Neo-Cytamen contains Hydroxocobalamin, a highly stable and long-acting form of Vitamin B12. Unlike Cyanocobalamin, Hydroxocobalamin binds more effectively to blood proteins, allowing it to remain in the body’s circulation for a longer duration. It is essential for the synthesis of DNA, the formation of healthy red blood cells, and the maintenance of the myelin sheath that protects nerve fibers. Without adequate B12, the body cannot produce enough oxygen-carrying cells, leading to severe fatigue and potential permanent nerve damage.
In Nigeria, Neo-Cytamen 1000mcg is the gold-standard clinical treatment for pernicious anemia and severe B12 deficiency. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure patients receive authentic, high-stability ampoules manufactured under strict sterile conditions (such as those by Waymade or Teva) and stored in light-protected environments to prevent the degradation of the sensitive cobalamin molecule.
Important: This is a prescription-only injectable medication. It must be administered by a healthcare professional via intramuscular (IM) injection. It is not for intravenous (IV) use. Before starting treatment, a clinical diagnosis of B12 deficiency must be confirmed, as taking B12 can "mask" a folate deficiency. Patients with Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy should avoid Neo-Cytamen, as it can cause rapid optic nerve atrophy.
Neo-Cytamen Injections are primarily used to:
Treat and prevent Pernicious Anemia (where the body cannot absorb B12 from food)
Manage Macrocytic Anemia (abnormally large red blood cells) caused by B12 deficiency
Provide rapid "rescue" for neurological symptoms like tingling, numbness (paresthesia), and weakness
Prevent permanent nerve damage and cognitive decline in chronic deficiency states
Treat Vitamin B12 deficiency caused by malabsorption, strict vegan diets, or gastric surgery
Support energy metabolism and reduce extreme physical and mental exhaustion
This product is suitable for:
Adults and children diagnosed with clinically confirmed Vitamin B12 deficiency
Patients with gastrointestinal disorders (like Crohn’s or Celiac disease) who cannot absorb oral vitamins
Individuals who have undergone bariatric (weight loss) or gastric surgery
Strict vegans or vegetarians who are at high risk of long-term B12 depletion
Not recommended for: Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to Hydroxocobalamin or cobalt. It is strictly contraindicated for patients with Leber’s optic atrophy. Use with caution in patients with low potassium levels (hypokalemia), as intensive B12 therapy can further lower potassium during red blood cell production.
Administered strictly by intramuscular (IM) injection by a nurse or doctor
For Loading Dose: Usually 1000mcg (1 ampoule) given 3 times a week for 2 weeks to replenish stores
For Maintenance: Usually 1000mcg given once every 2 to 3 months for life (for pernicious anemia)
The frequency of injections is highly individualized based on the severity of the deficiency and nerve involvement
Regular blood tests (Full Blood Count and B12 levels) are required to monitor the success of the treatment
Protect the ampoules from light until the moment of injection, as the red solution is light-sensitive
Neo-Cytamen is generally well-tolerated, but some individuals may experience:
Pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site
Mild diarrhea or a feeling of "swelling" in the whole body
Itching or a mild skin rash (acne-like eruptions)
Headache or dizziness
Rare but serious: Hypokalemia (low potassium) during the start of treatment
Rare: Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis)
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience difficulty breathing, a widespread itchy rash, or sudden heart palpitations after an injection.

Why can't I just take B12 tablets instead of an injection?
If you have "Pernicious Anemia," your stomach lacks the "Intrinsic Factor" needed to absorb tablets. No matter how many pills you swallow, the B12 will not enter your blood. The injection bypasses the stomach entirely to ensure your body gets the nutrients it needs.
Why is the liquid so bright red?
The red color is natural for Vitamin B12. It contains cobalt, which gives it that distinct deep red hue. It is not an artificial dye.
How soon will I feel more energetic?
While some people feel a "boost" within 24 to 48 hours, it can take several weeks for your red blood cells to fully recover and for neurological symptoms (like tingling) to significantly improve.
Where can I purchase Neo-Cytamen Injections in Nigeria?
You can fill your clinical prescription for Neo-Cytamen at Sanlive Pharmacy & Stores for guaranteed product integrity and professional pharmaceutical support.
