Hi

can I use an auto pen for b12 is it refills that I would buy, could someone pls give advice this will be my 1st time I live in UK

unfortunately not aware of a pen that you can use for B12 - don't know that you would be able to source refills. Some people do use autoinjectors - which are slightly different.

May be someone out there who is aware of B12 for pens.

I am not aware of an auto pen. Allledgedly because the synthetic B12 is too thick.

What is a auto injection please. Where do we obtain them? What are they? Please

No there isn't one at the moment. I think it's because of the thickness of the product we would be administering? It needs a special technique to inject it into the muscle.

The only thing I use to 'top up' my prescription is a sublingual spray but it is a different type of B12 supliment to the type we have injected in the UK.

If you blood tests are showing you are low then you should ask if you can have your injections more frequently to help with that.

Apparently it's only good for injections less that 0.3 ml and somebody on a diabetes forum says that it's no less painful than a needle. And the ampoules it requires are single-use. Sounds expensive.
