Q & A

What is the recommended amount of B12 injection for small dog of 14 lbs? Want to figure how many dosages per bottle. Thanks.?
-
Cyanocobalamin Injection 1000mcg/ml is available in 1ml,multiple-dose, sterile vials for administration. According to Plumb’s Veterinary Handbook, a common recommended dose for injectable cyanocobalamin for treating B12 deficiency is 25mcg/kg. A 14 pound dog is equivalent to approximately 6.4 kilogram (kg). A 6.4kg dog would then require 160mcg or 0.16 ml per dose. Since the vials are 1ml each, one vial would be about 6 doses. Dosage and frequency of administration may vary based on the individual pet and prescriber. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that if a multi-dose vial has been opened or accessed (e.g., needle-punctured) the vial should be dated and discarded within 28 days unless the manufacturer specifies a different (shorter or longer) date for that opened vial. Please consult with your veterinarian for further questions about Cyanocobalamin injections and whether the product is appropriate for your pet.

My question is are these 1ML vials supposed to only be half full or is that a wrong? I get my 1ml vials of b12 from a local pharmacy for my cat and I've recently noticed that some of the bottles look only 1/2 full and some only half or less than half full. The reason I looked to begin with is the first RX I had received gave me maybe 3 - .25ML shots. The 2nd bottle I only got 2/.25 ml shots out of it as his dose is .25 ml. Does that sound right to you? I'm thinking I should be getting 4 .25 ml shots out of a 1 ML bottle.?
-
There should be 1 mL contained in each vial. The liquid in the vial may not fill the entire vial and may look partially full. It may difficult to extract 100% of the solution from the vial using the syringe. As such, you may not be able to obtain 4 full doses of 0.25 mL from each vial.

You are of course familiar with the cute little sizes in non english/american but I'm not. I use 1 ml little vials to inject b-12 because I'm not making enough to suit my body. Is the price for ten injections? of 1ml, and/or is that for the big bottle??
-
The products sold here are intended for non-human use only. The price listed is for one 1 mL vial of 1000 mcg/mL strength. The amount of injections contained in each vial is dependent upon the dosing requirements of the animal as determined by your veterinarian. Contact your veterinarian to determine the appropriate dose of this medication.

Why is this so much more expensive than 100ml bottle of injectible B-12??
-
There are some slight differences between these products that could account for the difference in price. The cyanocobalamin Injection, 1000mcg/mL comes in smaller 1mL vials so it may cost more to package this medication. Also, the cyanocobalamin medication is approved for use in humans as well and has some slight differences in ingredients compared to the 100mL bottle of injectable B-12, which could affect cost. The 100mL bottle of injectable B-12 is for use in animals only and it is only in one bigger vial, so it may cost less to package. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.
