Vitamin B12 injections
We offer Vitamin B12 injections here at the pharmacy. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to oxygen not being carried as well by your red blood cells. This can result in a condition called anemia, with symptoms including fatigue, lack of concentration, lack of energy, and sometimes headaches. Vitamin B12 deficiency has also been linked to osteoporosis in women.
The Vitamin B12 injections we offer will quickly boost these levels. If you have a concern about whether or not your levels of B12 are low, we can also test for this with a simple blood test. See the Blood Testing section for more details.
