Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Hello Doctors, I got to know from my blood test report that my Vitamin B12 is 174 pg/mL (Lab reference: 211-912 pg/mL). Should I take injections for this deficiency or would 2 tablets of Neurobion Forte in a day for a month be sufficient to cure this deficiency?

Depends on if you have any symptoms, severity of the symptoms. If no symptoms or mild, tablet is good enough. If much discomfort, take injection for rapid recovery.

B12 174 pg/mL borderline low hai, isse injection ki zarurat nahi â oral 1500 mcg methylcobalamin daily 2-3 mahine bilkul kaafi hai, absorption oral se bhi achha hota hai. Injection mainly tab lagate hain jab numbness/tingling ho, severe anaemia ho ya malabsorption/pernicious anaemia ho. Neurobion Forte me B12 sirf 15 mcg hai, wo is level ke liye kamzor dose hai.
Next Steps
Methylcobalamin 1500 mcg roz subah khaali pet 3 mahine lijiye, saath me CBC aur vitamin D bhi karwa lijiye. 3 mahine baad B12 repeat karaiye. Haath-pair me sunnapan ya jhunjhuni ho to phir injection wala course start karna padega.

Levels this low is preferably treated with Injectable B12.

Your B12 level of 174 does need correcting, but whether you need injections or tablets depends on your symptoms. Please take this result back to whoever ordered the test rather than dosing yourself based on what worked for someone else.
