I'm really concerned about my husband's health. He recently got his blood test results and his B12 level is really low at 119. The doctor recommended he take a Hosit tablet every day and mix Convales powder in water. He's been following this regimen for the past 10 days, but he hasn't noticed any improvement. We're wondering if this is the right treatment plan or if he should have had an injection to quickly get his B12 levels up to around 300. What do you think?

The prescribed medications, Hosit (cyanocobalamin) tablets and Convales powder, are oral supplements aimed at increasing vitamin B12 levels; however, given your husband's severe deficiency (119), an injection course might be more effective in rapidly raising levels to the desired range (200-300); consult his doctor to discuss the possibility of switching to injectable B12 or adding it to his current oral regimen.
