Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Cyanocobalamin 0.07% Topical Lotion is a specially formulated product designed for external application to the skin. This formulation is either liquid or semi-liquid in nature, providing a smooth and easily spreadable consistency. It is designed to offer moisturizing, soothing, or therapeutic effects for specific skin conditions, while promoting absorption of active ingredients for localized treatment.

The active ingredient in this formulation is Cyanocobalamin, a synthetic form of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 plays a crucial role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the formation of blood. It is involved in the metabolism of every cell of the human body, especially affecting DNA synthesis and regulation, but also fatty acid synthesis and energy production. As a topical lotion, Cyanocobalamin can be used to treat certain skin conditions related to vitamin B12 deficiency.

Topical Cyanocobalamin has been shown to be effective in the treatment of eczema and psoriasis, two common skin conditions characterized by inflammation, itching, and scaling. It can help to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and alleviate symptoms such as itching and redness. In addition, it can also be used to treat skin lesions associated with vitamin B12 deficiency, such as angular cheilitis, a condition characterized by inflammation of the corners of the mouth.

It's important to note that while Cyanocobalamin 0.07% Topical Lotion can help to manage symptoms and promote healing, it is not a cure for these conditions. It should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, under the supervision of a healthcare provider. As with any medication, it's important to use this product as directed, and to report any side effects or adverse reactions to your healthcare provider immediately.

For patients and prescribers wanting to use this formulation, it's important to understand that individual responses may vary, and that optimal results are typically achieved with consistent use over time. It's also important to note that while this product is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects such as skin irritation or allergic reactions. If you have any questions about this formulation, or if you would like more information, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Cyanocobalamin, also known as Vitamin B12, is an essential vitamin that plays a crucial role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and the formation of red blood cells. In a topical lotion form, it is often used to treat skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and certain forms of dermatitis. It may also be used to promote wound healing and skin regeneration.

While Cyanocobalamin is generally considered safe for topical use, it's important to be aware of potential interactions with other medications. Certain drugs, such as Chloramphenicol, used to treat bacterial infections, can affect the body's ability to absorb and use Vitamin B12. Therefore, it's important to inform your healthcare provider if you are currently taking this medication. Similarly, medications that reduce stomach acid, such as proton pump inhibitors and H2 blockers, can also affect Vitamin B12 absorption when taken orally, although this is less likely to be a concern with topical application.

Other medications that may interact with Cyanocobalamin include anti-seizure medications, such as phenobarbital and phenytoin, and certain medications used to treat gout, such as colchicine. These medications can decrease the absorption or increase the removal of Vitamin B12 in the body, potentially reducing its effectiveness. If you are taking any of these medications, it's important to discuss this with your healthcare provider.

It's also worth noting that alcohol can reduce the absorption of Vitamin B12, so it's advisable to avoid excessive alcohol consumption while using this topical lotion. Similarly, certain dietary supplements, such as folic acid or potassium supplements, can affect the body's ability to use Vitamin B12, so it's important to inform your healthcare provider if you are taking these or any other supplements.

While this is not an exhaustive list of potential drug interactions, it highlights the importance of discussing your current medication regimen with your healthcare provider before starting any new treatment, including Cyanocobalamin 0.07% Topical Lotion. This will help to ensure that the treatment is safe and effective for you. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Cyanocobalamin 0.07% Topical Lotion is a specially formulated product that is designed to be applied externally to the skin. The active ingredient in this formulation is Cyanocobalamin, also known as Vitamin B12, which is essential for the normal functioning of the brain, nerves, and the production of red blood cells in the body. In this formulation, Cyanocobalamin is present in a concentration of 0.07%, which is carefully chosen to provide effective treatment while minimizing the risk of side effects.

The lotion is a liquid or semi-liquid formulation that is designed to be easily spreadable on the skin. It provides moisturizing, soothing, or therapeutic effects for specific skin conditions, while promoting absorption of the active ingredient, Cyanocobalamin, for localized treatment. The lotion base also helps to create a barrier on the skin surface, which helps to retain moisture and protect the skin from environmental irritants.

When applied to the skin, the Cyanocobalamin in the lotion is absorbed through the skin layers and into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, it is transported to the cells where it is needed. Cyanocobalamin works by helping the body to use fats and carbohydrates for energy and to make new protein. It is also needed for normal blood, cells, nerves, and DNA production.

Topical Cyanocobalamin has been used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis. It can also be used to treat skin symptoms related to Vitamin B12 deficiency, such as hyperpigmentation, hair changes, vitiligo, and angular stomatitis. It is important to note that while topical Cyanocobalamin can help to manage these conditions, it is not a cure and should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan under the supervision of a healthcare provider.

As compounding pharmacists at Bayview Pharmacy, we are knowledgeable about the formulation and use of Cyanocobalamin 0.07% Topical Lotion. We are available to answer any questions you may have about this product, whether you are a patient or a prescriber. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you need more information.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

While Cyanocobalamin 0.07% Topical Lotion is primarily used for the treatment of specific skin conditions due to its ability to provide moisture, soothe the skin, and promote the absorption of active ingredients for localized treatment, it has potential for usage in a broader context. Cyanocobalamin, a form of vitamin B12, is essential for various bodily functions including nerve function and the production of DNA and red blood cells. This topical formulation may, therefore, be beneficial for patients with vitamin B12 deficiencies, aiding in maintaining healthy nerve cells and preventing anemia.

Emerging research suggests that topical Cyanocobalamin may have beneficial effects in eczema and other inflammatory skin disorders. Its anti-inflammatory properties can aid in the reduction of inflammation, itching, and redness caused by these conditions. Though primarily designed for skin application, the lotion's potential therapeutic benefits might extend to scalp health, particularly in relieving symptoms associated with scalp psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis, providing a soothing relief.

In addition, the lotion can also be used as a bolster treatment in individuals suffering from peripheral neuropathy, a condition that causes weakness, numbness, and pain from nerve damage, usually in the hands and feet. The transdermal absorption of vitamin B12 could be a beneficial alternative or supplement to oral or injectable forms, particularly in patients with absorption issues.

It is, however, crucial to consult with a healthcare provider before beginning any new treatment protocol. The concentration of Cyanocobalamin in this formulation is specific and utilization for any off-label use should be guided by a healthcare professional. If you have any questions concerning the uses, benefits, or potential applications of Cyanocobalamin 0.07% Topical Lotion, we encourage you to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists will be more than willing to provide comprehensive information to suit your needs.
