Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Hi, depending on your anemia, it would take a minimum of 2-3 weeks for response and improvement symptomatically for breathlessness and calf muscle pains.
2. Additionally, eggs and dairy products can also be used to improve B12 levels.
3. Check with reticulocyte count after 15 days of treatment to identify improvement.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
