Practices need to reinstate B12 injections for anyone who is well and can get to the surgery or prescribe B12 ampoules and sub cutaneous needles for people to collect from a pharmacy so that they, or someone close to them can give them their vital injection
Much of the research framing treats it as an orally administered compound, and in practitioner circles it circulates in oral/sublingual forms (capsules, or the reconstituted solution taken sublingually)
Hypothetical synergy, research ongoing
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning the body naturally excretes any excess amount
Missed Dose
Hydroxocobalamin, the form most commonly used in the UK, may cause: Injection site reactions (pain, redness, or swelling) Temporary reddish discolouration of urine Rarely, hypersensitivity reactions Very rarely, hypokalaemia in severely deficient patients when treatment is initiated (potassium levels should be monitored in severe deficiency) B12 injections are considered very safe, with no upper tolerable limit established, as excess B12 is excreted in urine
