Cyanocobalamin, also known as vitamin B12, is essential for red blood cell formation, nervous system function, and DNA synthesis. It is used to prevent and treat vitamin B12 deficiency, which can result from pernicious anemia, malabsorption, or an inadequate diet.

The medication is administered orally, intramuscularly, or as a nasal spray, depending on the patient's needs. The dose and frequency of administration are determined by the physician based on the severity of the deficiency. Rare side effects include allergic reactions, diarrhea, and itching.

Cyanocobalamin is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to vitamin B12 or any of its excipients. It should also be used with caution in patients with renal conditions or hypokalemia.

This supplement is essential for maintaining overall health, helping to prevent anemia and support neurological and metabolic functions.
