According to the results of an observational study in 15 people injected intravenously with a dose of 100 mg pantothenate in the form of calcium or sodium salts, no significant changes in blood pressure, pulse, temperature or respiratory rate were observed. Vitamin B1 when administered intravenously at a dose of 125mg/kg can be toxic to rats or dogs using a dose of 350mg/kg. However, when used orally, the toxic dose can be 40 times higher than that of the parenteral route. Vitamin B2 is almost non-toxic. When tested with 10g/kg for rats and 2g/kg for dogs, no toxicity was found. Vitamin B6 when used in high doses from 3 to 4g/kg can cause convulsions or death in animals. However, when using lower doses, the effect may not be apparent. Vitamin B12 was not toxic at a dose of 1.6g/kg when administered intravenously in rats. In the clinical field, vitamin B12 injection is painless and does not cause reactions at the injection site.
