Hello

Welcome to HCM

So you are suffering from B12 deficiency plus vitamin D3 deficiency

If such patient comes to me I usually advice him/her following points

1. Inj.Vitcofol 1ml Intramuscular per day for first 10 days. Followed by same injection once a week for next 5 weeks and then once a month for 1 year. Later on you can continue oral tablets for 5-6 month.

Vitamin B 12 deficiency most of the time found in vegetarians. If possibleto you then you can start non-veg food too.

2. In vitamin D deficiency I usually prescribe D 3 with appropriate dose once a week for 8-10 weeks. Sun exposure is very essential to correct vitamin d deficiency plus eat plenty of vitamin D rich food like dairy products, nuts, fish etc.

Hope I have solved your concern.For any further question you can contact me.

Thank you

Regards
Dr.Om
