Is It Safe To Take Vitamin B12 And D For G6PD Deficiency?
I am G6PD deficient. My recent blood tests have come out to have Vit B12 as well as Vit D deficiency. My doc has prescribed me with B12 injections and oral liquid for Vit D. Is ut safe to have B12 shots as well as Vit D liquid for a G6PD deficient person?
Vitamin B12 injections & oral Vitamin D are safe drugs in patients with G6PD deficiency. You may please take the prescribed medications, there is probably no risk of hemolysis associated with these vitamins.
Hope this answers your query.
