Is it safe to use veterinarian grade injectable vitamin B-12 shots?
My doctor won't give me a prescription for injectable vitamin B-12. Can I use veterinarian grade safely?

Why don't you just get the b12 pills from the drug store? Or the 12-hour energy drink that is basically a ridiculuously high dose of b12? Or are you hooked on mainlining?

Re: Is it safe to use veterinarian grade injectable vitamin B-12 shots?
Last spring I bought vet-grade Amoxicillin and Tetracycline online [BTW: cheaper than even Wal-Mart's $4 prescriptions!] and they work exactly the same as those from the pharmacy down the street. I even went online and researched them... every medical capsule has a unique color combination and an I.D.# & lot code printed on the side for quality control... I easily confirmed that this "fish-mox" was IDENTICAL to what doctors prescribe. The company where I purchased it [calvetsupply.com] also carries Penicillin, Ampicillin and Neomycin, they also carry an injectible B-complex that has the highest dosage of B-12 available without a script [1,000mcg per ml] it sells for only $6.95 per 100ml.

Your B-12 bottle will also have similar control numbers printed on the side; Google "injectible B-12" and do a little digging and you'll find the info you need.

Vitamin B-12 is often not digested well at all in the digestive tract - so, B-12 shots are the best method. It is good to take folic acid and other B vitamins along with it.

491996:

There's also a reason they inject B-12 in hospitals instead of giving it orally. Larger doses hit your bloodstream faster for more immediate results in a system that is nutritionally-deficient. Your energy-drinks are a JOKE compared to injectible vitimin suppliments and the same thing goes for other oral applications [including sublingual] as well.

OP: you may want to pick a recent copy of the PDR while you're at it! It makes a very GOOD starting point for ANY self-medication and will help you avoid any tragic errors in judgement [that even Doctors make frequently].

I was drinking a Red Bull yesterday (rare for me); and I read the list of ingredients. It listed vitamin B-12. I thought, "yeah, right....that B-12 won't do much....wish I had a bottle of injectable B-12 and a needle instead! lol!"

THANKS! You won't be disappointed; they also carry powdered aspirin as well as Neomycin for aqueous suspension [for the elderly or young children]. Use simple common-sense and RESEARCH the efficacy/application of ANY drug you consume and you'll do just fine. As I said above, a PDR is indispensable for this purpose.

BTW: did I mention that CalVet ships VERY QUICKLY?

Stay healthy, sweetie!

I used to work in vet. med..we ALWAYS used vet drugs on ourself..hence, when I needed b12 injections due to a condition where I do not process it correctly in the digestive track..I went to cal-vet I get the highest amount of b12 per cc available without prescription and the 1 cc needles and syringes...without health insurance, it's my only hope. Works fine, feel great and after two years of daily injections, I have not started mooing yet:)

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77394

Not at all - feels like a mosquito bite, if even. The secret to giving yourself an intra-muscular shot, is to totally relax the muscle that you're injecting. (if you're shooting yourself in the ass muscle, be sure to take all your body weight OFF the leg which is the same side as the ass muscle that you're injecting. Nope, B-12 shots are quite painless.

You took B-12 injections daily? Wow - may I ask why so often, and did the daily shots do more for you than say once or twice a week? Cool! I might take it daily too!

Why don't you just consume your vitamins in another way? There's no need to inject vitamins into yourself. In fact injecting anything greatly increases the risk for disease.

Yes - B-12 is Cyanocobalamin. B-6 is Pyridoxine.
It's better to take shots that have multiple B-vitamins AND folic acid, not just B-12 alone.

alright... i knew there was Cyanocobalamin and Pyridoxine, just wasn't sure which was which...


Like you said tho... Definitely take them with folic acid, it is a must for the metabolism of them
