Guest guest Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hi it depends on why she is deficient. if it is pernicious anaemia then tablets wont be any good and sub lingual drops or spray would be required . if it does turn out to be PA then she will automatically get injections every 2 - 3 months . regards ,annette B12 deficiency Hi everyone Hope everyone had a nice Christmas - wondering if you could help me at all A patients’ mother has just had a minor stroke and all the tests carried out in A & E indicated she is extremely deficient in vitamin B-12. She has been prescribed a course of B12 injections but the patient has asked me if there is any oral preparations that could be used in the long term. Obviously any underlying causes will need to be check for but I understand that large doses orally can be absorbed well enough and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations regarding best form to use (liquid or tablet) and dosage as I know views keep changing as to the best way Best wishes Niki Visit Your Group List Owner: Graham White, MNIMH MARKETPLACE Stay on top of your group activity without leaving the page you're on - Get the Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi Annette Thanks for your help but I remember reading somewhere that high doses of B12 tablets taken orally worked even with PA by flooding the gut with excess B12, allowing some of it to be absorbed even though there is very little intrinsic factor around and wondered if anyone had experience with this?
