This design allows for convenient and controlled application on the skin, ensuring that the active ingredients are localized for optimal treatment or absorption. Cyanocobalamin, also known as Vitamin B12, is the active ingredient in this formulation. It plays a crucial role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the formation of blood.

This formulation is primarily used to treat or prevent Vitamin B12 deficiency, a condition that can lead to anemia, nerve damage, and tiredness or weakness. It is also used to treat pernicious anemia, a severe type of anemia that occurs when the body cannot absorb Vitamin B12 from food. Additionally, it can be used to treat skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, as Vitamin B12 has been shown to help reduce inflammation and boost the healing process of the skin.

Patients using this formulation should apply it to the affected area as directed by their healthcare provider. It is important to use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time each day. Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often or for longer than prescribed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and your risk of side effects will increase.

Prescribers should be aware that while Cyanocobalamin 0.07% Topical Cream is generally well-tolerated, side effects can occur.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Cyanocobalamin 0.07% Topical Cream is a formulation designed to deliver Vitamin B12, also known as Cyanocobalamin, through the skin. This formulation is particularly useful for patients who have difficulty absorbing Vitamin B12 through the digestive system, such as those with pernicious anemia or certain gastrointestinal disorders. It is also beneficial for those who have a deficiency of Vitamin B12 due to dietary restrictions or certain medications.

While Cyanocobalamin is generally safe and well-tolerated, it can interact with certain medications. For instance, certain antibiotics, such as tetracycline, can interfere with the absorption of Vitamin B12, potentially reducing the effectiveness of this topical cream. Similarly, medications used to treat acid reflux or peptic ulcers, such as proton pump inhibitors and H2 blockers, can also affect Vitamin B12 absorption. Therefore, it is important to inform your healthcare provider if you are taking any of these medications.

Furthermore, certain medications can increase the body's requirement for Vitamin B12, such as metformin, a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes, and medications used to treat epilepsy, such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, and primidone. If you are taking any of these medications, your healthcare provider may need to adjust your dose of Cyanocobalamin 0.07% Topical Cream accordingly.

It is also important to note that excessive alcohol consumption can interfere with the absorption of Vitamin B12, potentially reducing the effectiveness of this topical cream. Therefore, if you consume alcohol regularly, it is important to discuss this with your healthcare provider.

Lastly, while Cyanocobalamin is generally safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, it is always important to inform your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, as your Vitamin B12 requirements may be higher during these periods.

If you have any questions about the potential interactions of Cyanocobalamin 0.07% Topical Cream with other medications or substances, or if you have any other questions about this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Cyanocobalamin 0.07% Topical Cream is a semisolid preparation that contains Cyanocobalamin, also known as Vitamin B12, as its active ingredient. This formulation is designed to be dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for convenient and controlled application on the skin. The cream is intended for localized treatment, and the active ingredients are absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream.

The active ingredient, Cyanocobalamin, is a man-made form of Vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is essential for the body's normal synthesis of red blood cells and for the maintenance of the nervous system. When applied topically, Cyanocobalamin is absorbed through the skin and enters the bloodstream, where it is used by the body to produce red blood cells and maintain the health of nerve cells.

Topical Cyanocobalamin is often used to treat conditions associated with Vitamin B12 deficiency, such as pernicious anemia and certain types of nerve damage. It can also be used to treat skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, as Vitamin B12 has been shown to help reduce inflammation and promote healthy skin growth. In addition, it may be used to treat conditions like diabetic neuropathy, where it can help to reduce nerve pain and improve nerve function.

It's important to note that while Cyanocobalamin 0.07% Topical Cream can help to manage these conditions, it is not a cure. It is typically used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include other medications, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications. As with any medication, it's important to use this product as directed by your healthcare provider, and to discuss any questions or concerns you may have with them.

If you have any questions about Cyanocobalamin 0.07% Topical Cream, or if you would like more information about how it works, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our knowledgeable team of compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

The Cyanocobalamin 0.07% Topical Cream that we've formulated is primarily used to manage possible vitamin B12 deficiencies. However, it should be noted that this formulation might have some other potential uses as well. For patients with chronic skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, or psoriasis, the application of this cream could potentially aid in the overall skin healing and regeneration process due to the general cell repair and growth properties associated with vitamin B12.

There's also ongoing research about the potential anti-inflammatory effects of Cyanocobalamin, which may be beneficial in conditions like rosacea, acne, or other inflammatory skin conditions. Some practitioners have suggested its use in pain management, with possible effects on reducing neuropathic pain, although this is still under further investigation.

As a note of caution, it is important that patients do not use this product as a first-line treatment for these other conditions unless expressly prescribed by their healthcare professional, as the existing research is more limited for these off-label uses. It is ideal for anyone looking to utilize this formulation for drafts beyond the deficiency correction, to engage in a detailed conversation with their physician to ensure that it's appropriate for their specific health needs. Furthermore, patients should be aware that despite being a topical cream, it's still important to follow dosage instructions carefully to prevent potential side effects of excessive Vitamin B12.

Please reach out to us if you have any further questions about this formulation or consult the prescribing healthcare professional for detailed medical advice.
