5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Demonstrate the effectiveness of a single dose of a multivitamin complex for the treatment of megaloblastic anemia
Detailed Description
The investigators will administrate a single intramuscular dose of hydroxocobalamin 10,000mcg, Thiamin 100mg, Pyridoxine 50mg. To assess response to treatment, a complete blood count (CBC) will be performed weekly during the first month of treatment, after the first month a CBC will be taken monthly for 6 months. Also to confirm the diagnosis and assess response the investigators will measure levels of methylmalonic acid, homocysteine, and hydroxocobalamin at the beginning of the study, 3 and 6 months.
