Oral vitamin B12 versus intramuscular vitamin B12 for vitamin B12 deficiency (605 words)
The evidence derived from these limited studies suggests that high oral doses of B12 (1000 mcg and 2000 mcg) could be as effective as intramuscular administration in achieving haematological and neurological responses.
