Vitamin B12 Injections

A B12 injection is a shot that delivers vitamin B12 directly into the bloodstream. B12 is an essential vitamin that is important for the production of red blood cells, DNA, and nerve function. Some people may need B12 injections if they are unable to absorb enough B12 through their diet or if they have certain medical conditions that affect B12 absorption. Make sure to speak with your GP before undergoing any B12 injection.

The frequency of B12 injections can vary depending on individual needs and medical conditions. In general, people with B12 deficiencies may receive injections every few weeks until their levels improve, and then switch to receiving injections every few months as maintenance therapy. Your healthcare provider can recommend a personalised treatment plan based on your individual needs. Make sure to speak with your GP before undergoing any B12 injection.

B12 injections can help improve symptoms associated with B12 deficiencies, such as fatigue, weakness, and neurological problems. In addition, B12 injections may be beneficial for people with certain medical conditions, such as pernicious anaemia or Crohn’s disease, that affect B12 absorption. Make sure to speak with your GP before undergoing any B12 injection.

While B12 injections are generally considered safe, some people may experience side effects such as pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site. Rarely, more serious side effects such as allergic reactions or anaphylaxis may occur. Talk to your healthcare provider if you have any concerns about the risks or side effects of B12 injections. Make sure to speak with your GP before undergoing any B12 injection.
