hey Hydroxocobalamin injections - this is a form of B12. It is injected into a muscle every two to four days. After about six injections, the patient should have a good store of B12. In the majority of cases, the patient will notice significant improvements in symptoms soon after receiving injections. but I cannot suggest drug and dosage here ,you have to consult physician .
