If you have been advised by your Dr that you need to take these shots, I would ask your Dr.

Yes, please call your doctor if it isn't on the bottle. Everyone is different, so please do NOT go by what someone else is taking. You could harm yourself.

Just for your reference a cc is the same as a ml so 1 cc = 1 ml. The insert with the B-12 vial and on the prescription bottle will have your dosage. If you are uncertain, call your doctor or pharmacist to verify.

I know what my dosage is but don't know if every doc prescribes the same amount.

please call your dr for this information....this is never the place to ask how a prescription should be measured.....good luck

My pharmacist showed me & hubby. My dr had a larger syringe ordered for my injections, the pharmacist gave me smaller needles and told/showed us how much to draw up on the smaller syringe.

Please consult your doctor/nurse/pharmacist for this info as everyone elses order may be different from your own. I take my shots once a month; I know of another person who takes it more often.
