Hello

Injectable vit B 12 are superior for achieving normal sr B12 level as intestinal absorption as with oral medication is not there, so I will advise to take intramuscular injection alternate day at least 6 ,and then repeat blood test.

You can take injection eldervit from your doctor.

When such patients come to our hospital I advise them blood test like, ACCP, ESR, complete blood count, HLA B27.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
