What Is a Vitamin B12 Injection?
Vitamin B12 (hydroxocobalamin) is a prescription-only treatment used to correct or prevent Vitamin B12 deficiency. It is administered as a quick intramuscular injection into the upper arm.
This method allows the vitamin to bypass the digestive system, making it particularly effective for patients with absorption issues such as pernicious anaemia or after bariatric surgery.
Vitamin B12 supports:
- Energy production
- Red blood cell formation
- Healthy nerve function
- DNA synthesis

Our private B12 injection service in RG1 7LL is available if you meet one of the following criteria:
Diagnosed Vitamin B12 Deficiency
You must bring proof of diagnosis from your GP dated within the last 3 months.

Pernicious Anaemia – Maintenance Therapy

- Your name

- Diagnosis of Vitamin B12 deficiency
If you are unsure whether you qualify, our pharmacist can advise you.
How Do I Get Tested for Vitamin B12 Deficiency?
If you have not yet been diagnosed, you will need to arrange a blood test through your GP and bring confirmation or a GP letter to your appointment.
If you have recently been diagnosed and need to begin treatment, you must bring a letter from your GP dated within the last 3 months clearly stating your diagnosis and the recommendation to start Vitamin B12 injections.
