Can I Take Any Oral Substitute For The Nerve Problem?

Dear Doctor, I m a 73+ male. My neurologist Rx Renerve Injection 1 amp (IM) 1/weekly for 8 weeks and subsequently 1/monthly. This I continued for 3 months. Couldn t continue since then. Now, I m not in a position to consult him as he away from the country. Can I take any oral substitute like ME 12 OD or Mecoford plus, as it is prescribed by present Gen. physician? For how long?
