I recently underwent a full body check up and found that I have Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D deficiencies. My report shows: Vitamin B12: 59 pg/mL Vitamin D: 13.6 ng/mL One doctor suggested taking Meconerve injections (1 ampule IM daily for 5 days, then once a week for 4 weeks, followed by once a month for 12 months).

What is MCH in a blood test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I experience numbness in the fingers of my hand when I wake up. My blood reports are normal, and I do not have diabetes. I also performed the Phalen test, which did not indicate symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Please advise what could be causing this and what I should do

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Dear Dr, B12 deficiency has been reported in the blood report. Please guide me about substitute of Inj Mobyrin 1500 mg IM as the same is not available in the vicinity.
