In case of Overdose
Significant toxicity is unlikely as vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin, and excess amounts are generally excreted through urine. However, in rare cases, very high doses may lead to mild side effects such as headaches, nausea, diarrhea, or skin reactions like itching and rashes.
