Vitamin B12 Injections

Service Description

Lotus Pharmacy offers a convenient private Vitamin B12 Injection Service for individuals who require vitamin B12 replacement. Vitamin B12 plays an important role in the formation of red blood cells and the normal functioning of the nervous system. Low vitamin B12 levels can occur for a number of reasons, including dietary deficiency, difficulties absorbing vitamin B12 and conditions such as pernicious anaemia. Vitamin B12 deficiency can be associated with symptoms such as tiredness, weakness, pins and needles, a sore or red tongue, and problems with memory or concentration. If left untreated, some complications of vitamin B12 deficiency can become more serious. Following a consultation, our healthcare professional will assess whether a vitamin B12 injection is appropriate for you and administer the injection where clinically suitable. How often injections are required will depend on the reason for your vitamin B12 deficiency and your individual treatment requirements. For some dietary deficiencies, an injection may be required approximately every 6 months, while maintenance treatment for pernicious anaemia may be required more frequently, typically every 2–3 months. Your healthcare professional will advise you on the appropriate schedule. Price: £29 per injection All injections are subject to a clinical assessment and individual suitability. If your symptoms or circumstances require further investigation, we may recommend that you speak with your GP or another appropriate healthcare professional.
