Poor function of megaloblasts can be regulated by supplementing vitamin B12 as well as folic acid, and in more severe cases, potassium supplements are also needed.
1. Intramuscular vitamin B12 can be chosen to help hemoglobin recovery under doctor’s guidance. Patients who have undergone total gastrectomy or who develop pernicious anemia usually require lifelong maintenance therapy.
2. Megaloblastic anemia is usually associated with folic acid deficiency, which can be supplemented by oral folic acid under the guidance of a doctor, or by intramuscular injection if the gastrointestinal function is relatively poor, and commonly used drugs include calcium tetrahydrofolate.
3. During the treatment period, a large amount of potassium in the patient’s body will enter into the cells, which may induce hypokalemia, so during the treatment period, potassium should also be supplemented in time.
Poor function of megaloblasts should go to the hospital in time, so the condition will usually be controlled after timely supplementation of vitamins and folic acid. Specific medications should be used under medical supervision.
