Treatment
Treatment depends on the cause of B12 deficiency anemia. For treatment of anemia due to a lack of intrinsic factor, see:Pernicious anemia
The goal of treatment is to increase your vitamin B12 levels.
Treatment may include a shot of vitamin B12 once a month. Persons with severely low levels of
B12 may need more shots in the beginning. You may need shots every month for the rest of your life.
Some patients may also need to take vitamin B12 supplements by mouth. For some people,
high-dose vitamin B12 tablets taken by mouth work well, and shots are not needed.
Outlook (Prognosis)
With treatment, patients usually do well.
Long-term vitamin B12 deficiency can cause nerve damage. This may be permanent if you do not start treatment within 6 months of when your symptoms begin.
