Question

My vitamin B12 level has been at 138 for the past two years and I'm having bowel movements three times a day. I've already tried taking Vitcofol injections, five doses of 2 ml, but didn't notice any improvement. I recently heard about Metacobalamin tablets and was wondering if I should try them. What's the right dosage? Is there another treatment that might help?

Question

I've just had a liver function test done and noticed that my SGPT level is at 81, which I understand is higher than the usual range. I'm trying to figure out if I should be concerned about this and if it means I need to start taking any medication. Could this possibly be related to my weight, or might something else be causing it?
