Product Overview
Cynamin Vitamin B12 Injection is a high-strength parenteral solution of Cyanocobalamin, containing 1000mcg per 2ml. This sterile injection is essential for restoring Vitamin B12 levels in patients who cannot absorb the nutrient through the digestive tract. It is widely used in Nigeria to treat severe deficiencies and support overall neurological health.
Why Use Cynamin B12 Injection?
This treatment is highly effective for several conditions:
- Pernicious Anemia: Vital for individuals whose bodies lack the "intrinsic factor" needed to absorb B12 from food.
- Nerve Health and Pain: Helps manage peripheral neuropathy and symptoms often described locally as "body pepper" or tingling sensations.
- Energy Boost: By supporting red blood cell formation, it helps combat extreme fatigue and weakness associated with macrocytic anemia.
- Post-Surgery Recovery: Often prescribed for patients who have undergone gastric or intestinal surgeries that affect nutrient absorption.
How much is Vitamin B12 Injection in Nigeria?
The price of Vitamin B12 injections varies. Cynamin (1000mcg/2ml, Pack of 10) is currently priced at approximately ₦45,000 on GoMed. While generic versions are available, Cynamin is a trusted brand for consistent quality.
Administration and Storage
This is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM). It must be administered via intramuscular (IM) or deep subcutaneous (SC) injection by a healthcare professional. Store the ampoules in their original packaging to protect them from light, as Vitamin B12 is light-sensitive.
