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.

Yes it is safe as you said it is 1500 mcg/ day but anything in excess cause some effects on body and remember what ever may be the supplements you shouldn't continue more than 1 and half months. Try to consume through food than taking tablets. I already answered similar question please check in my feed and if you need any assistance you can consult me.

Dear lybrate-user
definitely there is vitamin b12 deficiency which leads to all these test findings. It's called megaloblastic anemia and pancytooenia
it's a completely curable condition. No need being tensed. Curable with vitamin b12 supplements. But before that what about her dietary habits, veg or non veg, about the mcv parameter in blood results. It will be really helpful for me if you could share the blood.

Beplex forte is a multivitamin. It contains vit c plus other b vitamins too. If you are specifically interested to increase vit b12 level - take nurokind od (or any tablet having composition - methylcobalamine 1500 mg)- 1 tab daily. Preferably avoid antacids. Take the tablet for 1 month and get yourself tested. You also need to consume animal foods like fish / meat which are rich sources of vit b12.
