Hydroxo Vitamin B12 Injection 1mg/1mL – Pack of 3 Ampoules

Hydroxo Vitamin B12 Injection contains hydroxocobalamin, a clinically used form of vitamin B12 for the treatment and prevention of medically diagnosed vitamin B12 deficiency. Each ampoule delivers 1 mg (1000 micrograms) of hydroxocobalamin in a 1 mL sterile solution, suitable for intramuscular administration by a qualified healthcare professional.

Vitamin B12 is essential for healthy red blood cell formation, nerve function, and DNA synthesis. Injectable hydroxocobalamin is typically chosen when oral absorption is inadequate or when deficiency is severe, rapid correction is needed, or a prescriber specifically recommends injectable therapy.

This pack contains three sterile, single-use ampoules, designed for professional administration and compliant storage in clinical environments.
