Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient for maintaining good health, as our bodies cannot produce it and must obtain it from food. Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia occurs when a lack of vitamin B12 or folate leads to the production of unusually large red blood cells that do not function properly.
Common symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency include extreme tiredness, lack of energy, mouth ulcers, muscle weakness, disturbed vision, and memory and comprehension problems. Supplementation can be done through oral tablets or, in more severe cases, B12 injections.
A GP diagnoses Vitamin B12 deficiency based on symptoms and confirms it with a blood test. Our trained pharmacists can administer your B12 injection, available to those over 18 years old.
Please note a valid prescription is required from your doctor prior to B12 administration. Please bring this prescription with you if not already present in the pharmacy or sent directly by the GP.
