Injections at 12 indications. Use of vitamin for various diseases. Interactions with drugs

Vitamins play a vital role in the life of any living organism. Cyanocobalamin is one of the B vitamins. It is involved in the most complex and important processes of organizing life, helps “create” blood cells, regulates fat and carbohydrate metabolism, provides normal functioning nervous system. Vitamin B12 interacts closely with other vitamins and substances; its imbalance can lead to malfunction the most complex system and lead to many diseases.

Properties of the vitamin

Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) ensures normal cell division, and they are the smallest building blocks that make up any organism. The main cells that cyanocobalamin “works” to create are blood cells. They carry out transportation nutrients to any other cell, thanks to this, they can develop, feed, grow. The process of replacing “old” cells with new ones occurs constantly in the body. This allows all organs to be cleansed, restored and function normally. There is a disease that occurs when there are few blood cells in the body. That’s what it’s called: “anemia” or “anemia” in scientific terms.

In addition to its “main” job, cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) is also involved in the division of other cells. It has a significant effect on the function of the nervous system and improves brain function. He takes an active part in the creation - it covers all nerve fibers. The vitamin improves the functioning of the digestive system and intestines; it is involved in creating the membrane lining these organs. Stabilizes gland function internal secretion, participates in metabolic processes, creates immune cells, renews skin cells. It synthesizes DNA molecules, deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid, thereby launching a vital process - the nucleus of each cell consists of these acids, and they carry hereditary information. A lack of cyanocobalamin can cause a deficiency of a quasi-vitamin (carnitine). It looks for fat molecules in the blood and sends them to the mitochondria. There, fat is converted into life-giving energy that nourishes our body.

Interaction with other beneficial substances

Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) actively interacts both with vitamins of its group and with others. It is necessary for normal B9. Its deficiency can lead to vitamin B1 deficiency. Therefore, when prescribing treatment, several vitamins are often used in combination.

It is important for the production of nucleic acid, folate and pantothenic acid. And they are responsible for the stable functioning of the nervous system, protecting us from stress and depression. B12 helps produce choline and makes iron work, the effects of which are often lacking. Actively interacts with vitamin C, ensuring complete metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates. Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) also helps vitamin A to be synthesized in the body and work to restore body tissue. Benefits and beneficial features it has long been studied and proven. He is entrusted with a great responsibility - in his absence, most of the functions of our body will not be carried out normally, and treatment may become useless.

Natural sources

Vitamin B12 is not found in plant foods. It is produced by microorganisms: bacteria, yeast fungi, mold. But in order for the vitamin to be fully absorbed, one more component is needed - “ internal factor Castle." This is a unique protein that is produced in the stomach. Animals produce cobalamin during their life and accumulate it. Therefore, the deficiency can be compensated only by eating animal food. A lot of the vitamin is found in pork, veal and beef liver, yeast, in fermented milk products and in the sea. This seaweed, shrimp, squid, fish and others. Vitamin B12 is present in soy products that have been fermented, for example, in tofu cheese, but is not found in soy itself, this is worth considering.

Daily dose

A healthy person needs very little vitamin per day - one millionth of a gram; good nutrition any organism receives in abundance. But vegetarians and vegans (according to doctors) often suffer from a lack of it, but due to their beliefs they refuse to eat animal food. They can make up for the deficiency by taking cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) tablets. You should first consult with your doctor regarding dosage.

The vitamin is prescribed by gastroenterologists to people who have poor absorption, have cancer. There are often reviews from doctors indicating that such a simple drug as vitamin B12 can provide the strongest positive impact on the body and can help get rid of even a serious illness.

Generally speaking, vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) enters the body of a healthy, normally nourished person in sufficient quantities from regular products nutrition. And it does this useful substance exclusively with animal food, but in plant products There is virtually no cyanocobalamin, and people on a strict vegan diet are often seriously deficient in it (hypovitaminosis varying degrees expressiveness).

However, not only a vegetarian diet can cause a deficiency of vitamin B12 in the body - there are many other situations when there are indications for additional use of cyanocobalamin preparations.

