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).

Hi Sir or Madam, I was having strange sensation on my whole body but after taking Neurobion Forte I am feeling well. Suddenly it started again and after 2 days it went away as I continued the medicine. My question is how long should I take this medicine? Or should I switch to injection or other medicines? This is my blood report.

Hi, Is it safe to take vitamin tablets daily? If so, which ones should I take? I have been diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency, and I am considering taking all vitamin supplements regularly.
