During the consultation, your practitioner may assess your medical history, dietary habits, and symptoms to determine if you have a vitamin B-12 deficiency. Based on the results, the practitioner will develop a personalised treatment plan, including the type and frequency of injections suggested.
The vitamin B12 injection procedure begins with the practitioner cleansing the injection site, typically the upper arm. The practitioner then administers the vitamin B12 injection directly into the muscle. After the injection, the site is monitored for any immediate reactions, and detailed aftercare instructions are provided. To ensure optimal results and adjust the treatment plan as needed, regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor your progress.
Common sites for intramuscular injections is the upper arm or thigh.
Vitamin B-12 injections typically contain a synthetic form of the vitamin, such as cyanocobalamin or hydroxocobalamin.
The effects can last from a few weeks to a few months, depending on individual needs and the type of B-12 used.
Common side effects include mild swelling, redness at the injection site, and occasional dizziness. These usually subside quickly.
Many people feel an increase in energy levels within 24 to 48 hours, though it may take a few weeks for full benefits to be noticeable.
While dietary sources like meat, fish, and dairy provide B-12, some people may need injections due to absorption issues or dietary restrictions.
