Mecobalamin (Methylcobalamin) isn't really considered a drug; it is just another supplemental form of Vitamin B12.
This is commonly supplemented by people who have a rare B12 deficiency or any of the conditions below: peripheral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, and as a preliminary treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Possible side effects can include:
-Rash:
In some cases, methylcobalamin has been known to cause an itchy rash. The rash causes pustules to form on the skin. It is common for the pustules to last up to 4 months after methylcobalamin supplements have been discontinued.
-Peripheral Vascular Thrombosis:
Too much methylcobalamin has been known to uncover polycythemia vera, a condition in which the bone marrow makes too many red blood cells. Correcting the amount of methylcobalamin in the body by taking a supplement could result in a condition called hypokalemia, which is a potassium shortage and can lead to death.
Please post back if you have any other general questions or concerns about this.
