I'm getting vitamin b12 injections.i've had 5.i per week.. now 3 monthly.doctor said i can try sublingual b12 under tongue.can i still get injections?

Please do what your: doc says. If you use sublingual B 12 I don't see any necessity for shots for the average person. If you swallow B 12 you will still need shots because oral B 12 is not nearly as well metabolized as sublingual. Peace and good health.
