Which doctor should I consult for Vitamin B12 deficiency, and can it be cured with medication?

Asked by Female, 45 · 2 months ago

For a Vitamin B12 deficiency, you should initially consult a General Physician or Family Doctor. If the cause is due to absorption issues, a Gastroenterologist may be consulted. Yes, it can absolutely be cured with medication. Treatment is highly effective and typically involves prescription-strength oral Vitamin B12 supplements or intramuscular B12 injections, depending on the severity and cause of the deficiency. Once your B12 levels are restored to normal, most symptoms resolve completely, though some individuals (like vegans or those with pernicious anemia) may require long-term maintenance therapy.
