What happens at your appointment

Vitamin B12 helps keep your nerves and blood cells healthy. We check your health first, then give the injection.

  1. Health questions

    We ask about your health, diet and medicines to make sure the injection is suitable.

  2. Quick injection

    The injection is given into a muscle, usually in your upper arm.

  3. In and out quickly

    The appointment is usually short.

  4. Plan your next one

    We advise how often you may want further injections.

Before your appointment

  • Wear a top that lets us reach your upper arm
  • Tell us about any medicines and allergies
  • Let us know if you have a B12 deficiency diagnosis
