Question : Hello...a couple months back, my family physician had given me a course of Vitamin B12 and D supplements to address numbing pain in one of my toes. This course was for 1 month and it did help as the pain went away. Along with that, my dandruff(and the itchiness associated with it) also reduced a lot.

Currently, I'm out of town and wanted to check if its ok to again take the Vitamin B12 supplements. If yes, can you suggest name of the supplement and for how long?

Detailed Answer:
Hi ,
As you have improved your symptoms after taking vitamin, previously, so that means ,your symptoms are due to vitamin deficiency.
Generally 2 month course is needed, so tak 1 month more therapy of capsule supradyn once daily.
hope your query is clear now.
Thank you
