There are many different symptoms of this deficiency
What is MIC+B12
The 0.9% benzyl alcohol concentration serves a critical function: it inhibits the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms that could contaminate the solution after the vial septum has been punctured
A 2-second alcohol swab prevents weeks of contamination risk
Solutions: Use a higher concentration with smaller reconstitution volume, which does not actually solve the stability issue since the same amount of time passes Start at a higher dose point if your protocol allows (only if you have already titrated up with a smaller vial) Consider aliquoting into smaller sterile vials and freezing portions for later use (reduces contamination risk to the main vial) Share the reconstitution timing with your dosing schedule, only reconstituting when you are at a dose where you will use the vial within 28-60 days For researchers at 10 mg or 15 mg weekly, the 60 mg vial is perfect
