Hello lybrate-user. Taking injections and supplements may bring the levels to normal for time being. But after stopping them there are chances that in a month or two the levels will again come down. As it does not treat the cause of low levels. Also just taking supplements will not cure the actual disease. Most of the patients miss this fact and keep on running from doctor to doctor and ingesting unwanted medications. Take proper treatment to cure the cause and all your problems will vanish in no time.
