Question
How long does it take for facial palsy patients to recover after taking Mecobalamin?
Answer
Mecobalamin, an endogenous form of Vitamin B12, has a positive stabilizing effect on blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and nerve conduction. As a cofactor for methionine synthase, it facilitates the conversion of homocysteine into methionine, thereby promoting the metabolism of nucleic acids, proteins, and fats. Generally, facial palsy patients need to take Mecobalamin for about half a month to a month before seeing any improvement in their condition, with the hope of relief or even complete recovery. If only Mecobalamin is taken, the effects may not be very pronounced. Additionally, combining traditional Chinese acupuncture therapy can help accelerate the recovery from facial palsy.
