Cyanocobalamin is a manufactured form of vitamin B
12 used to treat vitamin B12 deficiency.[1] The deficiency may occur in pernicious anemia, following surgical removal of the stomach, with fish tapeworm, or due to bowel cancer.[6] It is less preferred than hydroxocobalamin for treating vitamin B12 deficiency.[3] It is used by mouth, by injection into a muscle, or as a nasal spray.[3][4]
Cyanocobalamin is generally well tolerated.[7] Minor side effects may include diarrhea and itchiness.[8] Serious side effects may include anaphylaxis, low blood potassium, and heart failure.[8] Use is not recommended in those who are allergic to cobalt or have Leber's disease.[6] Vitamin B
12 is an essential nutrient meaning that it cannot be made by the body but is required for life.[9][7]
Cyanocobalamin was first manufactured in the 1940s.[10] It is available as a generic medication and over the counter.[3][7] In the United Kingdom it costs the NHS about £2.90 per injection as of 2019.[3] In the United States the wholesale cost of this amount was about US$0.77 in 2019.[11] In 2017, it was the 170th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than three million prescriptions.[12][13]
