Vitamin B12 Injections

If you suspect you may have a Vitamin B12 deficiency, it is crucial to undergo testing before initiating any treatment. Testing helps confirm the deficiency and ensures that you receive the appropriate care. You can request a Vitamin B12 test at one of our clinics. It’s vital to bring the test results with you to your appointment at Private Medical Clinic for a comprehensive evaluation and tailored treatment.

Vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal-based foods such as meat, fish, dairy products, and eggs. Supplementation may be necessary for those following a vegan diet or those who may not consume enough Vitamin B12-rich foods.

The Vitamin B12 injection is a notably practical approach to tackle Vitamin B12 deficiency. In the UK, hydroxocobalamin is the predominant form of Vitamin B12 injection used. While Vitamin B12 tablets (cyanocobalamin) are accessible over the counter, they are generally considered less effective compared to the injection for addressing severe deficiencies or cases where absorption issues are a concern.
