BENEFITS OF MECONERV TABLET
In Treatment of Pernicious Anemia
Pernicious anemia is a condition where your body does not have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen around your body due to lack of vitamin B12. If you do not get enough vitamin B12 from the foods you eat (because of poor nutrition or poor absorption of the mineral), your body will produce fewer red blood cells and can cause anemia. Meconerv Tablet is a nutritional supplement used to treat or prevent low levels of vitamin B12 in the body. Both of them play an essential role in the production of red blood cells, and its deficiency can lead to anemia. It can boost your levels of red blood cells and reduce the symptoms of anemia such as tiredness and weakness. Take it in the exact dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor for maximum benefits.
