General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello, I really appreciate your concern. Fear of injections are very common. You can take oral neurobion tablets in stead of injection but absorption from oral drug varies from person to person. In case of intramuscular injection, drug is 80-90% absorbed. In case of oral preparation it can vary from 10-40%. There is no precise estimation of tablets in replacement of injections. I would like to ask you for what indications you heave been prescribed with injections. Injections are for urgent absorption and effect. In short, you should take neurobion tablet at least for 15 days for replacement of 1 injection.
Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.
Thank you.
