No they are not very painful. Depends upon how the phlebotomist is administering it to you.

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

Take a HBsAg Test (Hepatitis B surface antigen) Test or Take a Vitamin D (1,25 Dihydroxy Cholecalciferol) Test

Hello Sir/Madam, I have been feeling lightheaded, so my doctor suggested checking my vitamin levels. My blood report shows Vitamin B12 at 172 ng and Vitamin D at 6. The doctor prescribed Neurobion Forte for 10 days and Meconerve Plus for 15 days. I am experiencing daily nausea, lightheadedness, and headache. I want to know if my Vitamin B12 level will increase with this treatment and whether I should stop taking Meconerve Plus, as it is causing me significant discomfort.

My latest blood report shows that I have low Vitamin B12 at 102 which should be above 211 and a high uric acid level of 9.5 which should be below 7. I need to know if I can take a Vitamin B12 tablet called Cobal 500 mcg Mecobalamin to increase my Vitamin B12 levels.
