A member asked:
In the event that you are diagnosed with anemia and put on treatment with ferrimed. should you be taking vitamin b12 as well?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Anemia : There are several types of anemia. The most common type is iron deficiency. If it is iron decency anemia then Ferrimed would help. It is rare to have two types of anemia at the same time, but I have seen patients with B12 and iron deficiency. The treatment of anemia, therefore, is dependent on the diagnosis. Unless someone has a b12 deficiency it is not indicated

No harm: Taking B12 will not do any harm. You may wish to take a multivitamin tablet rather than just B12. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Wish you good health!
