Methylcobalamine Injection Uses - What is Nurokind Used For?
Nurokind injections, manufactured by Mankind Pharma, contain Methylcobalamine which is useful in the treatment of Vitamin B12 deficiency in patients. Vitamin B12 is vital for normal growth conditions, blood cells, synthesis of all epithelial cells and preservation of myelin sheath all through the nervous system. Vitamin B12 deficiency usually occurs due to the defect in the absorption of Vitamin B12 in certain health conditions such as under-nourishment, stomach/intestinal problems, infection, and cancer.
Methylcobalamine (Vitamin B12) injections are typically administered as intramuscular/subcutaneous therapy in patients suffering from Addisonian (pernicious) anemia, gastrointestinal pathology, dysfunction, surgery, gluten enteropathy or sprue, small bowel bacteria overgrowth, total or partial gastrectomy.
Vitamin B12 injections are also used in medical conditions such as fish tapeworm infestation, cancerous growth in pancreas or bowel, and folic acid deficiency. Vitamin B12 shots (Nurokind 500 mcg) are administered for the treatment of methylmalonic aciduria (an inherited disease in which the body cannot break down protein) and is sometimes administered in unborn fetus to prevent methylmalonic aciduria after birth.
Treatment with Vitamin B12 injections can also be appropriately used for the Vitamin B12 absorption test, known as the Schilling test, which examines how well a body absorbs vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 injections are administered right into the bloodstream and can be used to give Vitamin B12 to people who cannot absorb Vitamin B12 through the intestine.

Once the hematological values come back to normal, pernicious anemia patients will have to take 100 mcg Vitamin B12 shots every month for the rest of their lives.
The flushing dose required in Schillings test is 100 mcg.
Nurokind Mechanism of Action – How Does Methylcobalamine Work?
Vitamin B12 is supplied naturally in the average diet. About 5 to 15 mcg/day of vitamin B12 is available for absorption post digestion in the intestine in a protein-bound form. Vitamin B12 is essential for normal growth, cell division, formation of new blood cells, and nucleoprotein and myelin synthesis. Vitamin B12 in the body is commonly stored in the liver.
Vitamin B12 also plays an important role in the breakdown or metabolism of fats and carbohydrates and has a role in protein synthesis. Vitamin B12 deficiency may result in anemia, gastrointestinal problems, and nerve damage. Methylcobalamine injections are used to treat pernicious anemia and vitamin B12 deficiency.
