Vitamin b12 deficiency
I am b12 deficienct! Doctor prescribed me b complex tablets! My question is that why I am asked to take b complex when I am just deficienct in b12. Can I take b12 alone rather than taking b complex?
Normally we test for only vitamin B12 but other vitamin b complex also.similarly correlate. Also vit b is water soluble which means no toxicity occurs. So it's better to take Vitamin B Complex. Your doctor is right

Please try to consult your doctor and clarify your doubt that why he prescribed many vitamins instead of b12 component alone.
