Please share the actual B12 value and the lab report; treatment depends on the severity and cause of deficiency.
A 1000 mcg B12 injection is commonly used for marked deficiency or malabsorption, but the schedule should be confirmed by a doctor rather than repeated on your own.
Vitamin D 60,000 IU every 2 weeks should also follow the measured level and calcium/kidney status.
Please consult or book on Practo with the report so I can tailor the plan.
Next Steps
Check CBC, folate, ferritin, thyroid and renal profile as appropriate; also review diet, gastritis, metformin or acid-suppressant use.
Your B12 level of 174 is well below the normal range, so the injection and vitamin D your doctor already started make sense. B12 deficiency usually needs more than one round of treatment to correct, and how much more you need depends on how severe it was and what caused it.
Next Steps
Continue the B12 injections and vitamin D as your doctor has planned, and ask for a repeat B12 level after a few weeks to check the response. Your report also shows your cholesterol and triglycerides are higher than ideal, which is worth raising at the same visit.
