The current level of vitamin B12 matters here. Please mention that . Also if you have this type of problem for many years it is advisable to take intramuscular injection for quick recovery as Oral tablets might take long period of time and you would have to be consistent if taking the tablets daily.
Please contact if you need any further guidance on dose of the intramuscular injection or any tablet preference.
Next Steps
Consultant doctor for vit B12 level and dose of intramuscular or oral vit B12.

Sometimes oral medicine may not get absorbed and inspite of taking for months, the levels do not rise. Hence intramuscular pre filled Inj are preferred. We can help you with the proper prescription once we get your details for registration at Omega Healthcare Solutions.

Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
I understand your concern â Vitamin B12 deficiency is quite common and can cause weakness, tingling, fatigue, or even mood changes, but the good news is it can be corrected effectively with supplements.
â
Advices
⢠Include natural B12-rich foods like eggs, dairy products, fish, and lean meat (if non-vegetarian).
⢠Vegetarians can rely more on fortified cereals, milk, and supplementation.
⢠Maintain a balanced diet with enough protein to help absorption.
ð What to Monitor
⢠Watch for improvement in energy levels, reduced numbness/tingling, and better concentration after treatment.
⢠Keep an eye on symptoms like persistent fatigue, dizziness, or mood swings â these may indicate ongoing deficiency.
ð Management
For Vitamin B12 deficiency, supplements are usually required:
Tablet Mecobalamin (Methylcobalamin) 1500 mcg once daily OR
Tablet Cyanocobalamin 1000 mcg once daily
These are safe oral forms and help restore B12 levels. In severe cases, injectable B12 may be prescribed after reviewing your reports.
ð¨ When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
⢠If you experience persistent numbness or tingling in hands/feet.
⢠If weakness is severe or you develop difficulty in walking.
⢠If symptoms do not improve despite taking supplements.
âï¸ The exact dose and duration should be tailored based on your blood test reports and overall health.
ð You can reach out to me directly for this case, and also connect with me in future for any medical consultation.
I am available on Practo or on WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven for a one-on-one consultation, where youâll receive:
âï¸ A personalized B12 treatment plan (oral vs injection, depending on severity)
âï¸ Diet advice for long-term correction
âï¸ Regular follow-up to ensure your levels normalize
Take care, wishing you good health.
Best regards,
Dr. Romain Rajan
