How Key B12 Capsule works

Methylcobalamin is an active form of vitamin B12. It supports DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation and helps maintain the myelin sheath of nerves, thereby improving nerve function in B12 deficiency.

How to take Key B12 Capsule

Capsule for oral use. Take as prescribed by the doctor, preferably after food with water; swallow whole without opening or chewing. Duration depends on deficiency/clinical response.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine is unlikely to cause serious harm, because the body passes surplus B vitamins out in the urine. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

• stomach upset
• diarrhea
• headache

Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Safety advice for Key B12 Capsule

Warnings and precautions

Use with caution if you have a history of hypersensitivity to cobalamins. In megaloblastic anemia, confirm diagnosis before treatment; folate supplementation alone can mask B12 deficiency and worsen neurological symptoms. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist or if you have severe anemia, unexplained weight loss, or neurological symptoms.

Do not take Key B12 if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack.

Interactions with other medicines

Chloramphenicol (may reduce hematologic response), metformin (long-term use may reduce B12 levels), proton pump inhibitors/H2 blockers (long-term use may reduce B12 absorption), nitrous oxide anesthesia (can inactivate B12), colchicine (may reduce absorption)

How to store Key B12 Capsule

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

Expert advice for Key B12 Capsule

A supplement corrects a deficiency; it is not a general energy tonic. If you are on it for nerve symptoms, keep your review appointment so the underlying cause is looked for.
