You can only obtain B12 ampoules for self injection with a prescription in the UK . They can be obtained from German online pharmacies , without prescription versandapo.de (but they were out of stock yesterday )

No. Unless you have a rare eye condition (Leber's Optic Neuropathy) then there is no problem with cyanocobalamin. The amount of cyanide produced is about the same as that from five apple pips.
