Vitamin B12 injection
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You are concerned about getting a Vitamin B 12 injection into a vein. Well many years ago doctors were giving Vitamin b 12 boosters via IV route. It usually caused immediate flushing and sweet taste in the tongue. It only lasts about 30-60 minutes. There are no harmful effects from giving vitamin B12 into a vein. It now only administered Subcutaneously or deep intramuscular.
