I marked effectiveness and ease of use as three stars only and would like to clarify: whilst the medicine itself is effective for patients with pernicious anaemia, the shots tend to be given once every three months by most surgeries. I have been told that this is because the shot is supposed to last that long. It does not. After three weeks/one month at most, symptoms recur. Therefore, whilst it is good at treating my condition, I think that guidelines(in the UK and Ireland) should be changed to suit patients needs.
