Hello Sir..

Yes,B12 would surely help her..Weekly injectable Methylcobalamin 1000mcg for a month and daily plain b12 tablet 500mcg after food preferably lunch...I hope benefits should outweigh the risks involved..B12 is mainly water soluble and no need to worry about its interaction with levo Er 200/carbidopa 50(only for parkinson's)..