It is also important to remember that vitamin B12 is for oral administration(that is, orally - for example, in the form of tablets and capsules) has less bioavailability than in the form of an injection solution:

when cyanocobalamin enters the stomach, no more than 70% of the vitamin content in the preparation is absorbed (usually about 40%);
and when intravenous administration up to 97-98% of the beneficial substance is absorbed.

Accordingly, for each group of preparations with vitamin B12, the instructions for use and the doses used are somewhat different.

The most common reason for starting to take vitamin B12 supplements is hypovitaminosis of cyanocobalamin in people on a strict diet and not consuming normal quantities animal food.

tingling in the tips of the fingers and toes;
tinnitus;
depression;
chronic fatigue;
visual disturbances;

anemia;
hepatitis;
gastroduodenitis;
chronic pancreatitis;
memory loss.

If these disorders are present, the doctor will usually order a blood test first. If the problem really is a lack of cyanocobalamin, then the patient is prescribed injections of vitamin B12 as part of complex therapy.

“The lucky ones are those who have never been injected with vitamin B12 or its brother B6. The injections are very painful, there is no anesthesia in them, sometimes you want to climb the wall after the injection. I became acquainted with this when I was diagnosed with vegetative-vascular dystonia. I don’t understand why you can’t take pills, there are so many of them now. But no, our doctors just need to give injections...”

Of course, people experience the greatest difficulties in cases where they have to inject vitamin B12 ampoules on their own - in this case, deviations from the instructions can be the most dangerous. Let's look at some aspects of this process in more detail.

How to inject vitamin B12 in ampoules?

In general, vitamin B12 injections can be the following types:

Intravenous;
Intramuscular;
Subcutaneous;
IN spinal cord(intralumbar).

In the first three cases, the patient can give vitamin B12 injections to himself. Only with intralumbar administration is the assistance of an experienced doctor necessary.

On a note

Intralumbar administration is practiced for the treatment of nervous disorders that have developed due to a lack of vitamin B12: from insomnia and depression to memory loss and multiple sclerosis.

According to the instructions, vitamin B12 is usually administered 1 ml of solution per day for 2-3 weeks, followed by monitoring the amount of vitamin in the blood.

Instructions for using vitamin B12 injections intramuscularly involve injections into the gluteal muscle or thigh. To do this, wipe the injection site with alcohol, carefully cut off or break off the top of the ampoule with a special ampoule knife, then draw the solution into a syringe and, lifting the needle up, gently press the syringe piston to squeeze out the air. Then the needle is quickly (possibly with a slap) inserted into the injection site and the drug is slowly squeezed out of the syringe.

For intravenous administration, the procedure is similar, only the injection is made into the cubital vein, provided that it is clearly visible.

According to the instructions, vitamin B12 is usually injected subcutaneously into children. Typical places for injections - buttocks, thighs, shoulders.

“After giving birth, I was prescribed B12 injections due to low hemoglobin. My daughter was also prescribed small doses after staphylococcus has been cured. I didn’t want her to get more injections after all this torment, I was scared for her, she was so weak, but the doctor reassured us and said that there was nothing dangerous in them. I weighed the pros and cons and decided. Probably right. It’s been six months now, all the tests are good, the hemoglobin is normal.”

Oksana, Samara

The photo below shows some common vitamin B12 preparations in ampoules (manufactured by Moskhimfarmpreparat, Dalkhimfarm, Darnitsa, etc.) - they are suitable for all types of injections:

There are also complex solutions for injections that also contain vitamins B1 and B6 along with cyanocobalamin (Neurobion, Neurorubin, etc.). They are usually prescribed in slightly different situations than B12 alone.

Instructions for the use of certain tablet medications

Tablets and capsules with vitamin B12 are much easier to take than using injection solutions: they are taken after meals in quantities specified by the doctor or prescribed in the instructions. Typical indications for use: nervous disorders, decrease in hemoglobin level in the blood, tendency to anemia, blood loss, some diseases of the digestive tract.

The most common drugs in this form of release include:

“Last winter I was prescribed Neurovitan for depression, they said that the condition was fraught with the development of neurosis. I took one tablet a day with meals. And I noticed that my hair began to grow better. The depression has really gone away, I think that this year I will start taking these pills in the fall.”

