Dear patient, first donot panic about the results, usually indian females have low b-12 and vit-d levels as they donot take nutritive diets, and also they avoid taking milk products in daily routine. First, you should start eating healthy foods, avoid junk which is the major factor of b-12 decifiency, eat seasonal fruits. About the medication: you can take methylcobal 500 mcg once daily and check b-12 levels in a month. For any other query please feel to contact me.
