Yes, this dose is safe B12 injections like methylcobalamin 1500 mcg are commonly used, especially when levels are low. Your levels are still borderline, so proper follow up and maintenance are important. Please book a consultation so I can guide you on the right dosing schedule and long term plan.

It is safe. Your current b12 levels are borderline low, you can just continue with tab neurobion forte one daily for 4 weeks.
Take more of berries, nuts, milk and milk products, eggs, mushrooms, whole grains, soya.

It is completely safe to receive a 1500 mcg Methylcobalamin injection even after a prior intensive course. Vitamin B12 is water-soluble, meaning your body absorbs what it needs and safely excretes any excess through urine. Moving from a level of <100 pg/mL in August to 240 pg/mL in December shows progress, but since 240 pg/mL is still on the lower end of the normal range, a maintenance dose every three months is a standard and safe clinical practice."
Next Steps
you can relax—the medicine is safe and your doctor's plan to space out the shots is exactly right.
Book a consultation if you feel any new nerve-related symptoms so we can make sure your levels are staying in the high-normal range."
