Vitamin B12 at 50 PG is very low . Treating the deficiency with oral medicine could take a long time to replace .In such instances injection methylcobalamine  or cyanocobalamin 1000 mcg is advised  1daily for a week and then 1 weekly for a month.Meanwhile if you have a facility around your area get your blood investigation MMA which is a definite marker of vitamin B12 deficiency.

Hello, i have Noted your concern, If you have a vitamin B12 deficiency, it can take up to six to 12 months to fully recover. Vitamin B12 deficiency is common, especially among vegetarians and older adults. Low levels of vitamin B12 can be due to not getting enough vitamin B12 in your diet or the body being unable to absorb the vitamin due to another medical condition.
Next Steps
Your medical history can help the doctors to understand your symptoms. A physical exam may also help identify the signs of B12 deficiency.
Health Tips
If your B12 deficiency is caused by a problem with absorption, you may need an injection. The injection will help the vitamin absorb directly into your body. In your case definitely IV supplement is indicated as vitamin b12 level is too low, kindly get the further evaluation done for proper treatment and management of the disease.
