Cyanocobalamin Injection (Vitamin B12)

Cyanocobalamin injection is prescribed for the treatment and prevention of vitamin B12 deficiency, which may be caused by pernicious anemia without the natural substance necessary for absorbing this vitamin in the intestine, as well as certain diseases, infections, or medications that hinder its absorption from dietary sources. Cyanocobalamin is typically administered in a solution form through an injection into a muscle or subcutaneously, usually by a healthcare professional in a clinical setting. The initial treatment phase usually involves daily injections for 6-7 days, followed by a reduced frequency of every other day for 2 weeks, and then 3-4 days for 2-3 weeks as the red blood cell counts return to normal. Your doctor can inform you about potential risks associated with using Cyanocobalamin injection for your condition as it is also occasionally administered for the treatment of methylmalonic aciduria (an inherited disorder that impairs protein breakdown) and as a preventive measure for unborn infants.
