I know we have gone over this before, but can you give us a phone

number to buy hydroxy in Canada? And is it priced more or less in

line with McGuff? Thanks.

Docs,

You might consider Key Company's Folic/B12. The B12 is on resin that

increases absorption typically very difficult for B12I(that's why injections

work so well). I understand that this product is about 50% absorbable which

is very good for oral administration. Steve Lumsden

Thanks for the easy differential info. cyno vs hydro. My .02--get

perservative free.

in hospital I kept reacting and come to find out the chemical

perservative is also used as pesticide. I did research on the chemical

the pharmacy told me was in the injection, albeit after the fact.

I use 1000mcg once a week sublingually and find that this is adequate for majority of patients

We currently rec. 1000 mcg vitamin B12 sublingually twice per week. We were

finding many low normal levels and were afraid of people becoming low before

they came back for follow-up. We are just starting to assess preop B12 stores.

I have a pre-op woman with a B12 level of 938 (high). However, her MCV and MCH levels are normal and she is not taking any supplements. Why would her B12 level be elevated? I usually see post-op pt's with elevated B12 secondary to taking a B12 supplement or MV. Could this indicate a folate deficiency? We usually do not measure folate pre-op.

In addition to pts receiving supplements, serum B12 may also be elevated in pts with liver disease/liver cancer elevated WBC, leukemia, or other myeloproliferative disorders. Is the pt taking a MVI? Oddly enough they don't always consider a vitamin to be a supplement.

I would go easy. I take them sublingually but you need a lot more that

way. I would start of with a half dose of even less to begin.

Compounding Pharmacy. It's in pre-filled syringes (0.05 or 0.1 ml).

I don't know B12 of Fiorentini, please try to contact this pharmacy

Mb12 is in syringes. It is produced in consultation with Dr Tyrus

Shmit from Coastal. I assume (did not check) the suplier is the same

as for Coastal.

Once I get the first delivery (next week) I am going to check the

ingredients.

Maybe somebody from Italy will say on the quality as they use it for

about 2 months.

Suggested reference, " Vitamin B12 Deficiency, " C. Oh, in

American Family Physician, Vol 67, No.5, March 1, 2003.

There is evidence to support the existence of an alternative system

for the absorption of B12 that is independent of intrinsic factor or

even an intact terminal ileum. Approximately 1 percent of a large

oral dose of B12 is absorbed by this second mechanism.

(See Elia M., " Oral or parenteral therapy for B12 Deficiency " .

Lancet 1998;352:1721-2. Citation.

Lederle FA. " Oral cobalamin for pernicious anemia. Medicine's best

kept secret? " JAMA 1991;265:94-95.

Taken from the reference by Oh:

The initial oral replacement dose is a single daily dose of 1000 to

2000mcg. This high dose is required because of the variable

absorption of oral vitamin B12 in doses of 500mcg or less. This

regimen has been shown to be safe, cost-effective, and well

tolerated by patients.

Hope this is helpful.

As an addendum to oral dosage:

The initial dose of 1000 to 2000mcg/day is given daily for one to

two weeks, followed by 1000mcg daily for life (maintenance dose).

Thanks for your post Adrienne.

I have the same concerns and also would like information

about where you are having your prescription filled and the

cost.

At present, I give myself injections twice weekly and

will do a third if I am in a stressful time. It has a

calming effect and makes a huge difference.

Thanks, Joyce

I haven't seen it, but I heard there was also a B12 patch.

B12

Does anyone have experience with nasal B12 (Nasocobal)?

I have a pt who hates the sublingual B12, MD does not want to have to

give injections, but the patient is deficient.

Thanks

We use Nascobal as an option for our patients; however, the only problem I see with it is that they have to remember to take it once a week. I tell them to mark the calendar so that they won't forget! When they do take it it seems to work well. Judy Carty, RD St. Francis Hospital Hartford, CT

B12 gives you energy! It really does. Give it a try and after about a week or so, you should start noticing a better feeling of all-around better health. It comes in a sublingual form and that's the one I take. It's a slower release and goes right into my blood stream. My grandmother really believed in it and I think she was right. Deborah
