Is it safe to take Neurobion Forte long-term (on a schedule of two months on and two months off) as a cheaper alternative to MMX B12 for a vitamin B12 deficiency, and does it have any side effects or risks over time?
Hello. I understand wanting a more affordable option for your B12 deficiency. While Neurobion Forte is cheaper, it contains much less vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) than MMX B12 (methylcobalamin) and includes vitamin B6. Taking vitamin B6 long-term, even with breaks, can sometimes lead to nerve irritation. Additionally, an on-and-off schedule may not keep your B12 levels stable. I recommend discussing your budget with your doctor. They can suggest an affordable, high-dose generic vitamin B12 supplement that is safe and effective for your specific needs.
