Vitamin B12 Deficiency
I am feeling very tired. Blood test results have showed my B12 score as 90. Other parameters are normal. My doctor said this score is very low and indicates B12 deficiency and has advised me to take Optineuron injections weekly once for 5 weeks. Incidentally my colleague has B12 deficiency (with B12 score as 86) and his doctor has advised him 6 Optineuron injections alternate days. Since I have too much tiredness, is it advisable to increase the frequency of injections. I just wanted 2nd opinion. Regards Prasad

Hello..... No just  take one injection in a week..  It takes time for body  to utilize vitamin given in injection..  Some patients may experience adverse effects of this..  So be it once a week.. Vitamin deficiency is most commonly seen in vegetarian, have egg, meat,  vegetable,
