. Always consult a doctor before using this injection while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Can ISANERVE INJ be taken with other medications?

Certain medications can decrease the absorption or action of methylcobalamin, a component of ISANERVE INJ. These include neomycin, aminosalicylic acid, cimetidine, colchicine, chloramphenicol, histamine-2 antagonists, and proton pump inhibitors (e.g., Pantoprazole). Oral contraceptives can also decrease the action of methylcobalamin. Always inform your doctor about all other drugs you are taking, including herbal preparations and supplements, to avoid potential interactions.

What precautions should be taken when using ISANERVE INJ?

Tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs. Inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions like kidney or liver problems, or if you have Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy. You should also inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

What happens if a dose of ISANERVE INJ is missed?

If you miss a dose of ISANERVE INJ, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your normal schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time or extra doses. Do not change the dose or stop the drug without consulting your doctor.

How should ISANERVE INJ be stored?

ISANERVE INJ should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from the reach of children. Protect it from moisture, sunlight, and heat. Medicines must not be used past their expiry date.
