Patient/caregiver was educated on precautions to be exercised while taking Cyanocobalamin as follows:
- Do not take Cyanocobalamin, if you ever manifested any allergic responses to intake of the Cyanocobalamin or any preparations containing cobalt. In the event of history of an allergic response with the Cyanocobalamin or any preparations containing cobalt, check with your physician regarding your safety with intake of Cyanocobalamin.
- Take the Cyanocobalamin supplement at the same time, every day, to avoid forgetting the intake of medication. Taking the supplement at regularly spaced intervals help maintain appropriate blood levels of Cyanocobalamin needed to derive the beneficial effects.
- Oral Cyanocobalamin intake, especially on empty stomach, can result in common general constitutional symptoms such as, nausea and vomiting. Taking dose of Cyanocobalamin with a glass of water, after having some food or a snack can help avoid having unpleasant gastrointestinal symptoms with the medication.
- If you miss a dose, try taking it at the earliest notice of noncompliance. If it is time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and take the dose scheduled. Do not take an extra dose to try making up for the missed dose. Notify your doctor and other health care personnel regarding your dose noncompliance.
