If left untreated, it can also lead to neurological damage

The standard regimen involves: Loading doses without neurological involvement : 1 mg intramuscularly three times a week for 2 weeks [3] [8] Loading doses with neurological involvement : 1 mg intramuscularly on alternate days until no further improvement [3] [8] Maintenance therapy : 1 mg every 23 months for life in cases of pernicious anaemia or irreversible malabsorption (every 2 months if neurological involvement) [3] [8] This aggressive approach aims to prevent irreversible neurological damage, though recovery of established neuropathy may be incomplete, particularly if treatment is delayed

Whenever possible avoid getting B12 shots from your PCP unless they also have some background in integrative medicine
