Important Notes Practical considerations for consistency and safety
B12 injections are generally well tolerated
As you can see, its not a single sticker price
Cyanocobalamin is indicated for vitamin B12 deficiencies due to malabsorption which may be associated with the following conditions: Addisonian (pernicious) anemia Gastrointestinal pathology, dysfunction, or surgery, including gluten enteropathy or sprue, small bowel bacteria overgrowth, total or partial gastrectomy Fish tapeworm infestation Malignancy of pancreas or bowel Folic acid deficiency It may be possible to treat the underlying disease by surgical correction of anatomic lesions leading to small bowel bacterial overgrowth, expulsion of fish tapeworm, discontinuation of drugs leading to vitamin malabsorption (see PRECAUTIONS-Drug Interactions), use of a gluten-free diet in nontropical sprue, or administration of antibiotics in tropical sprue
Anemia can also be caused by a restricted diet, poor iron absorption, repeated blood testing, or the hemodialysis removal of iron and vitamins
Because they are so effective, injections are a reliable way to manage a deficiency and avoid common treatment pitfalls that can occur when absorption is a problem
