Vitamin B12 deficiency
Hi sir/madam,
I was diagnosed with low levels of B12 in Jan 2020. I was prescribed cobalamin injections for every 3 months and mecofol plus orally 1 capsule a day. In May 2020, b12 levels were above 500. I am still having the oral medication, do I have to take the injection even if the b12 levels are decent ?

Not really.... U should continue your daily oral B12 and get yourself tested again.
