Vitamin B12 Injection

Vitamin B12 Injection Service Now Available at New Milton Pharmacy

Are you feeling tired, low in energy, or experiencing brain fog, pale skin, or pins and needles? These may be signs of Vitamin B12 deficiency, a common but often overlooked condition that can significantly affect your daily wellbeing.

At New Milton Pharmacy, we now offer a private Vitamin B12 Injection Service to help support your health and energy levels, with safe and professional care from our trained team.

🔎 What is Vitamin B12 and why is it important?

Vitamin B12 (also known as cobalamin) is an essential nutrient that helps:

• Keep your nervous system healthy
• Maintain healthy red blood cells
• Support energy production and brain function

Your body does not produce Vitamin B12 — it must be obtained through your diet. It’s found naturally in foods likemeat, fish, dairy, and eggs, so those following a vegan or plant-based diet are at higher risk of deficiency. You may also be at risk if you’ve had bariatric surgery or have conditions like pernicious anaemia, which affect absorption.

🩺 Common symptoms of B12 deficiency

Vitamin B12 deficiency can present in various ways. Symptoms may include:

• Extreme tiredness or fatigue
• Breathlessness, dizziness, or feeling faint
• Memory issues or mental fog
• Pale or yellowish skin
• Pins and needles or numbness
• Palpitations or low mood
• Sore tongue or changes in vision

If you’re experiencing any of these, you may benefit from B12 testing or treatment.

💉 About the Injection

We administer Hydroxocobalamin 1000mcg — the only form of injectable Vitamin B12 currently approved and used in the UK.

• Given as a quick intramuscular injection in your upper arm
• Typically used to treat or maintain levels after confirmed deficiency
• May be required every 2 to 3 months for pernicious anaemia, or every 6 months for dietary deficiencies

The injection is usually well tolerated, though mild redness or soreness at the site may occur.
