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.
