  5. I had my gallbladder removed about a year ago and have been taking Hosit Tablet for vitamin B12 deficiency since then. My recent vitamin B12 level is above 800. Now I am experiencing burning/tingling in my fingers and toes, along with mild neck pain. I walk 5 km daily and do yoga. My sugar and BP are normal on treatment. I am a vegetarian but take eggs and milk. Could these symptoms be side effects of Hosit Tablet?

I had my gallbladder removed about a year ago and have been taking Hosit Tablet for vitamin B12 deficiency since then. My recent vitamin B12 level is above 800. Now I am experiencing burning/tingling in my fingers and toes, along with mild neck pain. I walk 5 km daily and do yoga. My sugar and BP are normal on treatment. I am a vegetarian but take eggs and milk. Could these symptoms be side effects of Hosit Tablet?

Hosit Tablet contains Mecobalamin (vitamin B12), Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and folic acid (vitamin B9), which are usually safe and commonly used to treat nerve-related symptoms caused by deficiency. A vitamin B12 level above 800 is generally not harmful and does not usually cause tingling or burning sensations. In most cases, Hosit Tablet itself is not the cause of these symptoms when taken in the recommended doses. Burning or tingling in the fingers and toes is more commonly due to nerve irritation or neuropathy. This can happen even after correcting B12 levels, especially if nerves were affected earlier. Other possible causes include vitamin B6 imbalance, neck-related nerve compression, or early changes in the spine. The mild neck pain you are experiencing may also point towards a nerve or muscle-related issue. Since your blood sugar and blood pressure are well controlled, major metabolic causes are less likely. It is best to discuss this with your doctor for proper assessment and further evaluation if needed.

Gallbladder removal a year ago and ongoing vitamin B12 deficiency treated with Hosit Tablet (containing folic acid, pyridoxine, and mecobalamin) with a recent B12 level above 800, combined with normal sugar and blood pressure under treatment and a vegetarian diet including eggs and milk, frames your medical background.

🩺 Possible Causes of Burning/Tingling and Neck Pain

  • Despite adequate vitamin B12, burning or tingling sensations and mild neck pain might stem from peripheral neuropathy for other reasons, cervical spine issues like nerve compression, or vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) toxicity, which can cause nerve symptoms even at moderate doses.

⚠️ Potential Side Effects of Hosit Tablet

  • Pyridoxine in Hosit Tablet can cause neuropathy with high or prolonged doses. Your current dose is moderate, but ongoing monitoring is important since nerve symptoms could relate to vitamin B6 accumulation.

🩺 Recommendations

  • It is advisable to have a medical evaluation including assessment for cervical spine problems and review of your vitamin B6 intake. Nerve conduction studies might help clarify the cause. Consulting a neurologist would be beneficial if symptoms persist or worsen.

Please follow up with your neurologist or primary care doctor to ensure proper assessment and management of these symptoms.
