Hi,

Treatment of CRPS is emperical. Many drugs has been tried and tested. Dose of Vitamin supplements is not pre defined. The dose varies from individual to individual depending on the severity of the condition and also based on the response to vitamin injections.

Dose of Vitamin B12 injection varies from 1 to 3 mg per day where as Vitamin B9 varies from 100 microgram to 1 mg.

Also Vitamin C has been shown to have beneficial role in CRPS.

Do get back to me for additional information anytime.

Take care.
