Can I self-administer B-12 shots?

Question

I get monthly B-12 shots from my doctor, but I would like to get them more often. I already give myself allergy shots in the thigh. Can I do the same thing with B-12? If so, how often and in what dose? Where can I get the shot mixture? Thanks.

Answer 1

The dr can give you aprescription for b-12. it's a red liqiud, 1ml per month. cyanobalamin ( i think is how it's spelled).

Answer 2

Are you serious?

Where in your mind do you get the idea that you have a better idea how to dose a medication than a physician who does it as his job? Who went to medical school? Do you know ANYTHING about pharmacology?

Here is your answer: Talk to the doctor. If you want to self-administer, have the doctor arrange it. If you want a more frequent or larger dose, TALK TO THE DOCTOR.

Use your head.

Also, why are you asking questions about medication on yahoo answers?

You are totally not welcome.

Answer 3

you must get the prescription from your doctor and yes you can give it to yourself  but still once a month.

Answer 4

you can buy it at vet supply houses ...Internet...as for dose..try a cc or so every 3-5 days ..
