Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having pernicious anemia. As you are required to take injection of it. Whether you have tried tablets of vitamin B12? If you have intrinsic factor of vitamin B12 leading to pernicious anemia then you have no option but to take injection of vitamin B12. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
