Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Yang Ziqi
The adverse effects of Mecobalamin Tablets mainly include the following:
1. Gastrointestinal reactions: This is the most common side effect, which may manifest as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and other symptoms. These symptoms are more common at the beginning of treatment, and some patients may discontinue the medication due to intolerance.
2. Allergic reactions: Some patients may be allergic to ingredients in Mecobalamin Tablets, experiencing allergic symptoms such as rash, facial swelling, and itching. In severe cases, allergic reactions such as difficulty breathing and decreased blood pressure may occur, requiring immediate discontinuation of the medication and medical attention.
3. Liver and kidney function damage: Long-term or excessive use of Mecobalamin Tablets may cause certain damage to liver and kidney function, leading to increased uric acid levels, abdominal distension, fatigue, and poor appetite. Therefore, patients should attend regular follow-up visits under a doctor's guidance, monitor serum mecobalamin levels, and adjust the type and dosage of medication timely.
Although the adverse effects of Mecobalamin Tablets are relatively few, patients should still pay attention to medication safety, follow medical instructions, and avoid the occurrence of adverse reactions.
