MEZRON

This brand name is authorized in Nigeria.

Active ingredients

The drug MEZRON contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):

1	Haemoglobin UNII VSU9IB86SP - HEMOGLOBIN
2	Chelated iron UNII E1UOL152H7 - IRON
3	Vitamin B12 UNII P6YC3EG204 - CYANOCOBALAMIN
	Hydroxocobalamin is used in the treatment and prevention of Vitamin B12 deficiency. For adults, the daily requirement of Vitamin B12 is probably about 1 to 2 micrograms and this amount is present in most normal diets. However, Vitamin B12 only occurs in animal products, not in vegetables, and therefore strict vegetarian or vegan diets that exclude dairy products may provide an inadequate amount, although a deficiency may not be apparent for many years.
