Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is a water-soluble vitamin that is derived from animal products such as red meat, dairy, and eggs. Cobalamin deficiency can be frequently seen in people all around the world. Desensitization is a treatment option if drug hypersensitivity develops and treatment is necessary. But intramuscular applications may cause treatment difficulties in such patients.