Natalya, Moscow

Doses and norms of vitamin B12 intake

The daily intake of vitamin B12 is:

3 mcg per day for an adult;
0.5 mcg per day for children under 1 year.

According to these standards, you need to take medications. It should be borne in mind that when consuming tablets or capsules, only part of vitamin B12 is absorbed.

On a note

In tablet preparations, the adjustment for “digestibility” is already taken into account in the composition of the tablets - they contain 20% more vitamin B12 than a person needs per day. Accordingly, when consuming 1 tablet, approximately the daily dose of the substance ultimately enters the bloodstream.

When using vitamin B12 in the form of injections, the doses are calculated precisely - the absorption rate is very high, and a person should receive exactly as much vitamin as he needs.

For therapeutic purposes, in the treatment of certain diseases, increased doses of cyanocobalamin are sometimes used, up to 10-15 mcg per day. Such treatment should be carried out under the supervision of a physician and stopped if side effects and signs of hypervitaminosis occur.

On a note

It is interesting to note that pregnancy is also a contraindication to the use of vitamin B12, since very large quantities can have a teratogenic effect on the fetus. However, if the mother has severe anemia, careful use of vitamin B12 will still be necessary.

A contraindication to the use of vitamin B12 may be the simultaneous use of certain medications. For example, B12 does not combine well with corticosteroid hormones and anti-tuberculosis drugs.

It should be remembered that side effects may occur when taking vitamin B12. Among them:

hives;
thrombosis blood vessels on foot;
pulmonary edema;
heart failure;
allergic reaction of any severity, up to anaphylactic shock.

It is impossible to predict in advance whether such consequences will appear or not. Therefore, it is advisable to start taking vitamin B12 (especially in the form of injections) under the supervision of a doctor, using reduced dosages and carefully monitoring the sensations and reactions of your own body.

In turn, the absence of B 12 leads to severe consequences, and sometimes irreversible.

The vitamin B12 or cyanocobalamin molecule is the most complex and largest of all existing ones. Her main feature is the presence of a cobalt atom. As part of other enzymes, vitamin B12 takes an active part in:

oxidation of fats and proteins;
amino acid synthesis;
regulation of hematopoiesis;
cell division;
shell formation nerve endings;
regulation of cholesterol levels;
protecting liver cells from all kinds of damaging factors.

The lack of this microelement in the human body threatens the development of stroke or myocardial infarction.

Vitamin 12 deficiency will also provoke:

The largest amounts of microelement 12 of group B are found in the heart, kidneys, liver and seafood. It is worth noting that not a single product plant origin does not accumulate cyanocobalamin.

Tablet vitamin

Pharmaceutical production supplies the market with B vitamins (B1, B6, and B12) in tablets. In particular, a distinction is made between drugs produced domestically and in Europe, namely:

Cyanocobalamin;
Folic acid;
Neurobion (Germany);
Nowfoods (USA);
Neurovitan (Italy).

Group B microelements (B1, B6, B12) are also present in many multivitamin complexes, but in significantly small doses that cannot satisfy daily requirement in our body when taken orally.

Purpose of reception

Prescribing vitamin B12 has the following goals:

alleviate the condition neurological disorders;
cure anemia;
eliminate affected areas of the liver.

However, the well-known advantage of microelement B12 is its unique ability to remove painful sensations in case of disease of the spine or nervous system.

Drugs that contain high concentration microelement B12 are vital for vegetarians who practice absolute abstinence from eating animal products. This behavior provokes the occurrence of persistent hypovitaminosis in the specified area. In turn, a deficiency of this element increases the risk of:

disturbances in cardiac activity;
failure in the hematopoietic system;
early strokes and heart attacks;
multiple lesions nervous system.

The instructions for use state that this vitamin should be taken one or two tablets per day during or immediately after meals. You can take the pill big amount water or put under the tongue and thus dissolve.

