Vitamin B12 deficiency
Hi, my vitamin B12 was very low so my doctor suggested I take an injection, which I have been taking, so far I have taken 4 injections and the last one I'll take in 2-3 days. I wanted to know if I should get a blood test done again to know if my vitamin b12 is increased or if I should visit the doctor again.

If it were to be VIT B12 deficiency 4 injections are not at all sufficient
You might need regular injections
It's a lifetime replacement
No need get the levels checked
Take regular injections as prescribed by your doctor
T. Neurokind OD 1500 mcg you have to keep under your tongue. It will directly get absorbed to blood.
You can use it daily once a day along with injections. That might reduce the no of injections you need to take
