Cyanocobalamin is a form of vitamin B
12 used to treat and prevent vitamin B
12 deficiency except in the presence of cyanide toxicity.[7][8][2] The deficiency may occur in pernicious anemia, following surgical removal of the stomach, with fish tapeworm, or due to bowel cancer.[9] [5] It is used by mouth, by injection into a muscle, or as a nasal spray.[5][6]

Cyanocobalamin is generally well tolerated.[10] Minor side effects may include diarrhea, nausea, upset stomach, and itchiness.[11] Serious side effects may include anaphylaxis, and low blood potassium resulting in heart failure.[11] Use is not recommended in those who are allergic to cobalt or have Leber's disease.[9] No overdosage or toxicity has been reported.[11] It is less preferred than hydroxocobalamin for treating vitamin B
12 deficiency because it has a slightly lower bioavailability. Some studies have shown it to possess an antihypotensive effect.[5] Vitamin B
12 is an essential nutrient meaning that it cannot be made by the body but is required for life.[12][10]

Cyanocobalamin was first manufactured in the 1940s.[13] It is available as a generic medication and over the counter.[5][10] In 2022, it was the 131st most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 4 million prescriptions.[14][15]
