Question : I've received my health check report yesterday. I would like to consult the doctor to understand the report and seek advise.
Brief Answer:
Hi,
Detailed Answer:
I have gone thru your health check up reports. Though some of the reports are marginally out of range, but I do not think these as clinically significant, particularly seeing your other reports. However, I think, that the following reports should be particularly taken care of by you.
Your vitamin D is low, though shown in refrence range, still you may take vitamin D at least for some time.
Your vitamin B12 is definitely low. Hence you are advised to take vitamin B12 to make for its deficiency.
I think, these are the remedial measures, you should take, as far as, your health check up reports are concerned
Symptoms of Vitamin B12 & Vitamin D deficiency may be variable & mostly depend on duration & severity of deficiency.
Symptoms of B12 deficiency may be general like fatigue, weakness, dizziness as well as shortness of breath etc. Neurological symptoms like numbness & tingling in hands & feet, difficulty of balance & co-ordination may be also there. Loss of appetite, ulcers of tongue & oral cavity are other presentations.
Similarly in vitamin D deficiency bones & muscle pains, muscle cramps & joint pain may be there. In severe deficiency weakening of bones( osteoporosis) or soft & deformed bones in children(rickets) may be there.
The required dose of B12 in your case may be 1mg of B12 daily for 1-2 months & then 250 microgram daily for some time as a maintainance dose depending on your symptoms & blood levels of Vitamin B12.
Similarly Dosage of vitamin D in deficiency may be 6000-10000 IU daily for 3-6 months or 60,000 iu weekly for 3-6 months, followed by a maintainance dose of 1000-2000 IU daily or 60,000 IU fortnightly or monthly depending on the levels of vitamin D in your blood.

Could you please provide a prescription for the required supplements?
I used to take Calcimax Forte, 1 tablet every night till Nov'24. I've resumed the same after this Healthcheck. In addition I've started taking Seacod, 1 capsule in the night. Other than these two, no other medicine or supplements.
Brief Answer:
Hi,
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Both calcimax forte as well as seacod softgel capsules are health supplements. However, these do not contain adequate doses to treat your deficiency of vitamin D as well as of B12.
There is no need of a prescription for these. Both these are easily available OTC without a prescription. These are available in varying doses under different brand names. Even generic formulation under vitamin D & Vitamin B12 are available with the pharmacies OTC & NEED NO PRESCRIPTION.
