It is better to do a deworming with Albendazole 800mg tablet to prevent anemia and add vitamin b12 rich foods like fish, meat and eggs, if you are a vegetarian add cereals too. And when this is not sufficient go for vitamin b12 supplements

Just tell me whether you are non vegetarian or vegetarian because dietary habits also impact the B12 levels..and you have any surgery done of stomach or any other issue.
Next Steps
you have told your b12 level is 174 that means it's too low, if you are taking tablets of methylcobalamine 1500, take it once daily for 1 month after that check your b12 levels again.

Your B12 is definitely on the lower side. Both the options you mentioned are used, but thereâs a small difference. Neurobion Forte has cyanocobalamin along with B1 and B6, which is fine but usually works better for general nerve health. Methylcobalamin (like in Carbamide Forte) is the active form and is generally absorbed and utilized better by the body.
Since you have a straightforward B12 deficiency, Iâd prefer you go with methylcobalamin. But remember, just taking tablets may not always be enough sometimes we give injections if the deficiency is significant or if symptoms are present. Further itâs important that we address why your B12 is low in the first place.
As of now, you can start methylcobalamin daily, and weâll recheck your levels in a few weeks.
Please consult with me directly so I can guide you better depending on your diet and symptoms
Next Steps
start methylcobalamin daily
Health Tips
we need to make changes in your diet too.

Firstly try to correct with dietary modification then go for supplements
Consume b12 rich food like cereals, fish, eggs, meat, tofu, mushroom
If there's any symptoms like hyperpigmentation of knuckles, numbness then take methylcobalmine 1500mcg one tablet in the afternoon
Kindly connect with me on practo for complete evaluation

Get folate levels checked along with a complete hemogram. Wouldn't recommend taking B12 supplement directly as it's not recommended. Contact for further information
