Hydroxocobalamin B12 injections at Trafford Clinic, walking distance from Firswood.
Walking distance from Firswood.
Firswood is a 5–10 minute walk from Trafford Clinic for vitamin B12 injections — the M16 streets between Seymour Grove and Warwick Road sit right next to the clinic, so most appointments don't even need a car. The clinic operates from Empire Pharmacy (GPhC premises 1123966), led by independent prescriber Haroon Iqbal. We use UK-licensed hydroxocobalamin intramuscularly: loading is typically 6 IM injections over 2 weeks for confirmed deficiency, pernicious anaemia, or long-term metformin / PPI-related depletion, then maintenance every 2–3 months. If you haven't been tested in the last 6 months, serum B12 confirmation is included.
Walking distance for Firswood residents
If you live on Northumberland Road, Henrietta Street, Shrewsbury Street, or Warwick Road, the clinic is a 5–10 minute walk via Seymour Grove — useful for the loading-dose schedule when you're back twice a week for two weeks. Free patient parking on-site if you'd rather drive.
The hydroxocobalamin schedule
Loading: 6 intramuscular injections over 2 weeks (typically Mon/Wed/Fri then Mon/Wed/Fri). Maintenance: 1 IM injection every 2–3 months thereafter for confirmed B12 deficiency, pernicious anaemia, vegan dietary deficiency, or long-term metformin / PPI-related depletion. Hydroxocobalamin is the UK-licensed form (not cyanocobalamin) because it stays in circulation longer.
Confirming deficiency first
If you haven't had a serum B12 test in 6 months, we'll draw to a UKAS-accredited lab before starting the loading course — results in 24–48 hours.
