Abstract
Summary
1. A method is described for the preparation of riboflavin pellets that can be implanted in animals and in humans.

3. The riboflavin pellets implanted in a patient suffering from riboflavin deficiency brought about complete relief of relatively long duration from deficiency symptoms.
4. The method may be of practical value for patients suffering from riboflavin deficiency due to inadequate resorption, and when repeated injections are difficult to carry out.
