I've been doing methyl b-12 injections now for the past couple of months or so, IM.
I spoke to the pharmacist recently and we talked about the injections in general. I said that often times, urine was pink for several hours after the injection, the he suggested that a subcutaneous (fat) injection might be better as I was likely eliminating much of the injection by IM route.
I said to him though, that the journal articles related to b-12/ALS noted an IM route to which he responded, "that's just the most common way of doing an injection" although added that a subcutaneous injection might be a much better way to go and directed me towards this article.
I would be curious to hear any comments.
Thanks
