An indication is a term used for the list of condition or symptom or illness for which the medicine is prescribed or used by the patient. For example, acetaminophen or paracetamol is used for fever by the patient, or the doctor prescribes it for a headache or body pains. Now fever, headache and body pains are the indications of paracetamol. A patient should be aware of the indications of medications used for common conditions because they can be taken over the counter in the pharmacy meaning without prescription by the Physician.

Pernicious anemia, both uncomplicated and accompanied by nervous system involvement.
Dietary deficiency of Vitamin B12, occurring in strict vegetarians and in their breast-fed infants. (Isolated vitamin B12 deficiency is very rare).
Malabsorption of vitamin B12, resulting from structural or functional damage to the stomach, where intrinsic factor is secreted or to the ileum, where intrinsic factor facilitates vitamin B12 absorption. These conditions include tropical sprue, and nontropical sprue (idiopathic steatorrhea, gluten-induced enteropathy). Folate deficiency in these patients is usually more severe than vitamin B12 deficiency.
Inadequate secretion of intrinsic factor, resulting from lesions that destroy the gastric mucosa (ingestion of corrosives, extensive neoplasia), and a number of conditions associated with a variable degree of gastric atrophy (such as multiple sclerosis, certain endocrine disorders, iron deficiency, and subtotal gastrectomy). Total gastrectomy always produces vitamin B12 deficiency.
Structural lesions leading to vitamin B12 deficiency include regional ileitis, ileal resections, malignancies, etc.
Competition for Vitamin B12 by intestinal parasites or bacteria.
The fish tapeworm (Diphyilobothrium latum) absorbs huge quantities of vitamin B12 and infested patients often have associated gastric atrophy. The blind-loop syndrome may produce deficiency of Vitamin B12 or folate.
Inadequate utilization of vitamin B12. This may occur if antimetabolites for the vitamin are employed in the treatment of neoplasia.
For the Schilling Test.

Renerve Plus interactions
Antibiotics: The use of antibiotics may alter the intestinal microflora and may decrease the possible contribution of Renerve Plus by certain inhabitants of the microflora (eg, Lactobacillus spp) to the body's requirement for the vitamin. This may particularly be a problem for vegetarians. Garlic, onions, leeks, bananas, asparagus and artichokes, among other vegetables and fruits, contain inulins which promote the growth of certain colonic bacteria including Lactobacillus spp.
Cholestyramine:
Cholestyramine may decrease the enterohepatic reabsorption of Renerve Plus.
Colchicine: Colchicine may cause decreased absorption of Renerve Plus.
Colestipol:
Colestipol may decrease the enterohepatic reabsorption of Renerve Plus.
H2-Blockers (Cimetidine, Famotidine, Nizatidine, Ranitidine): Chronic use of H2-blockers may result to decreased absorption of Renerve Plus. They are unlikely to affect the absorption of supplemental B12.
Metformin: Metformin may decrease the absorption of Renerve Plus. This possible effect may be reversed with oral calcium supplementation.
Nitrous Oxide: Inhalation of the anesthetic agent nitrous oxide (not to be confused with nitric oxide) can produce a functional deficiency. Nitrous oxide forms a complex with cobalt in Renerve Plus, the cofactor for methionine synthase, resulting in inactivation of the enzyme.
Para-Amino Salicylic Acid: Chronic use of the anti-tuberculosis drug may decrease the absorption of Renerve Plus.
Potassium Chloride: It has been reported that potassium chloride may decrease the absorption of Renerve Plus.
Proton Pump Inhibitors (Lansoprazole, Omeprazole, Pantoprazole, Rabeprazole): Chronic use of proton pump inhibitors may result in decreased absorption, naturally found in food sources.
Renerve Plus side effects

water weight gain, edema, increase in BUN, and dilutional hyponatremia. Asterixis was reported to have worsened in one patient during infusion of this medicine.
Reactions which may occur because of the solution or the technique of administration include febrile response, infection at the site of injection, venous thrombosis or phlebitis extending from the site of injection, extravasation and hypervolemia.
Symptoms may result from an excess or deficit of one or more of the ions present in the solution; therefore, frequent monitoring of electrolyte levels is essential.
Phosphorus deficiency may lead to impaired tissue oxygenation and acute hemolytic anemia. Relative to calcium, excessive phosphorus intake can precipitate hypocalcemia with cramps, tetany and muscular hyperexcitability.
If an adverse reaction does occur, discontinue the infusion, evaluate the patient, institute appropriate therapeutic countermeasures and save the remainder of the fluid for examination if deemed necessary.
