The typical dosage for vitamin B12 injections is 1000 mcg (1 mg)
These compounded drugs are mandated to use solely ingredients from FDA-licensed sources and undergo rigorous testing for potency, sterility, and purity
These may include mild digestive changes (nausea, altered bowel movements), increased energy levels that may feel stimulating initially, mild headaches (often related to dehydration), and minor injection site reactions (redness, temporary discomfort)
Post-Surgical Care: Patients who have undergone gastrointestinal surgeries, such as gastrectomies or ileal resections, may face challenges in absorbing B12 from food due to changes in the digestive process
If irritation continues to occur, apply an over-the-counter itch cream, preferably with hydrocortisone, or discontinue use entirely
