Why shouldn't you give folate in patients with a B12 deficiency?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recently underwent a medical checkup, and my report shows that I have a vitamin B12 deficiency. I would like to know how much time it typically takes to recover from B12 deficiency without using any external supplements.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Please suggest medication for my blood report showing vitamin B12 and vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin B12 is 111 pg per ml and vitamin D is 10.4 ng per ml.
