First time getting B12 injections – what timing and prep should I follow?

Posted by coastal_chemist in Beginner Questions - 1 points, 0 comments.

I just started getting methylcobalamin injections from a teleclinic after a recommendation, but I'm a bit nervous about what the protocol actually means and how to read it. The doc wrote a 50‑day repeat schedule with 1500 mcg each week, but I'm unsure if that means once a week or twice. I've seen terms like "as needed" and "maintenance" and I'm not sure which applies.

Also, the supply came in a vial that says llegada "reconstitute with 10 mL of sterile water." I've never handled a syringe like that before. I’d love to know the step‑by‑step on how to re‑mix, what volume I should inject, and whether I should do it in the morning or eveningweights, because I read that B12 late can cause restlessness. Any straightforward advice from someone who's been through the first cycle would be great.
