Other than to boost energy levels, B12 injections are also recommended for those diagnosed with Vitamin B12 deficiency (patients with malabsorption, pernicious anaemia, Crohn’s disease and similar, and those who’ve undergone gastric or bariatric surgery).

If your B12 blood serum levels are below 150 pmol/l, we advise you to see a GP as you may be eligible for B12 injections on the NHS – but if you’d like to use our private service we are happy to help you as well.

Patients ineligible for this service:

• pregnant or breastfeeding patients

• those with cobalt, cobalmin and derivative allergies

• have low blood potassium levels

• are undergoing cancer treatment

• those who have cardiac arrhythmias

• if you are not diagnosed as deficient and had a vitamin B12 injection less than 2 months ago

When you come in for the consultation, our pharmacist will conduct a risk assessment to determine if it is safe for you to receive the injection.

Once we confirm there are no contraindications or reasons to postpone, we will proceed with administering the injection.

Additionally, we will provide you with safety advice and ask you to remain in the pharmacy for 15 minutes afterward to monitor for fainting or any adverse reactions.

Out Vitamin B12 injections cost £40, and consultations are free.
