If cyanocobalamin is not being absorbed properly, should I continue taking Neurobion Forte tablets?

If cyanocobalamin is not adequately absorbed due to conditions such as pernicious anemia, gastrointestinal malabsorption, or other underlying medical disorders, oral tablets like Neurobion Forte may not provide sufficient benefit, and your doctor may recommend vitamin B12 injections which bypass the gastrointestinal tract and ensure reliable absorption; the choice of therapy depends on the underlying cause and your clinical status, therefore you should not continue, discontinue, or switch treatment without proper medical evaluation and professional guidance.

Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) from tablets like Neurobion Forte may not be absorbed well if there is an underlying issue affecting absorption in the gut.
🩺 Possible Reasons for Poor Absorption
- Conditions like pernicious anemia or intrinsic factor deficiency reduce B12 absorption from the intestines.
- Certain gastrointestinal disorders (e.g., atrophic gastritis, celiac disease) or surgeries affecting the stomach or ileum can impair absorption.
- Medications or dietary factors might interfere with B12 uptake.
🩺 What You Can Do
- Discuss with a specialist doctor, such as a hematologist or gastroenterologist, who can evaluate for absorption issues.
- Blood tests to check vitamin B12 levels and intrinsic factor antibodies may be needed.
- In cases of poor absorption, vitamin B12 injections (intramuscular cyanocobalamin) are often recommended as they bypass the gut.
Consulting a doctor is important to identify the cause and get appropriate treatment, which may include injections rather than oral tablets. If you want, I can explain more about how vitamin B12 absorption works or the conditions that affect it.
