Evaluation of a New Sublingual Methylcobalamin Dosage Regimen for Childhood Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Sublingual methylcobalamin, a noninvasive treatment option, was as effective as intramuscular cyanocobalamin. This study is to compare the standard intramuscular protocol with a new dosing regimen for sublingual methylcobalamin. This study showed that it is also useful for children to hold the spray in their mouths for 1 min and avoid food intake for the next 15 min.
