Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

I have gone through your history.

There is no fixed dose schedule for vitamin injections.

I usually follow vitamin B 12 injections initially on alternate day then gradually reducing its frequency to once a month.
It also mainly depends on your symptoms, work, lifestyle factors and tolerability.
You should consult tour doctor to decide exact dose requirement in your case.

You may re check vitamin B 12 level after certain period of time as advised by your doctor to have further guidance regarding dose frequency.

I hope It will help you.

Thanks.
