The recommended hydroxocobalamin dosage for adults starts at 30 mcg (0.03 mL) injected daily for 5 to 10 days. You'll then inject 100 mcg to 200 mcg (0.1 mL to 0.2 mL) once a month.
However, the dosage of B12 injections can vary depending on several factors, including:
- The reason for the injection: You may need a higher dose if you have a vitamin B12 deficiency or are taking certain medications.
- Your age and health: Older adults and people with certain medical conditions may need a lower dose.
- Your body's individual needs: Some people may absorb vitamin B12 more efficiently than others, so they may need a higher dose.
It's essential to speak to your doctor or healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dosage of B12 for you. They will consider your individual needs and medical history to provide the safest and most effective treatment.
