COMPOSITION Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) 1mg/mL ACTIONS Supplementation of Vitamin B12 INDICATIONS Vitamin B12 supplement for the treatment of macrocytic anaemia in horses and dogs DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Administer intramuscularly twice weekly or as directed by a veterinary surgeon
For patients with confirmed pernicious anaemia or malabsorption disorders, injectable therapy remains the recommended first-line treatment according to NICE CKS guidance, as oral supplementationregardless of dosecannot reliably correct deficiency in these circumstances

Individual variation in requirements and absorption means no single protocol fits everyone
