Hydroxo & Methyl

I’ve been on hydroxo injections for around 2 years. Recovery is very slow.

I’ve got hold of 10 vials of methylcobalamin.

Should inject methyl every day and hydroxo every other day.

Is it ok to take methyl sublinguals after I’ve finished with the vials?

Hello, I do not think there is a definitive answer to your question. I inject hydroxocobalamin morning and methylcobalamin afternoon, l used to take sublingual drops separate but now I have taken them with injections and some separate. Does not seem to affect me except I feel better on more.

Hello there. Earlier this year I started taking methylcobalamin sublingual tablets with 2 monthly hydroxocobalamin injections from GP. My main problem was that the methylcobalamin sublinguals contained mannitol. I improved pretty well on the sublinguals except for the most appalling diarrhoea which I put down to the mannitol. I don't know if anyone else on this fabulous site can identify methylcobalamin sublinguals without this type of additive or to identify a source of methylcobalamin for injection. I believe the methylcobalamin may be better than hydroxocobalamin. Good luck.
