Description
Vitamin B12 shots (cyanocobalamin) are injections given to people who have difficulty absorbing this important vitamin on their own through their daily dietary plans. It is important to be able to absorb B12 well as it optimizes cell reproduction, blood formation, along with protein and tissue synthesis. It is commonly used as a supplement for people suffering from pernicious anemia. Vegetarians and vegans are often B12 deficient. Most people who receive a prescription for a B12 shot can buy vitamin B12 injections from their pharmacy self-administer the injection for themselves, provided they understand the safe way to do so.
Directions
When you buy Vitamin B12 injections your pharmacist will provide you with printed instructions you can reference before giving yourself the injection. The vitamin B12 injection is usually injected subcutaneously (just under the skin) into fatty tissue. Once you buy vitamin B12 injections and are ready to self-administer your first dosage, be sure to clean and sanitize the region of your body where you will be injecting to. Allow the sanitized skin to dry, and then pull the skin taut (tight) over the region before injecting the needle. Skin should be smooth, and if you are injecting intramuscularly; the muscle should be fully relaxed.
Other areas of the body an individual can receive their vitamin B12 injection are intramuscularly - injection points being the thigh, buttocks, within the deltoid region of either arm, or the lower abdominal region. The high is the best and most recommended region on the body for anyone that is self-administering a B12 shot. Mainly if they are just learning, because it is an easy region on the body to reach on your own.
However, if you are not comfortable with giving yourself a vitamin B12 shot then you should not try it. Mostly for individuals who experience fear around needles (trypanophobic). We recommend you make an appointment to have your vitamin B12 dosage safely administered by a physician at a clinic, or in some cases, your pharmacist may also be able to administer the injection with no appointment necessary.
