Lightbulb The key word is "intensive"

Since doctors tend to inject 1000mcg daily during "intensive" therapy.

Here is ONE case from 1987:

[Hypopotassemia and megaloblastic anemia. Presentation of a case]
[Article in Italian]

Omboni E, Checchini M, Longoni F.

A case of megaloblastic anaemia probably caused by malabsorption is analysed. Blood potassium levels were monitored before and during treatment with vitamin B12. It is concluded that low potassium levels in chronically hypoxic patients may be dangerous and that blood potassium should be monitored constantly during the treatment of this type of anaemia.

PMID: 3627537 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
Typically oral therapy is not considered intensive...since only a few micrograms are absorbed from one dose. It is a slow process, taking weeks/months.
