Is Methycobal Injection Safe While Suffering From Post Polio Paralysis?

I am 42 years old. I am affected by post polio paralysis. My whole body is affected by it. My backbone is not normal. It is tilted. I have shortening in one leg and foot. Now the problem with me is I have to take methycobal injections after almost every six months otherwise I feel very weak, can t work and there is pain in my backbone. Is it safe to take its injections? I took its tablets but they didn t have any effect. Will I have to take them the rest of my life? What are its side effect?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Methylcobalamine is an substitute to vitamin B 12, so you shouldn't have side effects using it. The time you have to use it depends on your condition, the use of Methylcobalamine is safe in long periods of time, however I suggest you to consult your local Doctor periodically.Hope this answers your question. Wish you good health.
