Vitamin B12 deficiency
Respected Doctors,
I am male, 36 years.
Height 5 feet 4 inch, weight 65.2 Kg
Yesterday I did a blood test and it shows B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 level is 68 pg/ml
Is it a big concern?
What should be done to improve it?
What foods to improve it?
I am taking below medications for knee pain, should I stop it or can take B12 related medicine along with this
Should I consult
Tab. Trioflex ( 2 times a day)
Tab. Add-on D3 ( Once a day)
Tab. Sera-DP ( 2 times a day)
Tab. Stupan-D (antacid) ( 2 times a day)
Thanks in advance!

Your vit B12 levels are very low.. it will be low because of multiple reasons.. If you are a vegetarian no need of further workup, usually vit b12 present in nonveg and milk products.. If au are taking mixed diet and still ur levels low means requires further workup..
U can take Tab.MECONERVE 1500mcg 1-0-0 for 2 months..
