You can take either of them.
But it is better to ask this question from the doctor who recommended this injection.
You may take it IM because it is easier to administer.

Yes you can take any brand of methylcobalamaine injection if renerve plus is not available. 1 amp IM (ast) means one ampoule injection intramuscular that means in muscle of shoulder or buttocks ast means after doing sensitivity test to find if you are allergic to the injection