Nowfoods tablets

In this case we're talking about about vitamin B12, distributed in tablets from the manufacturer “Nowfoods” (USA). The drug is used:

Given medicine practiced with complex treatment infertility, diabetes, immunodeficiencies, allergic diseases.

Also, the specified microelement of group B increases the rate of redox processes, enhances cellular respiration, and normalizes muscle mass, provides the primary immune response to the introduction of infectious agents.

In this case, the instructions for use recommend taking this medication with meals, one tablet per day. Regarding contraindications, people who have an allergic reaction to any of its components should not use the drug.

Neurobion: a complex preparation

This complex drug includes vitamins B1, B6 and group 12. The drug is also available in tablets. It is worth noting that the stipulated vitamin complex Intended for people with intestinal absorption disorders. Therefore, the daily dose of microelement B12 has been increased by 20% at the indicated dosage, which has a positive effect on overcoming its deficiency.

This composition is designed in such a way as to take into account the increased need for vitamins B1 and B6, which take an active part in metabolic processes occurring in the spinal cord and brain, as well as peripheral nerve fibers. Despite the fact that our body is capable of independently producing vitamins B1 and B6 to compensate for quantitative costs, they must be supplied from outside.

As part of this drug, vitamins B1, B6, as well as B12, are prescribed for the treatment of:

intercostal neuralgia;
neuralgia trigeminal nerve;
Do not lie facial nerve;
lesions of the spinal nerves;
inflammation of the sciatic nerve.

It is not recommended to prescribe vitamins of this complex to children under 18 years of age, as well as to persons suffering from allergic reactions to any of the components included in its composition.

These vitamins complex application may cause some side effects, which include:

eczema;
convulsions;
acne.

Tablets or injections

When taking vitamin B12 by any route, the main issue is its bioavailability. If you put a tablet under your tongue that contains vitamin B12, the absorption will be slightly higher than if you simply washed it down with water. In the injectable form, absorption occurs at levels above 90%. In turn, when oral administration Vitamin B12 is absorbed at a level of 70%.

In the digestive system, for normal metabolism, vitamin B12 requires the presence of a certain protein factor in the stomach and an appropriate level of acidity in relation to gastric juice.

Taking vitamin B12 in tablets, rather than in the form of injections, eliminates pain when giving an injection. Therefore, the choice depends on the factors listed above.

Group B among all vitamins is responsible for the majority of transformative and metabolic processes in organism. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the maintenance of the required concentration of these substances and ensure their sufficient intake, both from food and from dietary supplements taken.

Vitamin B12 deficiency

The vitamin in question is the most complex molecular compound that ensures the proper oxidation of proteins and fats and allows the synthesis of amino acids. Moreover, the substance is actively involved in the formation of nerve sheaths, cell division, hematopoiesis, regulation of cholesterol levels and the functioning of liver tissue.

Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) deficiency affects all body systems:

slower growth and development of the body;
disorders of nervous activity, for example, depression, neuritis, insomnia, convulsions, weakness and;
memory impairment;
defeat of internal vascular walls due to the accumulation of homocysteine in the bloodstream, which leads to myocardial infarction.

As you can see, the substance described is a vital ingredient for health and normal operation internal organs. But this vitamin is found only in products of animal origin, mainly in the heart, kidneys, liver, and seafood. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure its additional intake into the body through medical supplies. Cyanocobalamin is often administered intravenously by injection, but recently vitamin B12 has appeared in tablets and capsules. It is especially important to pay attention to it for people with difficulty absorbing the substance, suffering from gastritis, pancreatic diseases, stomach or duodenal ulcers, Crohn's disease.

Vitamin B12 preparations

Most biologically active additives and complexes usually contain vitamin B6 and B12 in tablets, as well as other varieties of this group of substances. But, as a rule, their concentration is not sufficient to replenish daily norm, since the amount is significantly less than the body’s needs. Therefore, the modern market for domestic and foreign production offers separately cyanocobalamin or vitamin B12 in tablets:

Solgar Vitamin B12 (USA);
Nowfoods B12 (USA);
Neurovitan (Italy);
Neurobion (Germany);
cyanocobalamin and folic acid tablets (Russia).
