Vitamin B12 Injections
Vitamin B12 is involved in supporting the nervous system and the production of red blood cells. Some people may have difficulty maintaining adequate levels due to dietary factors, absorption issues or certain medical conditions.
Vitamin B12 injections are a prescription-only treatment and are only offered following a consultation and assessment to ensure suitability.
- A consultation is always required
- Medical history and current symptoms are reviewed
- Suitability is assessed on an individual basis
- Alternative options, such as oral supplementation, may be discussed
Is a consultation required before treatment?
Yes, a consultation is always required. This allows time to review your medical history, discuss symptoms and assess whether vitamin injections may be suitable for you.
Are vitamin injections suitable for everyone?
No. Vitamin injections are not suitable for everyone and are not routinely recommended without medical assessment. Suitability depends on individual circumstances, symptoms and medical history.
Are vitamin injections better than tablets?
In some cases, injections may be considered where absorption is an issue or where oral supplements are not appropriate. This will be discussed during your consultation, and oral supplementation may be recommended instead.
How quickly will I feel a difference?
Responses vary between individuals. Some people report noticing changes over time, while others may not. No guarantees can be made, and this will be discussed honestly during consultation.
Are the results permanent?
No. Vitamin injections do not permanently correct underlying deficiencies. Ongoing management may be required, which could include diet, supplements or further medical review.
Are vitamin B12 injections safe?
When prescribed and administered by a qualified medical professional, vitamin injections are generally considered safe for suitable individuals. As with any medical treatment, potential risks and side effects will be explained during your consultation.
