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).

My blood report shows mild anisocytosis and mild eosinophilia. Could you please suggest the way forward? What does this indicate and what should I do next?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have had tingling sensations in my hands and legs for the last 3 years, but I have not checked my vitamin B12. Yesterday, I took my first tablet of vitamin B12, 1500 mcg. I am planning to go for the test tomorrow. My concern is, will the tablet I took affect my test report or show any false results since I have taken it only once?
