A member asked:
What meds are available for b12 deficiency? what are side affect of each? (injectible meds my b12 levels were 169). thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Methylcobalamin: Injectable B12 is the surest way to increase your B12 levels. Injections are usually administered weekly, but i occasionally prescribe them on a daily basis. Methylcobalamin is the most bio-available form of b12, but is slightly more expensive than the traditional cyancobalamin form. Sublingual methylcobalamin is the next most effective way to restore tissue B12 levels. No adverse effects.
