I saw two boxes of medicine. If I'm not mistaken, they should be called Mecobalamin Tablets. I don't have a very good relationship with this colleague, and I'm especially curious to know what condition this medication is used to treat.

Mecobalamin tablets are versatile neurological medications primarily used to treat various diseases related to the nervous system. Their main functions include nourishing nerves and promoting nerve recovery, making them suitable for treating multiple peripheral neuropathies, such as trigeminal neuralgia, sciatica, and polyneuritis. Additionally, mecobalamin tablets are widely used in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy, facial nerve paralysis, herpes zoster, and nerve pain caused by skin inflammation. In hematology, mecobalamin tablets can be used to treat megaloblastic anemia, especially anemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency.

The main component of mecobalamin tablets is mecobalamin, an endogenous coenzyme B12 that effectively promotes the synthesis of nucleic acids, proteins, and lecithin, playing an important role in the repair and functional recovery of the nervous system.

It should be noted that although mecobalamin tablets are effective, they are contraindicated for patients allergic to vitamin B12, and long-term, high-dose use may cause adverse reactions. Therefore, rational drug use under a doctor's guidance is essential.
