Both Vitamin B12 and D3 are low. These can cause fatigue, weakness, and neurological symptoms. Supplements (oral or injectable B12, and D3 weekly sachets or tablets) can help. Discuss dosage with your doctor.

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

Take a VITAMIN B12 Test or Take a 25-HYDROXY VITAMIN D (D2+D3) Test

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?

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.
