Ordering Hydroxycobalamin, help please,

I have been advised by a doctor and B12org to get Hydroxycobalamin 1mg/1ml x100 to self inject from versandApo.de but it is in German and there looks like no access for Uk, or it could be my B12 foggy brain. Has anyone found this as well and could you tell me where else I can order from,

Thank you xX

think versando has recently sold the bit that dispatches B12 to the UK so it's now another company but I can't remember the details

I use another german on-linepharmacy called mycare.de so you could try them instead.

wedgewood - were you involved in the recent discussions?

Geeze I have to order a 100 of these which is 10 packs Gambit. As I have to inject one a day for 2 weeks and then 2 weekly injections for 8 weeks...this is going to be expensive. He is trying to heal my abnormal gait and neurological problems....

I have just looked on amazon de English

If you put 03862305 in the search bar you will find what you are looking for. It took just over a week to arrive. The boxes look different from the amazon site but they are hydroxocobalamin and made by the recommended company.

clivealive Katherine1234 that's probably because I managed to get the English link up.

I'm concerned that I cannot find a supplier of cyanocobamalin injections anywhere.

My pharmacy (Tesco) rang this afternoon saying they are also having difficulty sourcing it. Whether this has anything to do with the N.I.C.E. NHS directive saying it is no longer to be prescribed or if there is another supply problem (as has happened in the past) I don't know.

The five vials I have just collected have a September expiry date so I don't know what will happen after they have gone if Tesco cannot find a source.

Hate to suggest this but if your local pharmacy can't source it may be one of the on-line ones is still able to source with a prescription, eg the one that you can find under the my hub link ... it might also be an idea to contact the PAS if you are a member.

you can order packs of 100 which gives isn't as expensive - and you only pay the despatch costs once.

I normally buy 100-200 at a time as I tend to inject 4-5x a week.

I have emailed versandapo.de in German and English. They took ages to reply . They did reply in German saying that they will continue to supply to U.K. They did not answer to my question if they would have the site in English . I have noticed that they often run out of the Rotexmedica ampoules, which are the ones I like (1mg x 1ml ) I chose versandapo.de because their shipping is more reasonable ( €9 ) as opposed to mycare.de which is €17– that is very steep if one only wants a box of 10 ampoules .

It’s easy to get mycare.de in English if you google “ mycare.de in English “

I take this opportunity to thank you very much for all the great help you give to this forum .

If you add Google Translate to your device and then use Google Chrome as the search engine, it should come up in English.

It is possible to set up an account and get ampoules sent to the UK.

For more information and the whole discussion thread you can look up my profile by double clicking on my name and see my recent post about "ampoules arrived OK from versandapo.de" or something similar. Don't be put off by it though... somewhere somebody answers the worries! Look further down the replies for the answers!

If you still have trouble reply to me here and I'll look through it again tomorrow.

I ordered 2X10 ampules from mycare.de last week , you do have to search as there is a lot on the site but it wasn't difficult to find , and the union jack was back in the top right of the page, delivery was 5 days but was told it could be 3 to 10 days depending on shipping.

Good luck and all the best

Hi Katherine 1234, I followed the really helpful advice from denisinmilden to use Google Chrome and Google Translate. I had previously ordered from the ‘old’ Versandapo and although I couldn’t get in and use my old registration, I just joined the ‘new’ Versandapo as a ‘new’ customer. I received the products very quickly and it was just as efficiently done as before under the old owner - I should just say that I couldn’t work out how to pay by Visa so had to use my husband’s Paypal account. The vials were delivered by DHL without any problems whatsoever. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Thanks to denisinmilden and everyone else who posted information about this somewhat confusing changeover - it’s difficult when it’s in a language we don’t know.

Not what you're looking for?
