Methylcobalamine: Injections once a week for six weeks comprise a typical short-term methylcobalamin injection regimen. These might need to be repeated over time. Possible side effects include tenderness at the injection site, headaches or nausea. www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-methylcobalamin-injection.htm also see: www.Healthbiotech.In/methylcobalamin-injection.Html this is a controversial area, routinely prescribed in japan while not routinely used in the us. I recommend that you see a physician who is well-versed in the use of this particular compound and ask themexactly what dose should be your used for your particular condition.As you can see from the above websites, the dosage recommendations are not etched in stone.The main thing is that your doctor should prescribe a dose that he is comfortable with and then followb12 levels from there.

Seek out cause: At your age, pernicious anemia is unusual, and would wonder about an intestinal parasite causing lack of b-12 absorption. A quest for the etiology is of value, as some autoimmune disorders may cause havoc with other organ systems. Treatment is best given via, intramuscular injections provided at least once monthly, 1, 000 mcg each. Please consult a hematologist and psychiatrist.
