Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

Patients with severe neurological symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency require immediate treatment with an intensive regimen of cyanocobalamin over 1 month, followed by ongoing maintenance doses. Patients with mild to moderate symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency should be started and continue on maintenance-level doses of cyanocobalamin.

Most people can prevent vitamin B12 deficiency by consuming enough meat, poultry, seafood, milk, cheese, and eggs.

If you don't eat animal products or you have a medical condition that limits your absorption of nutrients, experts recommend taking a B12-containing multivitamin and eating breakfast cereal fortified with vitamin B12.

If you experience symptoms of B12 deficiency, speak to your doctor about a blood test to check B12 levels.

Hope I have answered your query.

Wishing you good health.

Regards.
