The effects of a vitamin B12 shot are generally felt for at least one week, and it typically takes between 48 to 72 hours for patients to notice a response. With that being said, if your body does not readily use the vitamin B12 nutrients, they can be stored in your body for upwards of three to five years! If your body stores for vitamin B12 are full, your body will eliminate any of the nutrients it does not need through the urine, which may give your pee a pinkish hue.

Some factors that can affect how long a vitamin B12 shot lasts include alcohol or drug use, certain medications, diet, and liver issues.

Depending on your needs, you can get B12 shots daily, weekly, every other week, or once a month. Since the effects often wear off within a week for most people, the optimal time to get a B12 shot is often once a week or once every other week. When you come to Rêvée for a vitamin B12 shot, our B12 specialist can provide you with a recommendation for how often you should get a B12 shot.

Side effects from B12 typically range from non-existent to mild unless the patient is allergic to any of the injection ingredients. For this reason, an initial consultation is typically required before B12 injections are administered to avoid any allergic reactions or adverse complications. This consultation will consist of a review of your medical history, any allergies or underlying conditions you have, and any medications you are taking, among other things. With that being said, mild side effects from a B12 injection may include slight discomfort, bruising, redness, itching, tenderness, or inflammation around the injection site. However, this should not last beyond a day or two.

Yes. You will need a prescription for a B12 injection. With that being said, our medical professionals at Rêvée can both write you a B12 injection prescription and administer the injection to you, making the experience much more convenient for you.
