Is Vitamin Shot Only Solution To Normalize The Vitamin B12 Level?

My levels for b12 are at 122 and my folate is at. 56.2, I have other below normal levels on my test and it s states there is a b12 deficiency present. Doctors didn t seem to worried and I needed to ask for b12 shots, which she reluctantly gave to me for every 2 weeks for a month at 1000mcg, then once a month for a year. Should I be worried they re not giving me enough b12, and should they be looking into this problem more since I am very symptomatic? Need answers, thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that actually injectable B12 is a good treatment of choice for Vitamin B12 deficiency. But there are other methods also available that is sublingual tablet of B12 and folic acid. Tablet MBson SL available in market which is sublingual tablet, have to put below the tongue after crushing. The effect is very good. You can discuss this treatment option with your doctor.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
