About this service

What is the Vitamin B12 Injection?

The Vitamin B12 injection is an effective way to treat a deficiency. There is only one type of vitamin B12 injection available in the UK, known as hydroxocobalamin. Vitamin B12 tablets, also known as cyanocobalamin, can be bought over the counter from pharmacies or health stores, but are not as effective as the injection.

You can book an appointment in our Ascent Wellfield Health Clinics, if:
You have had diagnosis of Vitamin B12 deficiency from your GP (you will need to bring proof of this on the day of your appointment) or Have a undergone bariatric surgery and need B12 for the prevention of deficiency (you will need to bring proof of this on the day of your appointment) or Have received initial treatment following diagnosis of B12 deficiency due to pernicious anaemia and require maintenance therapy (you will need to bring proof of this on the day of your appointment)
Yes! You can book an appointment and get your GP to complete the form sent to you, prior to your appointment. Alternatively, you may provide a printed copy or an emailed document of your NHS medical record displaying your name and date of birth with diagnosis in the last 6 months
The injection can be given every 6 months if due to a dietary deficiency, or 2-3 months if the cause of your low B12 levels is pernicious anaemia.
