Self Injecting

[steveb12]

I have taken the decision to self inject Hydroxocobalamin.

Can someone give me some links for all the things i will need.

It feels good to be taking control of this.

I get my syringes, wipes, first yellow bio box from medisave. They are very affordable, easy too use and good quality. A lot of people from the site use them. As for your b12 ampules I can't help with them sorry, I get mine on free prescription frommy GP

[Gambit62 Administrator]

common sites for sourcing hydroxo are versando.de, amazon.de, goldpharma and mycare.de

[Polaris]

I order mine from: mycare.de/

Easy to use - just press Union Jack for translation

Search for 'hydroxocobalamin' and select: B12 DEPOT ROTEXMEDICA (10x1ml). Pay through PayPal.

Syringes, needles, sterile wipes and Sharps boxes from:

medisave.co.uk/instantsearc...

BD Plastipak 2ml syringes

TErumo Agani 21G x 1 1/2 " green needles to draw the solution up into the syringe

Blue needles for the IM injection

or

BD Microlance 26G x 3/8" Brown needles for sub cut

..........,

Warm up the ampoule of B12 to body temperature and Inject slowly.

IM injections:

Sub cut:

GOod luck Steve

PS have edited above - should say I'm fairly new to SI so have no idea about the Solcare syringe

I personally use brown needles for subcut but, for IM, the BD Microlance blue 23g x 1.25 ", look fine to me - as other reply below.

I use "versandapo.de in English" Yes, type all that and you will get straight through to the German pharmacy in English ! Then search for - Hydroxocobalamin acetat . You will then see all the Hydroxocobalamin ampoules they have in stock . I personally prefer the 1mg x1ml costing around 55 euros plus about 12 euros for courier .

[steveb12]

NIce help from people here. Thanks.

I have ordered my B12 now for the needles ect.

How about gauge and length.

I will go for IM to start with as that is what i was shown

for my loading doses.
