Hi sir
Tablets or injection vary according to the severity of deficiency.
Morning, before breakfast would do the trick. You may take upto 30 days orally, one every morning before breakfast.

Vit 12 injections are suitable for severe cases, as there is faster and higher absorption. Tablets are o.k. for mild cases.
Vit b12 Tablets should be taken before a meal or 2 hours after.

Good evening sir _/\_
Hope your doing well 🍀
Vitamin b12 tablets and injection has almost same level of drug absorption and effects
We prescribe depending on patient..it varies.we need to review patient ( vit b12 levels,pathologies,other drug intake, sensorium of patient)
Let me know why you are taking vitamin b12 sir
1.If your taking as regular basis to compensate daily routines then i suggest you to take
Vitamin b12 tablets OD( once a day at afternoon before consuming food ) sir
I don't recommend multivitamins sir
I strongly recommend you diet (if your non-vegetarian)
2.if your are taking other drugs which causes anemia then you must add on vitamin tablets
3.get done with vitamin b12 levels.
150 is normal .but false high values are seen if your alcoholic.
Take injections only if you have mod to severe deficiency
Some of the symptoms of b12 deficiency are
Breathlessness (difficulty in breathing, on climbing stairs or dng work or at rest)
Tingling (crawling of insects)and numbness sensation (peripheral neuropathy)
Confusion
Memory disturbances
Fatigue(body pains )
Some signs like
Hyperpigmentation of knuckles
Jaundice
Just a point to let you know
Our students often take vitamin b12 capsules due to inadequate nutrients from hostel food and memory 😀
If your asking on behalf of any pregnant women take IFA consulting a obs specialist sir
I suggest you to follow the orders of the prescribed doctor
And get consultancy from your trusted doctor
Thank you sir 😀

Best time to take B12 tablet is in the morning empty stomach with water.
Because food, caffeine decreases it's absorption.
