In clinical practice, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends pyridoxine (10-25 mg three or four times daily) as a first-line treatment for morning sickness, given its efficacy in reducing nausea and its excellent safety record
A 2010 study also found kidney function declined much quicker in one form of kidney disease in those who supplemented B12 compared to no supplementation.[2] It is difficult to 100% confirm all forms used in these studies were cyanocobalamin, but the ones that did mention the type of B12, did use cyanocobalamin and this is often the most commonly supplemented form
This is where a deeper approach becomes mandatory
We know that macrocytosis is a very, very late stage of B12 deficiency and that severely deficient patients may not present with this sign, the administration of folic acid also masks macrocytosis by normalising the size of the blood cells
