Cyanocobalamin is a manufactured form of vitamin B
12 used to treat vitamin B12 deficiency.[3] The deficiency may occur in pernicious anemia, following surgical removal of the stomach, with fish tapeworm, or due to bowel cancer.[5] It is less preferred than hydroxocobalamin for treating vitamin B12 deficiency.[1] It is used by mouth, by injection into a muscle, or as a nasal spray.[1][2]
Cyanocobalamin is generally well tolerated.[6] Minor side effects may include diarrhea and itchiness.[7] Serious side effects may include anaphylaxis, low blood potassium, and heart failure.[7] Use is not recommended in those who are allergic to cobalt or have Leber's disease.[5] Vitamin B
12 is an essential nutrient meaning that it cannot be made by the body but is required for life.[8][6]
Cyanocobalamin was first manufactured in the 1940s.[9] It is available as a generic medication and over the counter.[1][6] In the United Kingdom it costs the NHS about £2.90 per injection as of 2019.[1] In the United States the wholesale cost of this amount was about US$0.77 in 2019.[10] In 2017, it was the 170th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than three million prescriptions.[11][12]
