The powdered form of Methylcobalamin B12 can be obtained in U.K. . Hydroxocobalamin , which is the usual B12 for injections in U.K. can only be obtained on prescription in U.K. If Hydroxocobalamin is what you want , it can be obtained without prescription from German online pharmacies . I use “ versandapo.de in English “

Yes type in all of that , and you get through You will need to register when you purchase for the first time . . Search for Hydroxocobalamin, and a drop down list appears . Click on Hydroxocobalamin acetat , and all the choices come up . I use 1mg x1ml ampoules made by Rotexmedica costing about €55.00 for 100 . You can pay with PayPal or a card . Cheapest way to buy with a use by date of nearly 3 years .

So you have to mix it or is it ready mixed?

Thank you

I've used both of these companies for ready to inject 1ml ampoules:

versandapo.de/article/detai...

mycare.de/

Search for 'hydroxocobalamin' and select: B12 DEPOT ROTEXMEDICA (10x1ml) or (100x1ml)

Easy to pay through PayPal.

Keep in cool dark place) - versandapo cheaper on delivery :

Syringes, needles, sterile wipes and Sharps boxes from:

medisave.co.uk/consumab :

Green needles to draw the solution up into the syringe

Blue needles for the IM injection or

No , it is not already mixed . That is why it is legal to sell it without a prescription, as it’s not ready to be injected . You would need to get saline ( only possible on prescription in UK) Bodfeld Apotheke on line pharmacy in Germany is where you can get it . But I think that Oxford Biosciences will give you instructions . If you do that you are left with a small bottle of liquid Methylcobalamin , which to my mind isn’t quite as safe as having individual ampoules . . I have tried it , and it was no better for me than Hydroxocobalamin.

I think I misunderstood you . The Hydroxocobalamin ampoules from Germany are ready mixed of course . Each glass ampoule is completely sealed and you have to break it open at its weakest point at a spot marked on the neck .

I don't understand why these drugs are so expensive in UK and why you need to get them with prescription. Seriously in Greece 3 Hydroxocobalamin ampoules cost 2.30 euros. You don't have to mix anything. You pop the ampoule, you draw the b12 with the needle and you are ready to go. Also T3(thyroid drug) cost 1.16 euros here. It's nothing really.

Yes we have lower salaries but most factories are automated and they have few workers. Also taxes are much lower in UK.

The fact is eleos , that we cannot purchase ampoules of Hydroxocobalamin in the U.K. without a prescription . Our doctors will only prescribe them for use once every 3months , and for many of us that is insufficient. We can get them from German online pharmacies , where they are obtainable “over the counter”, without prescription . I actually only pay about €60 for 100 including shipping . Buying in bulk makes them cheap ——60 cents for an ampoule , so that’s cheaper than in Greece . I told twilighthours72 about Methylcobalamin which is much more expensive , and more difficult to obtain .
