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.

Yes, Cobal 500 is safe to improve B12 levels. Also increase intake of B12 rich foods like dairy and eggs. For uric acid, drink more water and limit red meat and alcohol. Please repeat B12 and uric acid tests after 6 to 8 weeks to monitor your response to treatment.
