Asking For Self, Female 30, Karachi

Hello doc, I was diagnosed with very low vitamin b12 deficiency last month and my doctor prescribed me b12 injections for 7 days jo main nay lagwaey aur phir 7 days tak b12 ki medicine bhi li. Now I noticed I've gained 4kgs weight and aaj kal mujhay bhook bhi bohat lag rahi hai. Is it because of b12 supplements? Kya b12 supplements laynay say weight gain hota hai?

Nothing to do with Vit B12. Manage weight by diet & exercise.

Vit. B12 does not increases body weight.
How ever Vit B 12 deficiency reduces appetite. After taking B12 supplements your appetite has improved and by taking extra diet you gained weight. So take moderate amount of died and increase physical activity to over come weight gain.
