I received a call from my pharmacy this morning that my injectable B12 is ready for pickup; I requested my refill in February. I live in Texas. Hopefully it's available in all states now.

Up in Canada, I managed to pickup a second 10ml bottle on Saturday just walking in to my local pharmacy. They only had the one bottle, but at least it is slowly arriving.

It appears that B12 shortage has reached UK pharmacies!

I've just been to pick up my B12 from Boots and they were about to give me a different brand than I am used to which doesn't contain preservatives. So I went to another chemist and asked if they stocked the brand I use and they told me that there has been a shortage for the last few weeks. I hope it doesn't continue long. Although I am stocked up with B12 ampouls which I bought off the net, for the prescription, I don't want to be in a situation where I am forced to use the one that contains preservatives.

Not what you're looking for?
