Vitcofol injection is safe to take for B12 supplementation in patients with hypothyroidism. It is important to maintain adequate B12 levels, especially in patients with thyroid disorders. The usual dosage for Vitcofol injection is 1 ml intramuscularly once a day for 5-10 days, followed by a maintenance dose as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Question

My mom, who's 52, has been experiencing this burning sensation all over her body for about two months now. She's seen a couple of doctors, including a neurologist, and had tests done for sugar, BP, cholesterol, and nerves, but everything's coming back normal. The doctors recently told her she has hypothyroidism and she's been on medication for it for the last 25 days, but there's still no improvement. I'm really concerned and not sure what to do next. Could you offer any advice?
