Hello Dear,
Pernicious anemia is a decrease in red blood cells that occurs when the body cannot properly absorb vitamin B12 from the gastrointestinal tract. Vitamin B12 is necessary for the formation of red blood cells.
Monthly vitamin B12 injections are prescribed to correct the vitamin B12 deficiency. This therapy corrects the anemia and may correct the neurological complications if taken soon enough.
It is recommended  that elderly patients with gastric atrophy take vitamin B12 supplements by mouth in addition to monthly injections.
A well-balanced diet is essential to provide other elements for healthy blood cell development, such as folic acid, iron, and vitamin C
The outcome is usually excellent with treatment
