Asking for Self, Female, 20 years old, Rawalpindi
I have been loosing hair since 8 months, have been to dermatologist but he kept saying everything is fine(only gave me shampoo/vit), but now, I myself did tests and it comes out to be severe vit D,B12 deficiency. My dr said to have vit D injection once every 15 days. Do I still need oral vit D tablets? And how long do I need these injections? Also he did n't prescribed anything for B12, Kindly tell me what to do for B12.
asalamwalaikum, kindly if you are taking vit.D injections then no need to take vit.D tablets and continue for at least for 3 months and again test vit.D level and for vit B12 you can take tablet surbex z one tablet daily for 3 months continuously and make your diet better thanks
take 6 injections of vit D than repeat test. take tab methycobal once daily with lunch for 1month.get ur CBC test nd if Hb is low kindly contact me again.

B12 has no side effects unless u take it for very long period. if u r taking iron supplements even than u need to get CBC done.

As u started with saying tht u r loosing hair....but trust me with this tht vit D n vit B has hardly any effect of ur hairfall. U need to do ur Serum ferritin n total iron binding capacity to improve ur hair fall. Vit D n B with help u with bones n sensation of ir hands n feet. I'm sure who prescribed u vit D injection can guide u better with how n when to take it.
Regards
