Oral vitamin <scp>B</scp>12 treatment is effective for children with nutritional vitamin <scp>B</scp>12 deficiency

Abstract

Data from this study indicate that oral vit-B12 (1000 μg) for 4 months is effective, giving clinicians more choice, for treatment of children with nutritional vit-B12 deficiency. However, despite this high dose, lower levels were achieved in older children indicating the necessity of dosage adjustment in accordance with body weight.
