No. Duration is not long. taking a vitamin B12 tablet for 6 months is generally safe because B12 is water-soluble, your body removes extra amounts, and doctors often prescribe 3 to 6 months of use to treat low levels or nerve issues.
if it was given IM instead of oral B12, fewer doses may be required. even then monthly B12 IM injections would have been recommended for 6 months.
so dont think much. its safe to use.
just repeat B12 and vitamin D levels after correction
