Hello Doctor,
Recently, I've been grappling with deficiencies in both vitamin D and vitamin B12. Upon consultation with my local doctor, I was advised to undergo a course of multivitamin tablets for a duration of one month to tackle these deficiencies head-on. As the conclusion of this course draws near, I find myself eager to explore what additional steps I can take to effectively manage and address these deficiencies moving forward.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
As per your inquiry, it's imperative to understand that the treatment for such deficiencies typically extends beyond a mere one-month course of multivitamin tablets. The minimum recommended period for treatment is three months. This duration allows for the vitamins to adequately replenish in your system and for any improvements to manifest.
Following the completion of the initial treatment period, it's advisable to undergo repeat blood tests to assess the efficacy of the treatment and to determine any further steps that may be necessary to address your deficiencies comprehensively.
Thanks
