As a result, vitamin B12 deficiency is relatively common, especially among older people

If you had used 2 mL of water instead of 1.5, the concentration would be lower (2.5 mg/mL) and your highest dose would require 96 units, nearly the entire syringe
Without treatment, this leads to megaloblastic anaemia and potentially serious neurological complications
