Being a manifestation of vitamin B{{ssub|12}} deficiency, pernicious anaemia is treated by administering vitamin B{{ssub|12}} supplements. Note that if oral tablets are chosen for this purposes, much higher doses are given than normally required in order to overcome the impaired absorption that characterises pernicious anaemia. If oral tablets are not sufficient, vitamin B{{ssub|12}} can also be administered via [[Injection_%28medicine%29|injection]]. Often the patient can learn to do this at home. | |||

Medical Therapy
Being a manifestation of vitamin BTemplate:Ssub deficiency, pernicious anaemia is treated by administering vitamin BTemplate:Ssub supplements. Note that if oral tablets are chosen for this purposes, much higher doses are given than normally required in order to overcome the impaired absorption that characterises pernicious anaemia. If oral tablets are not sufficient, vitamin BTemplate:Ssub can also be administered via injection. Often the patient can learn to do this at home.
