Cardiovascular (Heart and Blood Vessel) Complications In rare but serious cases, B12 replacement can lead to heart and blood vessel problems: Shortness of breath Peripheral edema (swelling in legs and arms) Rapid weight gain Pulmonary edema (fluid in lungs) Congestive heart failure (heart cannot pump effectively) Blood clots in vessels These complications arise from increased blood volume, thicker blood, and sudden changes in how hard the heart needs to work
This enhanced blood flow supports tissue regeneration and accelerates recovery time
This prevents the medication from breaking down and losing its effectiveness
Adult Dosing Dosage may vary based on different medical indications: For the initial treatment of vitamin B12 deficiency, the usual dose is 1000mcg SC/IM, given once a day for 1 week, followed by 1 dose a week for 1 month
