Serious vitamin B12 deficiency may result in a low number of red blood cells (anemia), stomach/intestine problems, and permanent nerve damage. Vitamin B12 deficiency may occur in certain health conditions, such as intestinal/stomach problems, poor nutrition, cancer, HIV infection, pregnancy, old age, alcoholism. It may also occur in people who follow a strict vegetarian (vegan) diet.

PRECAUTIONS
A deficiency of cyanocobalamin must be confirmed diagnostically before taking Cyanocobalamin since it can mask the lack of folic acid. During the period of treatment, it is necessary to monitor the indicators of peripheral blood: on 5-8 days of treatment, the content of reticulocytes, the concentration of iron is analysed. The number of red blood cells, hemoglobin and color index must be monitored for 1 month. 1-2 times a week, and then 2-4 times a month. Remission is achieved by increasing the number of erythrocytes to 4-4.5 million / μl, when the normal size of erythrocytes is reached and the reticulocyte content normalizes after the reticulocyte crisis. After hematologic remission is achieved, peripheral blood is monitored at least once every 4–6 months. Use caution in individuals prone to thrombosis, with angina (in smaller doses up to 100 mcg per injection).
