There's a debate on efficacy and benefits of both the drugs, methylcobalamin is a natural form can be used by body directly, whereas cyanocobalamin is a little more easy to be absorbed but body has to convert it and then use, for patients with no issues with absorption and no dietary problems, methylcobalamin is better option while cyanocobalamin retains in body easily and better known to prevent B12 deficiency.
Next Steps
You need to confirm why you're having B12 deficiency in first place and about your gut health, then a physician may prescribe drugs accordingly after few tests.
