<p><b>New page</b></p><div>===Treatment of deficiency===<br />
Severe vitamin B<sub>12</sub> deficiency is initially corrected with daily intramuscular injections of {{value|1000|u=μg}} of the vitamin, followed by maintenance via monthly injections of the same amount or daily oral dosing of {{value|1000|u=μg}}. The daily dose is far in excess of the vitamin requirement because the normal transporter protein mediated absorption is absent, leaving only very inefficient intestinal passive absorption. Injection side effects include skin rash, itching, chills, fever, hot flushes, nausea and dizziness. Oral maintenance treatment avoids this problem and significantly reduces cost of treatment.</div>FuzzyBot
