Introduction
If the degree of nerve damage is mild, such as mild peripheral neuritis, and the patient's metabolic condition is good with rapid absorption and utilization of medication, symptoms such as numbness and pain may be relieved within 10–20 days of treatment. However, if the nerve damage is severe, such as long-standing sciatica, or if the patient is elderly or has slow metabolism, the recovery process may be prolonged.
The time required for the medication to take effect is influenced by multiple factors. Generally, Mecobalamin tablets may take 10-30 days to show effects, with specific duration varying among individuals and depending on the condition being treated. Detailed explanations are as follows:
If the nerve damage is mild, such as mild peripheral neuritis, and the patient's metabolic condition is good with rapid drug absorption and utilization, symptom relief such as reduced numbness and pain may be felt within 10-20 days of medication use.
If the nerve damage is severe, such as long-term sciatica, or if the patient is elderly or has slow metabolism, the medication may take longer to work. Effects may not be noticeable until 20-30 days after starting treatment, so it is important to continue taking the medication as prescribed by a physician.
When taking Mecobalamin tablets, strictly follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment. Do not arbitrarily increase or decrease the dosage if no effects are observed in the short term. If symptoms do not improve after 30 days, seek medical advice promptly to adjust the treatment plan.
