return. In patients with severe anemia treated with vitamin B12,
low potassium levels (hypokalemia) and sudden death
may occur.
Some patients will need a weekly spray of Nascobal in their
nostril for the rest of their lives. Do not stop taking your
medication without talking to your doctor. If you stop taking
vitamin B12, anemia could return or you could develop
permanent nerve damage.
