1. What is Vitaminum B12-SF and what is it used for

Vitaminum B12-SF contains vitamin B in the form of cyanocobalamin (a synthetic form of the vitamin that the body converts into active vitamin B).
Most people get enough vitamin B from their diet, but if a patient has had stomach surgery, suffers from certain gastrointestinal disorders, follows a strict diet, or takes certain medications, their body may not get enough vitamin B.
Vitaminum B12-SF is used in adults in the following cases:

  • treatment of vitamin B deficiency caused by poor nutrition;
  • long-term treatment of vitamin B deficiency, e.g., due to malabsorption;
  • oral treatment of megaloblastic anemia (a specific type of anemia) and vitamin B deficiency with neurological symptoms, after achieving normal vitamin B levels in the blood with vitamin B injections. Note: In patients who require rapid achievement of normal vitamin B levels in the blood, initial treatment should be performed with vitamin B injections until remission is achieved.

2. Important information before taking Vitaminum B12-SF

When not to take Vitaminum B12-SF

  • if the patient is allergic to cyanocobalamin or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
  • if the patient has a specific type of anemia called megaloblastic anemia, which is caused solely by a lack of folic acid (vitamin B9);
  • if the patient has a condition that requires the removal of cyanide from the body (detoxification) (e.g., in megaloblastic anemia with optic neuritis). In such cases, other products containing vitamin B should be used;
  • if the patient has a vitamin B deficiency and suffers from a specific inherited eye disease (Leber's optic neuropathy);
  • if the patient has been diagnosed with a visual impairment (amblyopia) caused by smoking or drinking alcohol.

Warnings and precautions

Before starting to take Vitaminum B12-SF, the doctor or pharmacist should be consulted.
At the beginning of treatment, the patient's clinical condition must be diagnosed by a doctor to determine the cause of the deficiency. This includes checking the gastrointestinal function.
The doctor will decide whether the patient is getting enough vitamin B from food and whether oral supplementation with Vitaminum B12-SF is necessary.
Depending on the severity of the disease, the doctor will monitor the patient's response to this medicine in the first months of treatment. This will be done through blood tests. If the patient carefully follows the treatment plan, treatment may last a lifetime, depending on the underlying disease.
If the patient requires regular dialysis, the doctor should perform regular blood tests and may need to reduce the dose of Vitaminum B12-SF.
If the patient also has a folic acid deficiency, this may hinder the response to treatment. In such cases, the use of Vitaminum B12-SF should be accompanied by treatment of folic acid deficiency.

Children and adolescents

Vitaminum B12-SF should not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age, as there is insufficient clinical data, and the dose is not suitable for this age group.

  • neomycin and chloramphenicol (antibiotics);
  • cholestyramine;
  • biguanides, including metformin, used to treat diabetes;
  • aminosalicylic acid, used to treat inflammatory bowel disease;
  • long-term use of nitrous oxide (a gas used for anesthesia);
  • second-generation antipsychotic drugs used to treat mental disorders (e.g., olanzapine and risperidone).

The absorption or action of Vitaminum B12-SF may be increased by the following substances:

  • glucocorticoids, including prednisone, used to treat inflammatory conditions.
