How Should I Give B12 Shots?

B12 (cyanocobalamin) shots are commonly administered to children as a treatment for anaemia, as well as a vital nutrient in development. B12 shots should contain 25mg/ml methylcoblamin, preservative, with a dose of 64.5 mcg/kg every three days administered to the buttocks, using prefilled BD 3/10cc insulin syringes. When injecting, make sure not to pinch the fat, which might prevent a subcutaneous injection from working. The angle should also not be made too steep, and the outer quadrant of the buttocks should be used to avoid damaging the sciatic nerve. Shots should also not hurt the child as much if proper anaesthetic cream is applied to the area before injection.

1:Divide one half of your bottom into four equal parts.
2:Go to the upper outer square or quardrant as Blurto states.
3:Be sure to pull back on the plunger,  the part that pushes the medicine in, to make sure you are not in a blood vessle.

If you get a blood return, Do not gove the injection. You'll have to pull out and try again.

Hi celia!

Don't give shots - they have Vitamin B-12 patches now.  Be sure to look into it!!
