Do Vitamin B12 supplements have side effects?

My face felt very dry and red the same day I started taking these supplements. The bottle said that slight irritation could occur by won't last.. Then after having problems breathing today I decided to lookin into it more. And this is what I found.....





Dermatologic: Itching, rash, transitory exanthema, and urticaria have been reported. Vitamin B12 (20 micrograms/day) and pyridoxine (80mg/day) has been associated with cases of rosacea fulminans, characterized by intense erythema with nodules, papules, and pustules. Symptoms may persist for up to 4 months after the supplement is stopped, and may require treatment with systemic corticosteroids and topical therapy.

Do Vitamin B12 supplements have side effects?
Vitamin B12 is also essential for health, try getting B12 through the diet, maybe it won't be as harsh. My family uses B12 %26amp; hasn't yet seen those side effects, maybe try changing brands?
Reply:take 2000 mg a day with zero problems..............................


so maybe you read into things or should ask physician.





I am better with it than without it.
Reply:Vitamin B supplements in general, especially those that contains Niacin can cause flushing of the skin. I would say that you might try a B complex without Niacin (B3) or a "No Flush" Niacin.





If you have breathing problems, I would quit taking immediately.
Reply:i used to take vitamin B complex .. so i gain 7 kg in two months .. but without any shown side effect :)
