Composition

Properties

It belongs to the group of water-soluble vitamins. It is a metabolite of cyanocobalamin. In contrast, in the hydroxocobalamin molecule, the cobalt atom is linked not to cyano, but to the hydroxy group. It is necessary for the process of hematopoiesis, the formation of epithelial cells, the functioning of the nervous system (due to the effect on myelin synthesis).

In the body, it turns into an active coenzyme form faster than cyanocobalamin. It remains in the blood longer, because more strongly binds to plasma proteins and is more slowly excreted in the urine.

B12-deficiency anemia, Leber’s disease (hereditary atrophy of the optic nerves), Addison’s pernicious anemia.

ampoule intramuscularly every other day for

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to hydroxocobalamin.

Precautions:
